Suze Orman's Financial Compatibility Quiz

Yeah, so I'm officially a YFand B'er.

But y'all knew that.

Anyhow, I took the quiz describing myself, of course.

I am equal parts spendthrift, financial catch, and financial wreck. Thank you very much.

My numbers weren't high in any category. But please believe I am watching my finances like a hawk recently.

Hmm....

Here's a MEME just for those of you who actually read to get to it. Love ya!


This is from Sister Surviving.



.:Have you ever played Soduku? Or what about puzzles in general?
Yeah. Like them, but gen'rally do the easy and medium puzzles in the Express.


.:If the temperature had to be the same on every day of the year, what would you want it to be?

EIGHTY-ONE DEGREES and EIGHTY PERCENT HUMIDITY. I miss my island.

.:What is one item you own that you really should throw away, but probably never will?

Knitting needles and yarn. But I will finish the scarf, even if it takes until July!

.:You are at Starbucks, what is your order?
A) Venti Refresh

B) tall breve or soy vanilla chai. (depends on how masochistic I'm feeling)

C) grande breve Marisa (this is a Mint Vanilla Double Shot Latte with extra Whipped cream, named so by some friends who worked with me at Starbucks.) on days when illegal and haram habits start to look entirely too tempting.

Pop-ups

Cable TV is from The Enemy. At times.


.:Which way do you put the toilet paper roll on the holder? Is there a correct way?

Let's get this straight: the paper is supposed to go over the roll. However, I'm satisfied if there is actually paper ON the roll as opposed to already used, especially at the crucial moment.


.:How did you come up with your user name?

After the way we hear (or Americans say) the number that corresponded to my gregorian age when I started this blog.

Think about it: say "22". Yeah. That.

Simultaneous blinker and slow, shift into lane, turn.

.:What would you rather have, a nanny, a housekeeper, a cook, or a chauffeur?

A housekeeper, I actually went so far as to spring for one when I was in PR and seriously depressed. My aunt has one now. To walk into a clean and orderly house is one of the best-priced remedies for having to work that I know.

Your mouth to God's ears!

Hmm. Long, flowy, white dress with me in a filmy niqab (FOr some reason I see myself like Rachel at the well). 'bout 6 bridesmaids in ethnic dresses from their respective countries. Husband and my families fill the circular room. Everyone is happy and not concerned about the serious amount of dancing that will be going down later.

Yeah, it's my wedding, what!

Whole Foods. and when my aunt goes, Costco. You see why I'm broke?

Also not mine and I can't eat it: tons of pork including ham, smoked ham, honey ham, and bratwurst, some blackeyedpease from new years with pork in it; leftovers, shredded cheese, various condiments... it's a jungle in there.

.:Have you ever been on TV or the radio?

Yes. On both.

Shoes for me can be quite quite expensive, yo. That and my cell phone, which is actually cheap but cost $500 total to replace after it was stolen. Allahu Alim.
