I love Benjamins!

Money,.......a word that causes so many emotions. Many people say money isn't everything but it sure as hell pays the bills (literally)....I think everyone right about now has some type of money issue. I mean damn,..it it doesn't seem like it's going to get any easier. Nothing is selling, people aren't spending.......it's sad. I wish it would grow on trees,......ohhhh how it would make things easier,.....except that maybe then people will try to steal your tree........

Just needed to get say what I was thinking,............

Baby or the house? You choose!

Do you want to know something funny? Ever read those articles that say how much it costs to have and maintain a baby until the age of 18? Well if I remember correctly I believe it costs about US$290,000 to have and maintain a child. Yes that would include basic necessities,…and no the latest sneakers, latest version of the iphone, or the wii aren’t necessities. That’s the cost of a house!!! And yet people last over 30 years to pay for their home. Do we spend money on unnecessary things? Ummmm…..yes!!! Do you know how nice it would be to not have to pay mortgage? What a load off my shoulders. But wait,..crap we still have to pay for property taxes. Heeeey,….it would be nice if people would be able to finance the costs of having a baby,……lol

Cheaters...be appreciative!

Cheaters,….be appreciative!

I read an article in a Spanish magazine about a woman who was married and had 2 kids whose husband cheated on her. The story goes like this:
She noticed an odd behavior in her husband. He would lock himself in his office and listen to the same love song for hours. This happened for a while but she really got worried because he started to lose weight a lot of weight. So she decided to talk to her hubby. When she asked him what was wrong with him he told her that he’d fallen in love! The poor woman was in shock; she felt her whole life collapse right I front of her. I mean its one thing to cheat but it’s another to cheat and fall in love with that person. She didn’t know what to do. After giving it some thought she told him that she needed a break and was going to leave for a while. She left….FOR A WHOLE MONTH! During this time she left him with the kids and all the duties of caring for a household. She didn’t even call. Now the poor guy had to deal with everything and no help. Imagine, cook, clean, laundry, grocery shopping, pay bills, work, help the kids with their homework, care for the kids, drive them to school, etc. He was so occupied and busy the whole time that every time his new love called, he never had time for her. Within a few days the girl left him because he had neglected her. He was so busy that it ended his relationship. A few weeks later the wife returned without calling or giving any heads up. She just showed up. She thought she was going to find everything a mess but she was surprised to find everything clean and in order.
To make a long story short: The husband realized that what his wife was worth and just how much it takes to keep and maintain a home. He was more in love with her than ever and was willing to do whatever it took to have her forgive him and save their marriage. She, on the other hand, wanted out! She was tired of not being appreciated and realized that she deserved better. So ladies and gents think before you act because a foolish mistake can ruin it all. Be appreciative of your spouse……or you can learn the hard way!

Like Powder

I love the beach! Well I love to sunbathe at the beach but I’m not really a beach type of girl. There’s something about sitting out in the sun at the beach, sweating, hot, thirsty, and then cooling off in the cool refreshing salty water. I recently visited my home town, Dominican Republic and we drove up to Bavaro-Punta Cana. I must say that every time I go there I feel like I’m in Paradise!!! I mean the people are friendly, you can get anything you want and the softest sand in the world is located at the beaches in the Bavaro-Punta Cana area. It feels like baby powder….no joke! I’ve been to many different beaches in my country, in the Caribbean and in the states but nothing compares to the sand in Bavaro.
You know what? There’s something about the Caribbean sun too. When you sunbathe in the Caribbean you get the perfect tan ever. I mean seriously even with SPF 50 + you still get that glow. I don’t know if it’s something in the ocean (maybe it’s saltier……is that possible?) or if it’s something in the air but you better watch out for the Caribbean sun.

I want half of EVERYTHING!!!

Just when you thought things couldn't get an weirder they do. What would you do if your partner filed for divorce and asked that you that he wanted half of everything, including the house? Would you "saw" your house in half? I'm serious,.......apparently it's possible. MSN listed an article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27113959/?GT1=43001) in which a marriage is terminated and the husband wants the house divided in two,..he actually wanted the house sawed. The funny thing is that the wife allowed this. Yea he wanted her to go through a bad situation. Now I'm wondering who got the bathroom........

It's raining dollars......

I think that almost everyone can agree that everyone is going through money issues. I mean foreclosures have skyrocketed and real estate has decreased. I just can't understand how some people are losing their homes, facing eviction, can't pay their light or phone bills and yet somehow have money to spend on the latest gadgets. I mean let's be serious. My son isn't old enough to "want" the latest toys or video games. I've seen parents that are so behind on their bills yet their child has a wii. Yeah a wii, and a Nintendo DS, etc. Where are they finding money to buy those things and yet not use it to pay for their necessities.? That sad thing is the effect these folks are causing among other children. "So and so has the latest games so I want one too",.....I don't blame those kids they need to "fit in" with their peers. Where is it raining dollars because I'd sure like to put away the umbrella and get soaked!
