Financial Hack

The personality preference class was… interesting. HR put me through an hour of testing and three hours of scenario testing. It wasn’t until halfway through that I realized… the results of this test may hurt me! Am I going to lose my job over this? But, like I said before, I’m big on honesty at [...]

I was excitedly counting down the days until the last week in January when my husband and I would receive our ‘extra’ checks. Those of you on bi-weekly pay periods understand that twice a year, you receive three paychecks in one month instead of two. We had planned to use this money to pay off [...]

To say I’ve been nervous about the ‘longevity’ of my job is about as big of an understatement as saying George Foreman had a moderately good idea when he bought into the ‘grilling’ concept. My boss notified me that he had submitted all the positions in my department for review today. He doesn’t believe anyone [...]

Guess I’ve got to lay off the Twinkies and pull out the bottle of fake tanner.

In my previous construction related job, if an error was made I would deny it was me. Whatever it was could have had my full name, my job title, my company, my social security number, and the name of my first pet and… I’d still point my finger at the next lowest man on the [...]

I feel like their picture is missing a riding cap, a champion horse, and a gentleman caller.

Perhaps quitting a job should be easier… The good news? I’m making money from two jobs. The bad news? I have to work two jobs. My last day at ‘Big Box Store’ is quickly approaching…err… what I thought was my last day. ‘Hey Rebekah, quick chat?’ my manager asked as he peaked out from his [...]

I’ve never been a ‘New Year’s Resolution’ kind of gal. I have the willpower of a four year old and I’d rather not embarrass myself by making promises I know full well I can’t keep – especially when it comes to reducing sugar, salt, and large amounts of Mexican food from my diet. Sadly, financial [...]

I’m bad at a lot of things. I’m bad at spending money (I like the smell of new things!)… bad at painting my nails red (with the amount I get all over my fingers, they look more bloody than manicured)… bad at playing any sort of sports (they require athleticism – which I have none)… [...]
