Let the fun begin

Well the idiots in Albany NY really did it this time around.  I expect a huge fight from all the Tribes here in NY State.  I went thru it in 1997/98 and now it will start again.  As I say and my Mother told me do not go looking for trouble and you will be ok.  So now to sit back and wait and see what happends around here.  I refuse to run scared of anyone here in NY State.  Anyway now I realize of why I wanted to go cheaper in the first place.  With yesterday and today it was not good days anyway around here.  Then one of the mouches called here for a couple of packs of smokes from me.  Of course I told them all no once again around here.  I also put another 4 dollars back into the jar that I have here at the place.  I am keeping track of all of this to see how many times they do call and ask me for things around here.  It is adding up quickly of course.  I am amazed when the couple start asking and begging for money pluss cigarettes from myself and my husband around here.  It is like we are a money tree to them.  Well now I am saying no more often becuase I am still saveing and scremping around here.  This is one reason I went on the cheap side of things for the household another is to streach out the money that we do have coming in.  Not saying that we are flat broke are anything around here.  I am trying to pull back as much money as I can and still pay the bills that are coming into the can.  The couple that keeps asking for money and a few other things around here do not realize that they are putting a hurt on us also every time they get the 20 dollars or what ever else they ask for from us.  Pluss it gets old after awhile around here when they do not pay us back at the beginning of the month also.  At 30 dollars already that they owe us that is about a weeks worth of food for the can or about 3 weeks for the truck around here.  Here I am streaching out the money and have to get groceries without help from the system around here and the couple gets over 250 dollars in food stamps.  That is what is makeing me even mader around here.  What really gets me going is that here I am figureing out my bills and how much I can spend on groceries a month all in one lump some also around here and here the one couple is wasteing money and then haveing to barrow money from like 3 differant other people to make ends meet in thier place.  At 20 or more dollars a pop they are asking for and not realizeing that they have put the hurt on someone else also.  When I started figureing it all out around here and figured ok now this is what I want to do every time that they all ask for money and smokes from us I really wanted to see here in how much is really going out to them from my place.  My dear Hubby said to throw it in the one account and go from there.  I must have gave him a look that scared him also.  He realized that I had something else planned for it all also.  By the end of the month around here I want to see how much they are really asking for and I am keeping track of every time they ask and what dates around here also and the amount that they are asking for.  Now with that being said at this point in time I may come out on top around here and will be able to go places more often also after I get done here.  Also it is a good way to start seeing how much I can really pull back in little ways also around here.  I have been trying to cut back around here for years now and sometimes I get stopped by some folks who figure that I am a money pit.  So I will start really going to the cheap side around here and see where it all takes me and go from there also.  Now I am thinking with the coupons that I spend at the stores I will start throwing that moeny back also and see how much I can really get by the end of the year.  Now the NY State is going to be screwed along with other folks around here also and I am hopeing that I will start with shocking folks in what I can do to save money and go cheaper.  I am also going to try to quit smokeing also while I am in this mode of saveing money around here.
