5 to the 8 MEME, PF-style

April 30th, 2008

I was tagged by Debt Fighter, who centered her answers around PF, and I’ll try to do the same:

What was I doing 5 years ago?

Finishing my junior year of college, I was living in the middle of nowhere, so my spending was relegated to Wal-Mart and the campus coffee shop. Good thing, since I wasn’t working and was graciously supported by my great parents. I didn’t have any debt, and I was living on little, but finances were the farthest thing from my mind. Silently, without my notice, my little stock portfolio was steadily increasingly.

Five things on my to-do list today ( or things I did today):
1. Praised God for beautiful weather, good nights of sleep, springtime and friends (all free, incidentally)
2. Talked myself out of coming home early, even though I felt sick all day: I’m not made of vacation days, after all
3. Heard about a friend who’s being transferred against her wishes, after being with her company for 10+ years
4. Checked my online back accounts and realized I overdrew on my extra account. *blushes* $30 down the drain.
5. Flipped through the latest Kiplinger’s

Five snacks I love, regardless of cost or nutritional value :
1. Dunkin Donuts decaf coffee (If I were made of money, I’d get it every day)
2. Buona Beef’s chicken pomodoro sandwich
3. Any and all bakery from any and all bakeries
4. Chocolate
5. Cheese and crackers

Five things I would do if I were a billionaire, assuming I had to spend it on me:
1. Own homes on both coasts and commute regularly.
2. Try a new restaurant every night.
3. Travel. Extensively.
4. Start my own business, knowing I wasn’t risking my future eating/sleeping probability.
5. Shop.

Five bad money habits I have:
1. Ordering lunch out with coworkers.
2. Fretting about my stock portfolio.
3. Wanting a condo outside my means.
4. Opting to eat out just because I feel like.
5. Overthinking spending.

Five (three) places I have lived:
1. Florida
2. Illinois
3. Wisconsin
4.
5.

Five jobs I’ve had:
1. Editor/Manager
2. Freelance reporter
3. Waitress
4. Secretary
5. Intern

Five PFers I am tagging:
1.The Writer’s Coin
2. Quarter-Life Finances
3. Kim’s Kitchen Sink
4. On the Home Front
5. Full-Grown Single
