Furlough Helping Agencies Sheet

Here is some information to help if you are being Furloughed.

Boys and Girls Club

 
If you are looking for another alternative to take your kids during the summer while you are at work, you can take them to the Boys and Girls Club. Each location is different, but many only charge a $50 yearly membership fee and you pay $400 dollars for the entire summer or monthly for two children. Depending on income, your child could go for free. If you are military, its free at some locations. This is still cheaper than most daycares, YMCA etc. Please contact the location where you want your child to go to gather more information. This is just a tip to get your started in the right direction to save money during the summer. Click the image for more information. Until next time.. 🙂

 

 

Looking for local groups to join to network..

So I found out that if you go to www.meetup.com

You can find groups in the local area that have some of the same interest like you for example, if you are a big Golf Lover, they have a Golf Group, or a big Hiking lover, they have a Hiking Group. If you like reading, they have a Readers Group, a Coffee Group, Real Estate Investment Group. It’s amazing. I will be signing up for my Group of choice. This will help you to build relationships, network, grow and step outside of your BOX. 🙂 For those that work on Ft. Sam Houston, BAMC has a group for Active Duty spouses and Retirees, its called BAMC Auxillary. Check it out!!

Hope this information was valuable!! As always Enjoy!!

If you do not live in the local area, you can put in your zipcode to find groups in your city or state.

Until next time… 😉

Save $$ on Your Cable Bill

Ok, so are you tired of paying between $150-$250 dollars in cable bills. Well there is a way to save money. (Note: This idea may seem not so good to some, but thats ok. You will never know if something will work unless you get out there and try it. So be encourgaged and have the confidence to step out and be different) 🙂

So let me break it down for you.. The average family pays $150 a month. x 12 that is $1800 a year. WOW, do you know what you could be doing with that amount of money. ALOT!!

So if you purchase the Apple TV or Roku for those non Apple Fans, its $99 dollars at Best Buy (one time purchase meaning you pay one time and thats it, you will need one for each TV you have in your house, and it is well worth it) I have already purchased two Apple TV’s (I’m a APPLE FAN!!). You can watch all your favorite shows through Hulu or Netflix or whichever you choose for $7 dollar a month (dont’ quote me on that check the website to be safe.) You will still need internet so that you can access the subscription so your internet bill is aprox. $25 dollars or $20 if you have the lowest speed. So $20+$7 = $27 dollars a month x 12 = $324 a year. That is a savings of  $1476 a year. That could pay a bill or, pay off debt, go into savings, pay for a family vacation, the skys the limit.

See this chart below showing how much you spend each year, and what you can save:

For the local news channels just get a box from Radioshack. You know the bunny ears just so you can stay up to date on the weather.

This is definitely worth trying, what do you have to loose. I have purchased 2 Apple TV’s and I am ready to go!! We will save tons just from making this change. I have a co worker who already has the Apple TV and oh she LOVES it and has saved a lot of money. The Goal is to save, now for those of you who love SPORTS, I know Texas a  HUGE Sport State, ESPN you say… looking for a solution for that. But until then try this out and if you don’t like it you can always get your cable turned back on. But let me tell you once you switch, you will not want to go back.
