Purposefully Purposed

The tedious of tedium, but doing the right thing is seldom as enjoyable as doing the wrong, neé debt life.  After a month of spending track, the illustrious Mr. Edelman suggests converting those dollar amounts to percentages to determine the percentage of total spending occurred in each category (i.e., each column’s dollar total divided by …

Clown Monkeys

This has officially become ridiculous.  Would go shoot the poo-flinging monkey in the face but bullets be pricey. theKid asked for some random trinket-bauble-doodad on the thing with the stuff, said “yeh,” tried to process the magikal plastic and got denied. Wat.  This is a six-figure household, waddaya mean “declined”? And to think this time …

Trading War

Well that seems like an evilitic idiot idea but gotta consider the source. Can’t say he didn’t keep his promise. Mexico, Canada, China, and – soon, possibly – the EU. Might as well just do a 100-percent tariff on everything from everywhere … what’s that Kings of Leon song “Radioactive”?  Just drink the water … where …

Point:Missed / Target:Lost / Objective:Failed

Somewhat of a fan of Matt Walsh, a total troll but good for the interesting. Saw a reaction video of his (thanks, Tubes of You) whereby he felt outraged and righteous indignation at a subreddit “r/regretfulparents.”  MattyDub basically concluded that the forum should not exist, that people choose to be happy or unhappy, and that …

So Good to be So Right

2024.  Over already.  Good.  This has been one colostomy-bag filled year. Met a face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey who completely derailed $$$ plans for the year, BUT but put a new roof on the home of the Elder, so the FDOs could have a solid covering.  There is that. Had $11K (yes that is thousand) in vehicle …

Tailspin

Have a Dear One working in the US public school system, and DO noted that plandemic babies are entirely, unequivocally screwed. That two+ years at home, no socialization, no in-class connection?  These kids got Epsteined in the absolute worst way, and it will only get worser. DO works in/with early childhood development, and sees all …

Let’s Get Ready to Grumble

Called a lawyer to see about inflicting some financial injury on the face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey. Gah, doan wanna, but hey … don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing. Good news – bit of a packrat, so kept all communications, contracts, etc. And megeddit … times are tough for everyone. However.  Why make it tougher on a …

Journey of A Thousand Steps Begins with Better Shoes

Before reaching a destination, must identify the starting point. On some level methinks has done a bit of this, but not in the correct/most effective way. Edelman’s rule?  Four columns, many rows … Creditor name Balance owed Interest rate Minimum payment                             …
