Spring Break

College is taking a short break, so I'm going out to find a job and build my computer. Money is important anyway and so many of my friends lost their jobs as well. Just make sure that you do have money or else it will be impossible to buy the necessities for survival.

No job equals no spending

I haven't worked much this month due to job hunting and still coming up empty. Christmas wasn't any good and New Year might be even worse. I'm getting desperate for money now, so I might end up enlisting in the military. I don't care what anyone else says, I need money really bad and what they offer seems to better than what I earned this month. Benefits and paid college tuition are great bonuses as well. It's time that I start out on my own even if it costs me my own life. All I ever live up to now is abuse and torment, not spreading out happiness and hope to others.

Buying components for new PC build

Finals are over and I'm out of work, but now I'm going to build a new PC to replace my 5 year old HP. The only parts I have gotten so far are the case and PSU, but there are many more parts to buy along the way. Might as well go t my local Fry's Friday and see if there are any good deals coming out. Guess I'll have to be cheap from now on since I am out of work. Being a temp. worker isn't that great when your annual income is below $10k. I'm not even sure anyone is hiring in Georgia since there are so many job seekers working for just about any job as long as it is stable.

Studying for finals

Classes are over and I am going to study for my finals. I have only two finals but they are spread apart by about a week. Statistics is the much harder one due to writing out long answers to the problems. Management information systems is much easier but no multiple choice, just matching, short answer, and some diagrams. I'm not that concrete and factual when it comes to math and science. I can't wait when its over that I get back to work to make some money for buying computer components for my new PC.

Seasons greetings

With Black Friday over and Cyber Monday approaching, I can't help but wonder if people are going to be shopping for gifts or still be saving money. My parents have already bought a washer/dryer combo from Samsung for $1000 USD, which is $750 less than the original prices. As for me, I'm trying to save up some money for building my new computer. I still don't have the parts yet, but I'm browsing all over the Web for great bargains. eBay is a great auction site to get components at low prices, but you buy them as is unless they are completely new. People want to save money since jobs are disappearing constantly. Let's hope the holidays in December are much more promising.

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and people will either be out traveling or shopping. I'm currently taking the latter as I have no interest in traveling. This year I'm shopping for PC components, as I'm going to build my own PC. Budget is limited around $1000 USD as I make less than $10K a year. Pretty sad when it does not even cover the bills and college tuition. I wanted to finish college so I can rework the way businesses are being run. With Obama as the new President, he is going to need all the help he can get to undo what Bush did to us during these last eight years. People want a brighter future, not a bleak future where the rich reigned supreme and everybody else suffers. Change is necessary, but it will be slow for these next four years.

Weak economy and deflation

With all of this talk about slashing prices and big discounts, you thought it would be a great deal. No one is buying anyway because the US economy is weakened. All it took was one person to cause all of this: the President of the United States. Our so called leader does not know how to care for his own people and the backlash he created has an impact on the world, triggering a worldwide recession. If you want your money being pumped in, then you got to have people willing to spend. Obviously, no one is spending for the upcoming holiday season. Instead, people will be spending their money online between other users so as to avoid taxes. You can get much better deals anyway than any retail store, but you get the item as is. Auction sites and classified ads like Craig's list seem to benefit from users like us as well. Deflation is like very low prices and huge discounts, but no one is buying at all. I might as well save my money for online shopping if there are great bargains at huge discounts.
