Saving more and Earning less


I don't know know about you but I am sick and tired with Banks being deceitful in their advertising. Eg: A certain Bank advertised, open a high interest account with us and receive 8.10% on your savings, if you already have an account we will give you 8.10% for every dollar you bank from the start of this promotional period. Sounds good. I later discover the catch...in the 6point print at the very bottom of a very long page its continues..if you have had an account with us prior to June 2008 this offer does not apply...Gotcha!


Here is another


an offer of 7.51% if you invest in a term deposit for 5months. sounds good. for the sake of this blog according to the banks calculator I should receive $2009 interest for this period...I agree and join up.. on receiving the details after the account is set up. It states my interest on maturity would be $2000.. not much of a difference not enough to bother to complain about....you agree...


Imagine how many customers are being ripped off $9.00 on their investment. 1000 clients 10,000 clients maybe 200,000 clients I think you can see where this is heading.

$9 x 200,000 = $1,800,000... I wonder if I could get away with doing that...


MAKES ME SO BLOODY ANGRY

MY HUSBAND GIVES ME THE BLUES

What do you do when your husband thinks close enough is good enough, when it really isn't.

I like everything to be neat and tidy, a place for everything and everything in it's place. I just can't tolerate chaos. I think Martha Stewart gave me up for adoption at birth. I am slowly but surely getting to the point where I can't do things for myself. Having to rely on my darling hubby for allot of things. He didn't deserve me that's for sure.

Mowing the yard is something I used to do. Now my husband does it. But when he mows it looks like someone with a very bad hair cut, weeds sticking up here and there and everywhere. Almost like he is mowing with a blind fold on......Arrgh..every time he go's to use the mower its broken,the edger broken.blower that's right broken...always a major chore...

I have watched him vacuum the carpet with much the same result, he vacuums around pieces of cotton laying on the carpet. I know I sound ungrateful, and I hate that about myself. But is it to much to ask if your going to do something, you would do well, not just to say well that's done for another month... that's right month. How am I going to get used to this new life.

Don't get me wrong I do allot when you consider my situation, wheelchair bound is the hardest thing to get used to, when you were independent. No one should have to live this way...it's a hell of a cruel joke...

The only solution I think is to get a gardener, because gardening is harder than house keeping. Then at least the house will look more inviting. I would rather pay someone to do the yard, as I can eventually get the house clean.

my bitch for today...thanks for listening
