After playing Spent I learned a lot from that game but, I know that there were ways around what that game simulated because I've been in that situation before; I have learned what to do to save money and spend less on food such as buying pasta and ramen noodles to fill me up. Since there is a three part series entitled :101 ways of cooking Ramen Noodles" I do believe that is a great investment other than Larry the Cable Guy Dinners because that has too much sodium for my liking. In addition the game taught me how to better manage my money for future spending and, what was funny is that I received my retirement information in the mail today; my mother stated that I won't be able to retire way things are going on right now. True I will never be able to retire no matter how much I try because the government is in debt as well as the rest of the world so, retirement is the last thing on my mind so, I will die before I am even able to retire.
I decided to put down $100 as a deposit for a Certified Nursing Assistant Class then wait for my next paycheck to make the full payment of $150 which brings out the total amount to $250 and, then wait for my next paycheck for the $101 to take the Board Certification exam in order to obtain employment with a facility as a full time Certified Nursing Assistant. Now the starting rate I know for my area is between $9 to $11 an hour so, 40 hours a week may help out the financial situation a lot because I can better support my family as well as keep my head above water during these trouble times so, the class may help out a lot plus I get a free lunch that is included in the bill so, we'll see how this turns out for me.
Second I have made the decision that I am not going to be dependent on someone else to get me to work because I had a rude wake up call since my mother allowed my brother to take the car and, I was on call for work today but, luckily I did not have to go in. That would have been a major problem but, to get back at her for doing that I am going to make it seem that its a big deal so, I am going to carefully plan out the process because she thinks she's helping by doing things like that. She is but, that was truly uncall for so, it does serve her right somewhat.
Third I decided that I was going to get a second hand car so, with the money that I get with whatever Certified Nursing Assistant job that I get, I am going to save at least a month and a half's pay to buy me a car so, that I can get back and forth to work on time and, then save another month and a half's pay to buy a truck so, that my mother will have something to drive because she has been talking for a long time that she wanted a truck so, why not be nice for mom and give her what she wants.
However I might get me a truck as well just to piss my brother off because he believes that he is entitled to many things just because he is the man of the house yet, he refuses to go out here and find work with reasonable hours that he can do so, getting a truck for me as well as my mom will make him see that he needs to get off his butt. I am trying to figure out what kind of truck is nice enough to make him want to go out and find a job so, that he can start making money to have nice things such as mom and myself. I guess if my mother had a Jeep Cherokee and I had a Hyundai Sante Fe then that would make him go out and find a job instead of staying home and playing around.
If I don't get the Sante Fe then my next choice would be a Kia Sportage because those are nice cars to have as well but, I don't think that I would be sharing my truck with my mother too much because it would be in my name and, I would be the one taking care of it at all times so, that is another reason why I've decided to go ahead and get a second job. In addition this could help me to see what she had to go through during these years of working a Temp Job and, trying to make ends meet since she lost her job because of poor association.
I hope that this class works out for me and, that I can go ahead and get my certification before the new year so, I can show off my new truck or car whatever sale comes first.
