Cutting the Fat

Well tonight I canceled two services cutting over $40 from the budget a month, I think I am going to do some more with the cable here at the house, go back down to the last cable package, the “Digital” cable package was neat and all, but the only real “digital” bit I watched was Heroes in HD - but I can live with the standard bit, just trying to lower the monthly bills a few hundred dollars, and try to get my budget in check for living on my own.

One of the things to take the hit tonight, Blocksbuter Online. I love the service, it’s nice, but the price has crawled up, now making things that were standard features like “In-Store Exchange” either a mid-range priced bonus with 1-5 in-store exchanges, or a high-priced bit for around $25 a month for 3 out.. so it took the cut, but I am going to continue to cut out little things, like World of Warcraft, it dies at 3:34am - so like 2 hours left to play if I want to - but little less playing for a while I guess.

Still a tad worried about the finances, they’ll eventually bounce back entirely specially with these cuts, but I still need to get revenues up, and I know specials in October, changes in Credit Card Processing, they are all going to help, but the pinch on the coinage is now but tomorrow that is my goal, focus on the online billing, and start doing one monster audit, and probably purchase not 1, but 2 copies of the billing software, decided I am going to simply get one for each domain, get SSL & a IP for each domain, and set them up separately, sort of wanted to get a DBA for FH and make TN and it 100% different companies, but not sure yet (at least on the DBA bit) but for sure getting them setup, and folks switched over, if I can do this before October is 100% here - I can roll out the new CC processor mid-month once my app clears, and in the middle of the night cut over, would be wonderful.

So thats my plan as-is, wether or not that stays the same over the next 24 hours, is yet to be seen, but I am hoping for the best! If I can wing it, I’d love to have finances fixed up, cash-flow up at least an additional $500-$1000 a month ($500 is the bottom of the equation) - and get out to my own place, I love my current situation, but at the same time its time, I need to stretch these wings again, and have my own place - so as I have said before, anyone wanting to sponsor me lol feel free, but I am going to setup a tip jar here soon for folks again, and I am still considering my options for a community website, have some ideas in mind, a staff in mind, but instead of trying the whole “online-pow-wow” again, I am going to write up my own game plan, approach folks and go from there.

Anywhoo - thats my current bit of life as it is, thanks for reading (or at least attempting to) hopefully things will continue to evolve over the next few weeks! Prayers appreciated! Take care all - have a good Thursday!
