Find tons of companies that hire workers from home!

Personnels?? LOL. Um, "personnel" is already plural. That and about a million other spelling and grammar errors. Smells like the old Nigerian scam to me.

Bwahahahahaha. Seriously. WHO in the WORLD would take an ad like this seriously? It's ridiculous. I can't believe anyone would fall for that after the first couple sentences.

Bottom line...use common sense, people! And if you don't see the problem with ads like this, you should seriously enroll in an English class.

....so little time. Seriously. This comes up all the time on message boards I read, and I see the postings on craigslist and job sites all the time. It's getting old and people should know better. But here we go again. If you see a "job" posting like this, IT IS A SCAM!

Why is this a scam, you ask? Well, this was my latest response on a message board:

For your $11.95, they'll tell you to post ads like you saw and scam others out of $11.95 to tell them to post ads like you saw and so on and so on. It's a bunch of bovine excrement and anyone who posts that crap should be ashamed of themselves.

Oh...and "please make your payment THROW Paypal"??? LMAO That's as bad as the people who want to hire work from home "mom's." Theres NO apostrophe in MOMS, people. The morons posting crap opportunities should have spent more time on basic English and grammar, then maybe they wouldn't have to scam people because they'd actually be qualified for a REAL job. Sheesh.

Scammers make me grumpy. Not that I've been personally scammed, but I see so many people out there who are desperate to make money. So desperate that they'll try almost anything. It's painfully apparent that many, many people are unaware of how things work in the real business world. It's obvious that there are folks out there who simply haven't had the benefit of a decent education and/or just don't have critical thinking skills.

Two kinds of people post ads like that. Scammers and the...how shall I put it...intellectually challenged. It's either people who don't care that it's a scam, don't care that they're taking some poor desperate mother's diaper money, or it's people who just are clueless and don't realize what a scam it is. There's no "position." It's not a job. It's not a legitimate way to earn money.

Don't fall for it. People who post that garbage should be strung up.

New Years resolutions are not something I've ever really participated in in the past, but I'm starting something new today. Perhaps not a New Years resolution, but starting a new habit to help me save. Every time we go to the store, we use the store card and coupons and the receipt always prints out a handy-dandy summary of the amount you saved. I decided that I'm actually going to SAVE it.

I have my Quickbooks all in order for the new year. Since I enter in my receipts and transactions every day, each time I have a savings from a coupon or discount, I'll transfer the funds into my savings account. I wonder how much I'll have in there at the end of the year. Today is a perfect day to start, seeing as it's New Years Day. My husband just came home with a store receipt with $10.73 in savings. I just used my online banking to transfer and entered it in Quickbooks. Yay!

If you haven't tried it, Quickbooks and Quicken are a great way to keep track of your finances. It makes things so simple and the reports you can create to see where you are spending are awesome. It's especially great to use Quickbooks if you have business income to keep track of.



I got so excited about my savings plan for the year, I started a blog about it. Check it out at My Frugal Year!

So, what's your resolution this year?
