I thought it would be a good idea to take one of my unused domains, brandonvogel.com, and monetize it by using GoDaddy’s CashParking service. Ends up it’s been costing me $4.00 per month and I’ve gotten exactly nothing out of it. I’m canceling it today and will just put up a bunch of Amazon and Google ads for the lack of something better to do at the moment.
Right now I’m trying to put together my own little personal finance blog, called Watch Every Penny. It’s focused on all my personal finance decisions, including even the little ones. I’m trying to eliminate even the smallest of bank fees and stuff. I just realized recently that earning something like 3% on a savings account doesn’t matter one bit if I’m paying a $6.50 monthly fee for a credit card or the $4.00 a month to GoDaddy for their CashParking service.
Right now, I’m just starting out on a better financial ground, and I’ve spent years squandering my money on bank fees and surcharges and everything. I’ll get into that at some point on the blog. That said, I’m trying to make every penny count right now. Some year soon, I’ll be happy to not care about the little charges when I have more money to play around with. Right now though, I need to make responsible decisions regarding both spending and saving.
I’m off to GoDaddy….
