Some people love renovating their houses during these months. It is probably because it is also on these months when we get a lot of guests in the house. Or maybe it is also the months when we receive our yearly bonuses. Whatever the reason, it does not hurt to do some home improvements anyway.

My neighbors usually do a garage sale during these times. Actually, the sale started just this morning. I was the first in line of course. You know me, I love sale! Anyhow, one of my neighbors is selling their contemporary furniture for an insanely low price. I love these furniture because they are never out of fashion. Furniture like these can make a living room feel cozy, the same feeling you have when visiting grandparents and relatives. They reserved them for me and I still have until tomorrow to decide if I will get them.

I went online to get their actual price and they are quite expensive. So I have decided to take ‘em. Best thing about the furniture I am getting is, they were only slightly used and they are only a year old.

I’ve had it with taxes. I know a good citizen should pay taxes but hey! I work for my family and not for the whole country! Sigh. Pardon the ranting. I guess I just need to vent out a little. Last month I got the salary increase that I have been patiently waiting since last year. I was not able to get an increase last year because of some financial issues in the company. But now that the economy is stable, my boss finally gave us a raise.

However, when I got my payslip, I realized that my taxes went up as well. I never expected my tax to go this much but this is reality. So now, I have decided. I want to get out of the rat race (see Robert Kiyosaki). I will set up my plan to become financially independent. Well independent in terms of taxes and stuff. And first on my list is to train in sales. I think I have good experience with this from my previous sales career but I need to brush up with my skills. The sales business really is the way to becoming rich. However it takes years of patience and hard work to achieve this. I am still young so I guess it is never to late for me to start.

Calling all shop-a-holics! Get ready with your Paypal passwords ‘coz now is the best time to buy online in buy.com! Don’t be surprised to see items with just half the original price. They are really giving away a shopping spree for this month. Unfortunately, the sale is only until supplies last.

Just take a look at their weekly deals! Everything is almost half the price already. Actually, right now I am about to check out my cart. I bought a 22 inch Samsung LCD Monitor for just 139.00 bucks. Honestly, I have no use for it yet. Just thought that it can be handy once I get my Netbook repaired.

Anyhow, there are plenty of gadgets to choose from. I hope you guys find what you are looking for. Just a tip: If you find items which are insanely cheap, go buy them! Even if you do not intend to use them right away. Kidding
