Methinks perhaps we are entering the realm of diminishing retur— nah, forget that. Just fix the darn thing. {Luke 6:42} Handle one’s own business, as it t’were. See, Truk now has an oil leak, fairly significant, but oil levels remain … level. Likely a rear main seal. Gah. Good thing, tho’ ‘cuz there is sort …
Steps to getting/staying debts free
Never Concede Defeat (Unless You Lost Then Yes)
OK so with the holiday season looming, I took a look at the debt repayment/satisfaction progress and … well. Not so good. The rules still apply — Don’t Spend If Spend Spend Wisely — as well as the 7Qs … however, despite, nevertheless, unfortunately, well … progress has … not halted, not exactly, but shall …

Bodes for Thee, Not He
Had a ferret once. Lovely creature, quirky … odd bodied. Never chewed off my nose. Used to make oily, musky poops if fed non-ferret food. If Half dies/leaves, might get another. Excellent pet. Speaking of oily, musky poops why has Elon Musk not been cancelled? Seems we live in the age of accountability for all …
Like Clockwork … or Herpes
The holidays are inflicted upon us, once again, as the year draws to a close. Mayhap guessed … not a fan of the annual spending traditions. Food prices are up eleventy-million percent, gas is worse (if that is even possible), and average ‘Murricans are expected to repeat the debt cycle with exorbitant expenditures on meals, …
Election Night in ‘Murrica
I’m old enough to remember the gas lines from the 70’s but too young to have felt any actual pain from them. My Elder had to remember the vehicle license place and the days those plates could get gas (odd/even) Inflation sucks. But it’s a good thing … (should) make folks spend less or not …
“Debt-Based” Lifestyle = Debased?
There are times I find myself (was I ever lost? Ohhhh yessss) wandering the shopping aisles, perusing about for goods&services for fam and self and ultimately leaving the store/marketplace with nothing. How nice. Don’t spend. If spend, spend wisely. No better advice. thank YOU!!! If I’m still thinking about the whatever thing on the seventh …
Is “Nigh” Valid in Scrabble?
Frightening to think there are only four months left in 2022, and it’s only going to get worse as the years progress. Whatever. We only get one day at a time so might as well use ‘em as they come. Earlier in these parts explained that GOD said to develop a spending plan … $2K …
End of Month
Well that was a bummer … onto debt! May have mentioned around these parts that Half and the other half have an … untraditionally traditional lifestyle. See, Half handles the life/life-sustaining obligations (mortgage, lights, heat, cable/internet — which, funnily enough, is the highest bill after shelter … go figure who knew) and me, the other …
Elite Debtor
Recently had the realization that I am a debtor elitist … high income, higher debts, highest entitlement. Ugh. I did not recognize me as that person. Mirror, meet face. A Reddit post asked for stories about toxic employers. One person said the request for time off had been placed a year in advance of a …
Post Doc in Debt
May have (or may be not have) mentioned somewheres around these parts that theKid is a straight A student. As in, all A’s. As in, nothing less than an A. As in, no B’s, C’s, D’s or heaven forfend! F’s. A big part of that (I believe) is that a child will meet the parents’ …
