extreme budgeting

So I have just reach back to New York City from my vacation in Jamaica.  I can’t tell you how much fun I had for you just won’t believe me.  Being back in my country and living the simple life and be around the person who gave me life was just a wonderful thing.  My mom is like super cool.  She might be a bit stiff here and there, because she is a very structured person and strict, but even she let loose as be both enjoyed our dual vacation.

It felt good to have my mom around again, breakfast, lunch and dinner, served to me like a king.  Okay okay, I know I am not supposed to have my mom working I should be catering to her, but we haven’t seen each other for over 3 years, she missed me.  As I missed her as well.  But enough of my vacation, I will get back to that, let’s jump into my new challenge for the holiday/christmas season.

So the topic is “Extreme Budgeting” in which I need to do to purge myself for the financial dip I went in slightly for my mini vacation and my year overall objective.  So we are going to dual combo this challenge.  Extreme Budgeting and Extreme Dieting, it’s not really extreme, but I am calling it so via it’s sound more interesting don’t it?

To this day I don’t know why a lot of people I know don’t know their credit score?  Maybe the parent never knew theirs, or was ducking the government or ducking some bills, do they not know that affects you in the long run.  Get your credit right.  It’s actually FREE to find it out, every year.  Do you know your credit score?  Do you educate your friends, family and children to build proper credit?
