You Don't Have A Budget And You Wonder Why You Can't Buy A House?

So many people these days do not scrutinize what they spend. You need to sit down and evaluate what you spend each week and on what.

I know plenty of people that can't buy a house. Why?......

• They spend an upwards of $300.00 a month on Starbucks. That is crazy! You are only adding to their profits. What is more important, equity or caffeine?
  
• Gotta get my nails done. $100.00 a month to get nails done? Why? A manicure is all you need. That costs $7 to $10 every 2 weeks. Do you really need back-scratcher nails? It's not good for your real nails anyway. Getting a manicure will keep your real nails healthy and they will grow because of it.
• "Oh, I need those $100 jeans!" Really? Why? Enough said on that subject.
  
• $600.00 a month on 2 car payments. Do you really need to get new cars every 2 to 4 years? You do not. Keeping up with the Jones's is doing no good for you. It's nice to have a new car, but if it's preventing you from buying a home, it's not worth it. Wait until you can afford to do that.
• Buying new clothes each season. Now this boggles my mind! Even if you fluctuate with weight, keep those clothes just in case. That way, you won't have to spend $1,000 each season for clothes. That is almost a mortgage payment right there in some parts of the U.S.
• Lottery tickets. I know people that spend at least $100.00 a week on these, "you-will-never-win" lottery tickets. The odds are against you winning the big bucks. $400.00 a month in lottery tickets is nuts! If you've been playing for 10 years, that's approximately $48,000! Are you kidding me? That money could have been put away for a down payment on a home! Hoping to win the lottery is not the American Dream!
  

Get my point? I'm not saying you can't have any luxuries. Cut down on them.

When I was married to my ex-husband, I figured out if we stop going out to eat 4 times a week, we will be able to buy a house in under 2 years. We socked away his paycheck, and lived on mine. We lived like we had no money but it was temporary. We bought our first home in 1.5 years after we were married.

Now I know expenses and rent have gone up since 1992, but it hasn't doubled. It does take longer these days for a young married couple to save, but you can do it.

So, sit down and figure out what you spend and on what.

Be forewarned: You will go into spend-shock!

Don't Give Up...You Will Get Results!

I have had the T-Mobile family plan cell phone service for almost 2 years. I've never had a dropped call or any other problems and was always happy with their customer service....until yesterday.

Back in October of 2009, my son's cell phone stopped working for no reason. He got the dreaded white, flashing screen. No problem. I went to our local T-Mobile store in Lindenhurst, NY and they exchanged it for me.

In January of 2010, the same thing happened again.

Yesterday, the same thing. This time I wanted a different Nokia model as comparable to the one he had. I wasn't looking for an upgrade, just a comparable priced phone. The store called customer service and I spoke with the representative. She repeated over and over that there is no solution and I would have to have the same model phone shipped to me for the exchange. I told her, "no way! I'll be back in a months time and this is the 3rd time as it is!" She sounded like a robot and I told her "for-get-it!" and I hung up.

I told the store clerk what happened and he called customer service for me....again.

I spoke with the rep and explained what happened....again. He immediately connected me with a specialist because he knew there had to be a resolution to this situation. He transferred me to....Dan.

I explained to Dan the problems my son has been having and he noticed that anyway by looking at my account. I said it's not right to give me the same phone when we all know it's a manufacturer's defect and I'll be back with the same problem. Dan agreed. "Whaaaat? You're kiddin'?" No, I'm not.

I also told Dan that I don't like being held hostage with a contract. Anytime you make a change to your plan, they extend the contract. Dan (The Man), changed my plan right then and there. We now have unlimited texting and phone calls for just a few more dollars a month and my son and I will receive 2 new phones that I chose while in the store. Both phones are upgrades.

Dan (The Man), was sympathetic and validated my feelings. I didn't have to argue with him and didn't have to push him. Unlike the other representative, Dan (The Man) resolved a problem that didn't have to be a problem in the first place!

Thank you Dan (The Man)!
