Whelps, now that we’re into, what, year 3? of training our debt monkeys in this here credit circus, where do things stand? Ehhh … could be better, but we are better than worse, so there’s that. Basically, threw some significant bananas to starve out a bunch of monkeys, so … happy about that. Had to …
Moderately Moderate in Moderation
Briefly perused (wat? “pear”? “yoused”? ENGLISHMAKESNOSENSE) an article about how to shop for the holidays without breaking the budget (that’s ‘cuz budgets don’t work and waste my time) and suggested that folks plan ahead, make a list of gift-receivers, decide the gift, then shop for sales. Oh, wait. That sounds like a SPENDING PLAN. See? …
Dumpster Fire
Well that’s what we call a gloriously beautiful catastrophic failure. Like a plane crash. Or slow-motion car wreck. Drone footage of a train derailment. Sexy carnage. But, to quote the Martha, and that’s a good thing. Took a minute, but found some balls nearby and decided to take the hit, broached the subject of the …
The Four Horsemen of Consumption
Only four things to do with the thing after spending money on the thing. Use it. Sell it. Gift it. Toss it. Most folks will use/consume it – whatever it is – for a bit then either give/gift it to someone else, try to sell it in exchange for cash/(rarely) trade, or throw it away …
6-In-One
All this talk of money inspired an idea … and we know Who that came from (hehYES). So every household has income and expenses … even if one severely outweighs the other, they are still that. And presuming that if one must work with another adult to manage the aforesaid household, both parties on the …
Money Money Money Muuhh-ney … MUHHHHN-NAAAAYYY
Did not truly appreciate the fact until I read this book, but … companies and governments run exactly the same. Not with the same purpose … contrary to what Mr. Potatohaid says/thinks, can’t run a country like a business. No, rather government (or gub’mint, to be consistent) and private enterprise need money to function … …

Pound Cake
Ehh, the bane of debt … it ain’t just the principal, but the vig. But, conversely, could be good. OK so there’s this thing called “compound interest,” or “compounding interest,” and what this does is make the original money more than the original money. What? Yeh. OK so … think: credit cards. Everyone knows (well …
Get Deez Nuts
Made a decision. Or came to one, at least. It’s time to invest. Or, rather, learn how/why to. Not time time, oh-ho-no never actually that. I never in reality do something when I decide to do it. Gotta think about it, gotta ruminate, gotta consider, before that first step. Because that’s a big step. So, …
Same Same, Different Year
Whelp, the end is nigh. 2023 is coming to a close, and not sure how/what methinks about that. Not that it matters outside of my very own brain box, but still. Considering. Last year is/was different than this year, which is good, sort of. Finished feeding a monkey, no more bananas for Bonzo. However. As …
They Said I Could So I Did … Prolly Shouldn’t’ve, Tho’ … YOLO!!! (well, twice … afterlife)
OK, so … wait. Hear me out. This is good, I promise. I think. OK, so, somewhere around these parts there was a discussion of debt monkeys, and how the credit circus will forever want the masses to play, and not only watch the show but become an active part of it. OK, so, what …
