Tax time is coming sooner than we think. The good news is that because the dreaded 15th of April lands on a weekend, we'll have until the 17th to file. The bad news is that we still have to file. But money may already be on your mind, and I thought now would be the perfect time to ask some questions on the subject!
Last week, it was Nichole of "My Two Cents" made it a three-peat, becoming the first to play last week for the three consecutive weeks in a row! Is this the week that she breaks the all-time record and becomes the first to be "first to play" for four weeks running?
Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. How often do you clip coupons from the newspaper or mail inserts?
Not often. They helped a great deal during the recessions of the 80's while raising kids to help stretch too few dollars to cover too many needs.
2. You buy something that contains a mail-in rebate: how likely are you to take the time to fill out and mail the application (with appropriate receipts) to actually get the rebate mailed to you?
There's about a 1::3 chance I'll actually send in the rebate form.
3. How many credit cards do you have right now that have a zero balance?
None. Then again, I don't have any credit cards...
4. Take the quiz: Are you good with money?
Without looking at the quiz, no. I'm horrible with money. The quiz seems to think I'm OK, but it has inherantly false assumptions about me in the bias of the questions, so it has no choice but be wrong.
Took the quiz. Surprise. It's wrong – says I'm OK with money.
NOT!
5. What is the most expensive thing you purchased in the last week?
Kerosene. Almost as bad a a mild crack habit – only warmer.
6. On a scale of one to ten, with ten meaning that it was something you needed badly and urgently, how much did you really need this particular item? Well, son, it's like this. No kero – no life. You can't burn snowballs and burning junk cars only gets you in trouble with the DEP.
