Friday Frustration!

I need help today finding something to complain about…anyone care to indulge?

Tell me what you’re frustrated about because I’m tapped out. I’m actually having a pretty good morning. Talk to me later, that might change. ;)

What’s frustrating you?

Childish Misunderstandings About Money

What early (before you were 10 years old) ideas did you have about money or finance that turned out to be totally (and amusingly) wrong?

I saw this meme and thought I’d pick it up and spread it. And now I’m curious. I’m changing the rules up a little though, this meme is a self contained meme in that your being tagged, simply calls for a response. :)

I made it easy for ya - no posting on your own blog, just a comment here because I want to know.

So please indulge me, inquiring minds want to know, so I’m tagging…

DCR who recently posted Free Tips for Separating People From Their Money.

Geoff at Can’t Get Rich, who plugs your site for free.

CardioGirl who has been recently down memory lane.

JD who makes lists so that we don’t have to.

That’s all for now, I may come back and add a few later today. I want to know what financial epiphanies you all had. Thanks for playing!

Friday Frustrations

It’s short and sweet today folks, I have had a frantic week…So let’s get after it shall we? This week I’ve been frustrated about…

The delay in getting serious with my home business. A close friend recently reminded me that the only thing stopping me is myself.

My lack of ideas for a company name so that I can then print business cards and create a website for sales with more than just my name. This is a necessary step to add credibility and believability to my business. I even have friend willing to give out my cards to other real estate agents to further my business plans.

Having to live by the alarm clock. I’m so tired of waking up to that shrieking alarm clock and am getting serious about ending that slavery and working at home.

What are you frustrated about?

A Made Up “Holiday”

It’s the big day everyone. I had a post planned to help you with last minute preparations and to pull off a hero’s Valentine’s celebration. But then I decided to let you do that and I’d talk to you about the commercialization of the “holiday” and why I think it sucks.

Valentine’s Day is merely a commercial holiday. Let’s think about this whole pretense of love we’re expressing here. Update* for the short version of the history of Valentine’s Day, see Mike’s comment below*.

Not to mention, since Christmas I’ve been seeing Valentine’s decorations. I’m tired of pink. I’m tired of the Jared’s commercials and the dumb Valentine references and the special food that comes out during this time at big chain restaurants. I am tired of being told during every commercial break that I should expect my significant other to buy me something today because they said so. I don’t feel like it’s a special day. I’m tired of the hype.

Maybe I’m cranky over trade talks but I don’t want to hear anymore about Valentine’s Day. Thankfully, tomorrow is not Valentine’s and we have 364 days until another one pops up.

But presidents day is coming and I’m already hearing about sales. How ’bout a sale just because? How about a commercial about how much time your company donates to charity, and money?

Stop boring me with a made up holiday.
