LOTS OF CHANGES! AND FINALLY, A SILVER LINING!

JULY 17TH 2015!!!

Keep that date in mind as you read and I'll let you know why later.

First I started this blog and then I got rid of my bank account. Since then, 3 more people that I know of have gotten rid of their bank accounts as well. Although they are new at it, I know they watch this blog to gage how I'm doing.


In hard times, you can rearrange 
your budget to keep 
more of your money and invest
what you manage to save
OH NO!!!   I QUIT MY JOB!!!

My next big move was to quit my job. I found that by rearranging my budget, I actually keep more money without a job. I manage  to keep about 300 extra dollars a month by not working! Now I'm taking the money I save and I'm starting to day trade stocks. Back in 2004, I started day trading and with that money I moved to Vermont, USA in 2008 and in 2009 I opened a small souvenir shop on the Main Street (something I've always dreamed of doing). 

DAY TRADING; A NEW START

So I've started again with my trading. I've been ignoring my remaining stocks which included Facebook (which increased by $50 a share since I've bought it!), so I've lost all of my Real Estate Stocks. Right now, I can't take any money out of the account, I can only trade due to the type of account I have so I plan to add money to the account and day trade. 

Some of my other businesses I've not begun yet because I'm focusing on getting my singer to Chicago for her CD recording.  I'm gonna put a link at the bottom of this post for those who'd like to donate to her Go Fund Me Campaign. 


Fruit is very inexpensive
But back to my rearranging my budget to keep more money than I spend, that helped me so much and I encourage anyone who  hasn't done this already, to start doing so now. 

Sometimes we work so hard to make MORE money that we don't realize how much we're spending just to keep a job. Most of my money that I made was being used to keep the job that I had. Since it was in retail, they cut your hours whenever they didn't have enough hours to give. So many employees are hurting! 

A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE


4 pounds (1 kilo)  for $1.50 USD
So as of today, I'm living better, eating better and (healthier), and my stress level is way down.  I'm finally learning to enjoy life. After I return from Chicago with my singer, I plan to take golf lessons and take advantage of the horse stables we have down here that allow us to ride on the beach for only $5 per hour USD, and it's located about 2 miles away from my beach front flat.

THE SILVER LINING

Now why did I ask you to remember the date of JULY 17, 2015? Because that was the day I decided to get rid of my bank account, remember? Here is a chronological update. August was stressful, disorganized, and I wondered if I'd done  the right thing. 

Now, in September, things are starting to get better.  I did a month's worth of incidentals and grocery shopping and
caught up with my bills. I even for paid part of the Chicago trip for me and my singer.  I'm still about $200 short but, if I could have raised the money to take her and not had to use my own money, I'd be in the black money-wise.  We're still trying to raise the funds with the Go Fund Me Campaign. I'll let you know what happens.

Well, that's my update for now.  I'm quite content with how things are turning out.
