Latest and Greatest from the Southern California girl
Hello beautiful people! Long time, no post, I know =). The new year has brought in the good and the bad already, mostly bad to be honest, but I'm hoping that means the rest of the year holds good in store for me, 'cause I don't think I can take much more bad!
Good:
1) Job going really well, now that I'm working. Though I have yet to see whether I'll be making enough money to pay the bills. But -- still good.
2) Marc and Janice got engaged and let me be a part of that moment.
3) Janice asked me to be her Maid of Honor.
Bad:
1) Visa fucked up, and I had a HUGE reversal on my account.
2) Said account still majorly overdrawn as a result, though a paycheck has already gone in, as well as all my rolled coin.
3) If my account doesn't become positive soon, it might very well close, which means I can't open any account at any bank for 3-5 years.
4) Someone I thought was a friend leaving me to hang high and dry on a bill without word or note as to whether they would resolve the issue, or just say, will do, but can't right now, here's why. Thus, I'm playing catch up, can't pay the people I owe, and I feel like I just got fucked over majorly. Maybe I'm being unfair, but that's what happens when I don't know what else to think.
So I guess right now, the good and bad weigh out, though the bad is making more of an impact on my immediate life I suppose, which is why it's depressing me. It's just so frustrating, because I thought the move back home would be a good one -- a smart one. Living at home rent free until I found work, finding work, bam! Financial freedom. Obviously not overnight, but it seems that bad luck and things coming my way, hurdles if you will, just seem to hit all at once, instead of in a staggered line so I can at least recover some. Needless to say, right now I feel like a 1) loser 2) complete failure 3) screw up ... do you get the point? Everytime I try and get on my feet, move a little on the road forward, I get hit by a MAC truck. Fuckin' a, man!
But, back to the positive --- work!
If anyone is interested in opening anything or learning about accounts available to them for checking, savings, investments of any kind, please let me know. My bank is offering many promotions, especially with CD (certificate of deposit) accounts. Also, it helps me financially, to be up front, if I make a referral to a bank that turns into an account. If you're interested, and wouldn't mind going through me, my bank can fed ex all necessary paperwork to be signed to you =).
I currently have a Gold Checking Account with Washington Mutual. I started with Free Checking. I eventually (in the future) plan on opening CDs and other investment accounts with them. I started banking with WaMu when I was 18, and I've never regretted it.
Here's a small list of things we offer:
Checking Accounts
Savings Accounts
Certificate of Deposit Accounts
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (for those of you with children)
Money Market Accounts
IRAs
We also have a service (WM Financial Services) that does things like annuities, life insurance and other such items.
So... my shameless self promotion almost done, please feel free to email me at christina.michaud@wamu.net if you're interested, or call my cell (310)387-7715. Ok, now it's done.
On to look to the future. My 24th birthday in February. Tahoe for my birthday. Possibly my last tattoo that same weekend that I go to Tahoe. Germany in May. And in the futher future - Marc & Janice's wedding in June 2007.
Ok, time to go find something to do. Leave a comment, even if it's to say hi =).
To quote my brother, "Peace, Love, and Sex Grease."
