Making financial decisions work

So today the iPhone and me are at the library for internet connection and need to stop staring at the walls at the apartment.  My monthly spending is doubled right now due to gas costs as it has effected everyone.    To purchase a newer car with better gas milage costs are not putting me in a advantage either from adding a car payment and a newer car would increase my insurance premium.  This also does not count the upfront costs of purchasing a car of a downpayment, 2-3 insurance premiums upfront, tags and sales tax upfront would strain my other bills at this time and would force to play catch up for the next following months.

Mind you, I have no cable or internet connection at home or other extra luxuries like that.  In my life time I do not see myself getting cable or satellite because TV is so pathetic.  My hats off to Netflix, Amazon streaming to establishing videos on demand.  They are starting to say goodbye to the pathetic TV and cable networks that give you nothing but reruns, cheesy advertising and corporate control news coverage.

 I am assisting my son to go to college and it is very important I do that.  Work is not giving out much overtime like they usually do but glad I do have full time employment with benefits.  I am proud that I do not use and I  forbid the use of credit cards to "make ends meet".

So, the solution is join everyone else and just make it work.
