Do you see what I see?

So let's take a look on the side bar and see what we have. It will be ever changing, so if you see a new link, check it out. No worries, I'm not going to send you to some spam site - hopefully it will be good stuff to help you reign in your money so it doesn't control you.

First is a link to Open Office. If you have Microsoft Office, you are all set. But face facts, that program is expensive!!! How about a free version of all those features - word processor, spreadsheet, slideshow - the whole kabang!? I like working my budget in Excel (yeah, that none existent budget), and you might too, so Open Office is your financial savior to a decent suite of office products. I do have M$ Office at home, but I have downloaded and installed Open Office so I can get a feel for it. I'll let you know what I think and how it works.

Next three links are to PDF copies of forms from the Good Sense handbook. If you haven't gone through Good Sense, I recommend it. My wife and I have gone through it twice and yet I still have fear!!! The course is honestly great - it's my personality that stops me from properly applying the skills on that budget..... until now.

Below that, in other links, we have first a link for the real, free credit report you are allowed to receive once a year. I won't even link to the one you see all over the TV and the radio. Don't use them. They make you sign up for this credit watch program, and I have heard horror stories trying to cancel it. Use this link and keep and eye on your credit. If not to help you as you honor God, but to protect yourself and your identity.

The last link...well... that's just pure stupidity on my part. But if you want a good laugh (I hope) and dare to walk around my mind, visit my other blog. Or don't. :)

But if you see something cool, tell me. I am always keen on new stuff that makes my life easier. I would love to pass it - full credit to you of course. I love links too. If you blog, lemme know.



Speaking of my budget, remember when I talked about getting on it this weekend? Ummm....yeah. Got a little busy with house cleaning. It's not done. I am hoping tonight. I just know that with the upcoming weeks, I need to MAKE time and get it setup. No more excuses.
