Off-Topic / What perks do you all get from work besides Salary?

« on: February 02, 2010, 06:03:36 am »Message ID: 136012

I am a SAHM but my husband works.  He is always fussing about people getting better deals then he does at work.

Every month we get:

His Salary
$700 in Car Allowance (car payment is only $200 so that covers our insurance, maintenance, etc.)
Health Insurance  (company covers 50% of cost)
Match of 25% on 401k
A huge order of Omaha steaks sent to the house on every major holiday from his boss.  (I love those apple tartlets)

I don't think that is a bad deal - but I wouldn't know how to compare it to others.

Just wondering?

Off-Topic / Magic Jack

Magic Jack.  Do any of you use this?  I am trying to cut back on a lot of bills this year.  I already cut a lot of my cabl channels.  My son is not happy but he will get over it.  Would love to get rid of phone bill.  I have seen the commercials but not sure about it.  I do not know anyone that uses it.

Thanks for any responses.

Off-Topic / Spouse ideas on you earning money

« on: November 12, 2009, 09:09:13 am »Message ID: 108684

I am a SAHM.  I am always looking for ways to save money and earn money.  My husband gets so mad when people ask me if I can babysit, etc for money.  He has even blew up at people saying he makes a good 6 figure income and NO WIFE OF HIS needs to work for money.  I do PTC sites, sew things that I sell online, etc. 

How can I get my hubby to calm down when people offer me work for pay.  Why does he take such offense.  He is hard to talk to and dare not ask him.

Thanks for any ideas.

Off-Topic / My new puppy & DNA testing.

« on: October 08, 2009, 10:31:24 am »Message ID: 97682

I bought a new puppy on Sunday.  The pet store said she was a Ori-pei (Pug / Shar-pei mix).  I thought she was just beautiful.  I took her to the vet yesterday to get her checked out and have some shots, etc.  The vet and everyone in the vet waiting area swore she looked like a Lug (Pug / Jack Russell mix).

Has anyone ever had their dogs DNA tested?  Any recommendations for what company to use?  I don't care what she is - I have fallen in love with her and my puggle is learning to love her also.
