Sabrina’s Money Matters

A real vacation, complete with hotel, no sales pitches and free tickets to attractions around the city. Did you miss a honeymoon? Take advantage of this opportunity to win a FREE Fall Getaway! You can always take that money you’ve been saving for a vacation and extend the free one.

Never won a free vacation huh? Well here’s your chance…Register here for your FREE Raleigh Getaway and you could win. How could I not tell you guys about this?

They have Trace Adkins in Concert this Fall who you might remember from songs like, “Hot Mama” and “Girls Love Country Boys”.

Another concert featuring three of my favorite bands Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin with special guests Seether & Skillet, ironically I have the entire CD collection of each of those bands, except Skillet (never heard of them)…this is a do not miss concert for Metal fans…y’all didn’t know that until now, yes indeed I’m a rocker, but I dig all other music as well. I’m eclectic, much like Raleigh, North Carolina.

Let us not forget to mention that there’s an awesome new display at the Museum of Natural Sciences called Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries. I’m really digging that, lol! (Pun intended.)

Here’s what you WIN with this FREE VACATION:

-One night accommodations for two at the Courtyard by Marriott Raleigh Crabtree Valley
-$25 gift certificate to Bloomsbury Bistro

That Rum Runners VIP admission sounds promising!

So don’t miss out on this chance to win a free vacation. I know I’m not going to!

So we all like free stuff, that’s easy. We all click on “FREE” quicker than a dollar sign with a number after it. Naturally.

So let me give you a peek at what you’ll get with Google Pack, there are a grand total of 14 programs for your use!

Sneak Peek:

Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar - I downloaded this about two months ago and there’s no going back for me. The pages load faster than with Internet Explorer, my information is more secure and there are all kinds of things you can add to Firefox. IE doesn’t have that many options.

Google Earth - I use this for everything I need to find, I fire it up, type in food, and it finds local restaurants. I type in grocery, Google Earth finds me grocery stores. So handy…..and free.

Picasa - A photo organizer with functionality very similar to Photoshop and incredibly easy to use, you can organize your photos in multiple folders and set up screensavers as well with another program in the pack (you have to download to see)….and free.

Adobe Reader - Very handy to have, lots of PDF files on the internet, you’ll need this for those files, you can also use it to secure your own documents. Very useful and good for document security….and it’s……free!

RealPlayer - Organize music, video and MP3 files, transfer music to your MP3 player or Ipod. I use this program all the time, I have more music than my MP3 player holds, so I shuffle it around weekly, this is a great program with real ease of use….and it’s free.

Skype: Voice, video and chat. Make free voice and video calls to anyone else on Skype. Since it’s free, get everyone to download the pack and you can all chat for free. Cell phone minutes? No need! You can also call landlines and mobile phones, so it’s available to call anyone you need….and it’s free!

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition - This is not the only real jewel, they all are, but this kind of program is a must, you’ll have to download the pack to see the rest, but let me say….you’ll be very glad you did.

You can never go wrong with software that is web based, mainly because you can access it from anywhere with an internet connection. You can use Google Documents and Spreadsheets for all your documents and storage. Personal computing is more mobile now than it ever was, and there’s no indication of that stopping.

Did I mention it’s all FREE? And there are 7 more programs that I did not mention.

There are two websites I read daily, sometimes I’ll miss a day but I don’t leave a post unread. Those two are DailyTelecommuter.com and I’veTriedThat.com.

Daily Telecommuter.com is self explanatory, but I’ll tell you why I like it so much. I’ve been reading since last year, corresponded with Steve, guest posted on the old domain SaveAndMake.com, I was even a moderator. It’s unique and extraordinary. I can’t help but get behind that kind of mission.

Sabrina’s Money Matters has featured articles talking about creating sidelines, multiple streams of income. Whatever you call this extra security, you could not find a more direct link to the opportunities available. A daily dose of legitimate work at home job listings, in many different fields of work. Recently Steve has been posting twice a day, seems taking a vacation directly after moving proves beneficial for the energy of a person. You can’t miss when you spend time at DailyTelecommuter.com, and the site is only expanding, so don’t miss any more and start reading today.

I’veTriedThat.com is one of my favorite sites on the web, Joe is hilarious! For me it’s like watching “Reno 911!” Joe makes all those SCAMMERS trying to sell you fraudulent work at home schemes look positively ridiculous. He uses aliases when he contacts these companies, actually pays for it if it isn’t an outright scam and reports everything that happens. It’s some of the most fun time I have on the internet. Every post has great hidden jokes and silly little comments. My favorite is, “Bunny Socks!”. You’ll see, lol.

I read them daily, and I’ve only ever briefly mentioned my two favorites sites before, but if you read my site, you can’t help but see how the three are related. Our common goal is to save you time, grief and money. What more could you ask for?

I was watching VH1 yesterday, the Top 20, lol. In the middle of a ten minute stretch of commercials I see one about FreeTriple3.com.

They boast offering you credit report information from “ALL THREE BUREAU’S!” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

So I wrote the name of the website down and decided I’d check it out when I got a second.

Today I got a second and here’s what I saw…

I kind of already knew what I would find, and sadly I was right.
Check it out…

Here’s a closeup…

So I decided to check out where the site comes from, how long it’s been up, etc.
The details are enlightening.

The summary is that the site has been active since January 2007, out of Omaha, Nebraska and registered through January 2010. Moderate investment of time there for your good old run of the mill, charge you for free information company.

Here’s a snippet of info on the site:
