Why cash is better than a toaster

Remember when you got married and you got 4 toasters? Then you had to return 3 of them if you could and what a hassle that was? I ran across this article about gift cards vs. cash! I totally agree with Liz Pulliam Weston and here is part of the article.

"After reading her list of reasons not to get gift cards, I’m becoming less of a fan of them myself (unless I can get them for free, of course). I didn’t know, for example, that some retailers won’t let you split purchases with gift cards. This means that if you have $3 left on your card, and the cheapest item in the store is $4,you’re out of luck. That would tick me off royally. I don’t think I’d shop there again if they pulled that.

Cash doesn’t suffer from this problem. I mean, well, it does lose a little bit of value every day from inflation, but it doesn’t expire, there aren’t any fees associated with holding it, it’s accepted pretty much everywhere, and can be spent (or not spent) for pretty much any reason." If you’d like to read the whole article here’s the link http://www.mightybargainhunter.com/2009/12/10/pass-on-giving-gift-cards-and-give-cash-instead/

This is why I founded Foldin' Money on, give cash but in a fun and unique way! It is great because not only do you give a great gift, you don't waste time with shopping or spend gas and tire yourself out at the malls! The added benefit is you KNOW they are going to love spending it! For more information go to foldinmoney.com

Men Are Funny Creatures

Men and their logic often escape me and my sweetie is no exception! We work different shifts, he nights, me days. He loves to record TV programs that he misses while at work. So the deal was he could record on the bedroom TV, leaving our other television free for my viewing pleasure, provided the recording ends before I go to bed. The VCR in the bedroom makes strange noises when it stops recording and that wakes me up. Seems logical, right? One night before he left for work, I came into the bedroom and heard the VCR humming away. I asked him how long it was set to record and he said, sheepishly, “About 1:00 am.” My jaw dropped, but his retort was PRICELESS, he said, “It’s okay, I turned the fan on so that will drown out the VCR sounds!!” I laughed, “My dear,” I said, “Noise is noise!!” He is such a sweetheart, how could I be mad at him for trying to be thoughtful? Thank god for men, life would be so boring without them! www.foldinmoney.com
 

Struggles, Haiti and Molly Hightower

I started out to write about my struggles with overcoming my disability due to a stroke that left me unable to speak. Then the earthquake in Haiti happened and Molly Hightower died. I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Molly and it is tragic that her life was ended way too soon. From all the news reports I’ve heard, she had a good heart and lived her live knowing she was helping those children.

On the other hand, think about it for a minute, are you living your passion like Molly did? Is your job and life fulfilling in the way hers seemed to be? Finding a passion in life can be a really difficult task, so in that regard, I am truly blessed. I found my passion, being a woman and owning my own business doing something I love! My company Foldin’ Money is so fun and so unique that it makes me happy to be a part of it. As a stroke survivor I am doubly blessed in that I can run my business in spite of my garbled speech. Find your passion, follow your dreams, live is short, live it well. I know this is a different type of blog entry for me, I hope you will all give thanks for the blessings in your life! Thanks for listening! www.foldinmoney.com
