How to Spend a Saturday When I Am Broke?


I can't really say I'm broke because I still have a few dollars to help pay my health insurance, and rent to the bank and the government for both my car and my very small and crappy apartment.  But I can see how just anyone can easily become broke by paying health insurance alone.  I'm currently paying over $450 just to keep the health plan I used to have with my former employer, under the COBRA law which was set up to insure those who temporarily lost their jobs or in transition from one job to another.  

If only my former employer had let me know exactly how much it had been paying for my health insurance, I probably wouldn't have the courage to quit my job.  Yeah, it's easy to say that regret is a waste of time.  But I can't help it.  I'm not a doll in a game.  I'm human and I can't rid of my  human weakness of feeling regretful.  I'm seeking for a cheaper alternative to my current health plan.  I never knew how to do this because I always had health insurance which was always paid for by my college or my former job so I never thought about it.  I heard about the unhappy uproar on news about healthcare.  I just never knew what it was really about.  But I'm learning about it now... 

In a state of paranoia of  becoming broke, I'm actually fearful of going out on the weekends.  The fear of spending more gas and money by leaving the apartment is so great that I resort to playing the online Stardoll game again.  If I can't go out and have fun, I may as well play a game which I can help my doll earn some game rewards or Star coins by dressing up a celebrity.   It's not real money, but it's something that can help me keep playing the game for free for now, until I'm running out of the free Star coins....

I Want To Declutter, One Magazine At A Time

Hi, I recently quit my job to pursue my dream of becoming a writer, I'm currently living on my own tiny savings and paying to keep my former job's health insurance plan under COBRA.  I never realized my former employer paid over $450 a month for my health plan, until I quit my job and I am paying for the same plan  myself.  I'm starting to worry about running out of money.  I am therefore selling things from my tiny apartment like the following magazine for $0.01, hoping to downsize and also help to pay for my health insurance.  When you buy this magazine, not only will you help me pay for my COBRA health insurance, you will also help the environment by reducing waste in landfills. This magazine is like new and is in very good condition, it has a subscription address label though. If you are a fan of Hollywood celebrities news, or if you are a magazine collector, or if you are a writer looking for inspiration to create your characters, or if you are a crafter who i

Am I The Only One Who Sometimes Wishes To Be The Child Of Another

To my mother, MJ this Mother's Day!! You are everything!! #MothersDay pic.twitter.com/zK7XJNUBJl — Kris Jenner (@KrisJenner) May 14, 2017 I'm not really a fan of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.  I only watched a few episodes here and there when I was visiting my friends because I cut the cable TV to save money several years ago.  It's hard to not know who the Kardashians are when they are constantly on the magazines covers at the grocery stores check-out counters. As much as I don't really care to keep up with the Kardashians, I often secretly wish that Kris Jenner could be my mother because I think she is quite pretty and she makes pretty children.  Seriously, without her, none of her daugthers would have been where they are today, in terms of fame and fortune.

Such A Sad Morning

It's really sad to have to wake up to the news of yet another senseless tragedy. I can't find words to express my sadness.  Yes, I can feel the pain of the victims' family because I had dreamed about the death of my siblings, and my parents over and over; and in such dreams, I cried my heart out until I felt as if I was suffering from a heart attack and I woke up with tears.  It felt so painful even in a dream when my heart felt like it was being torn apart into pieces. It always took me a couple minutes after I woke up before I could calm myself down and realize it was just a dream. But for those who lost their loved ones last night for real,  I hope they will somehow find peace again.
