Money Matters

Show of hands from those that have debt *raises hand*

If you watch the YouTube channel you know that I made two New Year's resolutions. Well, I'm adding a third. I am going on a money journey guys and you're coming with me.

I joined this site yesterday called DailyWorth and it got me inspired to do something to better my financial situation. I just had a conversation with my dad the other day talking about how I know the right things to do, but I just don't do them. This is going to end.

For a quick background on me, I'm a stay at home mom. I have been since October 2010 but before that worked and did my own thing. I now make side money on Ebay and with surveys/ focus groups. It's not much but enough for me to buy groceries and anything for my son. I am married, but being the type of person I am I don't like being dependant financially on anyone else.

Penny Auction 101

I'm sure a few of you have heard of penny auctions. Well about a month ago, I decided to try it out and see what comes from it. I will say that it is not as easy as the commercials make it sound. Although, if you put the time in to learn, it just like the basics of couponing lol. There's etiquette, math, and saving money!

So first let's go through the basics of what a penny auction is. There are many out there and each has their own rules or special auctions. I'm not going to go into that here since you can read about those on their sites if you want. I'll explain the basics...

1. Register. Sign up on the site and READ the Terms of Service.

2. Buy a Bid pack. Some places give a few free bids for you to start with, but if you like a site you will eventually buy a pack. You will use these bids to bid on your item of choice. Bids tend to cost around .50 to .60 and can range from 50 all the way up to 1000 in a pack. For example, if you decide to buy a bid pack of 50 and they cost .50 each then you will pay $25 for it.
