“me” fund….
Posted on April 19, 2009 by MANIFEST ME! in Banking/Money/Finance, GeneralWhat is the 1st step in saving ….
It’s called paying yourself first! You pay all of your bills, but do you ever pay yourself first? Get yourself a “me” fund. Whether it be a prepaid visa or master card
a savings account or what ever. Get an account that is for the benefit for yourself. Take about 5% and pay yourself first. If you get your paycheck by direct deposit separate it and put it into a different account where you don’t see it.Most of the time if it is doesn’t end up in your hand it is easier to pay yourself. I did this…. I felt like I could not afford to pay myself. But I started putting at least 5% of my income per pay period for “me”. Now, my husband knows about my “me” fund. I don’t calculate my “me” fund into my income because I don’t want to consider it as money available for bills and etc.
So, the first step into building a savings account is get you “me” fund. Take atleast 5% of your income start building up your “me” fund. You deserve it right!

mon”How to” write a check
Posted on April 17, 2009 by MANIFEST ME! in Banking/Money/Finance, GeneralHow to write a check?
Well, while you may think checks are becoming obsolete, they are still in good use. Older people that are not familiar with check cards such as a visa or master debit card, continues to make good use of checks. While a younger person getting their first checking account may not know the first thing as to writing a check. Then you figure, why even get them if they use their debit check card? Well, I will tell you why…
I have met people that had no knowledge of a banking account and didn’t know how to write a check neither. Yes, they use their debit check card for everything. But, when it is time to make a rent payment, they run and get a money order because the office doesn’t accept Visa or Master, when all along they could have just taken out their check book and written a check. What I will tell you is that I have noticed that many convenient stores do not sell money orders anymore. So, what happen when you can’t get a money order and they don’t take cash or card? You write a check! (more…)

Paycheck to Paycheck
Posted on November 21, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralI took a poll today to find out how many people where actually doing well in this harsh economical system. It appears that a lot of people are very well financially stable. While they may not have thousands of dollars in the bank, they still have their homes. I think having their homes is the one thing that many are proud of. Not only having their homes, but also being able to have their bills paid. People may not have money to through away but most people were thankful for what they do have! Poll results will be posted soon
