Discovering what it takes to say "NO" to spending "YES" to saving

PROGRESS

Hello everyone! Welcome to Chicky Finance! I started this blog in mid January after reading several PF blogs; I got so motivated that I decided to share my "not so smart" mistakes and hope that someone else can learn from my miscalculations at the same time witness my journey of becoming debt free!

I love my Job!

What a week right? I know I disappeared as soon as the calendar hit Oct 1st. Good news is so far I am loving my job. If I can prove myself at this position, there is so much room to grow. I am doing stuff that I never done before so right now it is challenging and fun. Another thing is I have a room! When I left my previous company I was little worry that the new company might have put me in a cubicle. I was dead wrong, I have spacious room with nice furniture, glass doors, two computer screens. The day I started they gave me a blackberry with Verizon and of course they will pay it fully. Otherwise I wouldn’t take it at all. In fact I don’t understand people who pay for email service themselves but they say it is for work. If it is for work then company should pay. My colleagues seem very nice people. I went to lunch with one of girls. She seemed very friendly and funny even though she looks very quiet from outside This week was very much learning, learning, learning by asking thousands of questions. Next week is hopefully the time to shine and impress my manager!
Besides my new job, other important things are going right now. I have my very first client outside of my fulltime job. This subject deserves a post itself. I dont think I will make much money but I will end up with beautiful designer jewelries without paying a dime. Also my favorite CPA prep teacher, Roger Phillips, is doing favor for Chicky Finance readers who are accountants or students who wants to become a CPA. What is the favor? You gotta wait for next post for that! :)
