Spend Money Like a Student

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

How do you spend your money?  Even though I’ve been pulling in 3G’s per month from this blog, I still spend money like a student.  After studying nearly 5 years in college, I got used to living off as little as $400 dollars month.  Somehow though I earn money like a graduate, I spend money like a student.

Transportation
I don’t have a car.  I walk and ride my bike.  Take the train when I need to.  But, honestly somehow this works.  I don’t pay insurance, gas, or the normal wear and tear every car goes through.

Food
I like cooking.  The last time I was in a restaurant was two cheeseburgers at McDonalds when I was traveling.  I also drink a lot of mineral water.

Clothes
I’m a second hand shopper.  I’ve also gotten clothes direct from Thailand.  Like Walmart always says, Why Pay More?

Entertainment
I’ve got almost every form of entertainment I need on my pc.  Movies, sound system,Student Studying books, you name it, it’s either online or on already stored on my computer.  I don’t even have a cell phone.  I know it’s 2008, not 1971, but still using free voip online, I’ve managed to make calls and receive calls without paying a dime.

Why do I spend money like a student?  Well there is the fact that I do have $20,000 in loans to pay back from studying, but after living five years spending money like a student, I never saw a reason to change it, even after earning 5 times as much money.

Godaddy Hostage Situation: Suspended Godaddy Account

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

My Click for Nick Hosting was suspended by GoDaddy yesterday.

I recieved this email:”Our administrators have alerted us to a resource over-utilization issue.. It appears that your site has been causing a very high load on the server and this has adversely effected other customer accounts on the server. As such, we have had no choice but to suspend your hosting account “

It would have been nice to have a slight warning and a chance to correct the mistakes, rather than getting suspended immediately. Apparently I need a bigger server, lets just hope that by taking down a few of my websites, Godaddy won’t suspend my account again until I have time to switch to a deluxe account.

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Even though this spam email was sent to a web.de email adress I find it funny that these spam emailers thing that I anyone would believe that they had won 2 million dollars.  Taken the fact that even in the email they mispelled February, and they even represented MSN and Live as two seperate companies.  Since when are MSN and Yahoo teaming up to give away millions of dollars to random email addresses?
