In July I bought my scooter, so there went most of my interest earning cash (but I’ve saved $150 dollars on gas for the month!), I also don’t have any CDs left to pay out interest. So pretty much a bust interest wise. My earnings from AdSense were rather meager as well, most likely my own fault since I barely posted at all during July.
August will be the real trick, as I’ll be on vacation, which cuts out a good portion of those credit card rewards from work related purchases.
Interest: $28.17
Dividends: $56.83
Credit Card Rewards: $30.59
AdSense: $10.34
Text Ads: $25.00
Surveys: $6.00
Misc. website income: $30.00
Netting a solid $186.93, nothing to sneeze at, but a little short of June’s total.
A few days after the iPhone 3G was announced I sold my first gen iPhone for much more than it was worth, the best part is I sold it with my contract… Now I have no plan to return to AT&T as their service is crap and they have no coverage in Nebraska, but I do miss having an iPhone or an iPod touch.
I’ve been considering getting an iPod touch for the past few weeks, but have been holding off. Well today I found a first gen 8GB iPhone available for $100, dang sweet deal! I’m hopefully gonna take a look at it tomorrow and if it’s in good condition I’ll purchase it.
Now I can spend all the money I saved on apps in the App Store.
Pixar debuted the trailer for their new film Up yesterday, looks odd.
The hero of the film is a 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen, who walks around hunched over with a tripod cane. When he was a kid he met a girl named Ellie, who grew up in small midwestern town. The two fell in love and eventually got married. Her dream was always to explore the world and visit paradise falls, but as usually happens, life got in the way. They were never able to make good on their promise, and Ellie eventually passed away. Now Carl is a widower living alone in his small home. Developers are threatening to move him into an old folks home.
I’ve been tracking my mileage on my new toy and even though I’m still in the break-in period (first 600 miles, which I should surpass later today) I’m getting excellent gas mileage. My first tank was a measly 41 MPG, my second 58 MPG, and my third tank 59 MPG, that’s a healthy 52.99 MPG average.
Now from what I’ve read and the people I’ve talked too, supposedly the mileage improves after the break-in period… which would be sweet, though I’m not really expecting it too.
p.s. I filled up for $10.23 the other day, eat that world.
Apple announced their excellent earnings for this last quarter yesterday, and of course the stock started a predictable downward slide.
It happens every earnings call, Apple goes conservative on the next quarters guidance and Wall Street freaks. Hello! They do this every time! Big deal, everyone knows they’re going to blow away that guidance, so why freak out?
Anyhow, this an excellent opportunity to pick up some discounted Apple shares.
Getting paid might be an overstatement, as Scour really just rewards you with points which can be redeemed for cash at around 6500 points (that translates into $25).
Scour arregates search results from Yahoo, MSN, and Google, so it’s actually useful as a search engine. Plus you can earn a little extra on the side.
