Steps to getting/staying debts free
OK not mad, exactly. Just perplexed. A bit irritated. Confused, as to this. OK so there are not one but two two holes in the ceiling … one of which due to gross negligence, the other to … idiocy? Morons moving through the world? Stupidity just strutting about? Yah, methinks so. OK so face-tatted “guy” …

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? …
Or, better yet, shiny things. Mansa Musa, the richest man who ever lived, had a bag worth $400B in today’s bucks, and even managed to devalue gold by spreading it around. Bozos and the oily, musky ferret funk got nothing on that guy. Well, that guy lived/reigned some 700 years ago, so there is that. …
Interesting little factoid / as described by wikiwiki … stocks are used as restraining devices for the feet, a form of corporal punishment and public humiliation (á la social spanking). The pillory, by contrast, is distinguishable via its confinement of hands and head/neck. So now we just get pilloried by stocks. Ahh, this. The Fab …
As far as financial instruments go … bonds are boring. And confusing. Maybe that is the point. Think about it — rate v. yield v. total return. Wat. Yahn. Well, rate = interest, or the money the bond is supposed to make. Yield = a question, or does interest compound? If so, what is the …
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 …
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 …
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 … …

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, …
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 …
