OK so again – food. Notably, costs associated with feeding self and others go down pree-sip-pit-tus-ly!

Food, or a reasonable substitute
Half used to cook but between work travel and a general, unspecified anxiety about the palatability of the final product, the task of food has fallen essentially to me. Care not do I. I have to eat anyway so I just get extra for Half and theKid. Problem? Using the hands of others to feed …
Vanity MainTain, or Toiletries & Unguents
Human bodies are gross. Odors and viscous liquids and dead cell clusters burrowed in the skin … yeh. So, gotta handle that, not necessarily for others but to tolerate yourself.

Rotten Fruit
Made almost – but not quite – a grand selling part of the nonsense purchased for no memorable reason … lots of Euphoria at one point while growing my debt monkey. Now? Now, still at the Self-Pity stage, but actually doing something about it is a big switch. The biggest change has to be (1) …

Slim the Monkey
The reality of limited resources … ahhh … ewww … Cash & debt, assets & liabilities, income & expenses … Really. Can I just live? Warren Buffett said [and paraphrasing here] that if you work for a living you’ll work until you die. That is not encouraging. But then again … it is. America …

I!CAN’T!GET!NO—!
Rather than “debt repayment,” the goal here is “debt satisfaction” = making my creditors as happy as I can within the least amount of time. Truth be told: I would much, much rather repay everything I owe to everyone I owe, but (not to excuse but to EXPLAIN) the time-value of money being what it …
