Distraction<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, a big part of the debt monkey comprises purpose<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 that thing that pushes each and every of us out of bed (or off the floor or from the rafters \u2013 never presume!) each day and provides that rationale for even bothering in the first place.  You know, with the whole life thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from food-clothing-shelter-healthcare, purpose \/ or the IMPs \/ can be a source of pain or pleasure (or both presume never!) when it comes to the debt monkey and management thereof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Controlling the IMPs keeps the monkey in check.  Training the IMPs keeps the monkey pocket-sized, portable, and easily caged.  Yesss<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So! some of the brilliant mindpeople of my less-impressed youth suggested (strongly) that one find one purpose \u2013 a single IMP \u2013 and focus fun-money spending on that \u2026 such as, instead of clothes-shoes-cars-tech-jewelry-hookers&blow \u2026 just stick to one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTW costs related to hookers&blow can be exponential but can have a spending plan for that, too, just stay FOCUSED where was I right \u2026 just one IMP at a time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like monster trucks.  So I bought one.  Yesss<\/em> HOWEVER<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made some investments in \/ expenditures related to Big Pooda (yes the truck has a name ALL TRUCKS HAVE NAMES you have not memo?) but remains currently in a state of dishabilly, and has been for some time.  Why, you\/we\/us may ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did not accept\/follow the sage advice \u2026 turns out, needed more thyme (ba-dum-bumpTIIISSS) and no you can\u2019t kill me you\u2019d miss me too much [grins stoopitly]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boredom.\u00a0 Rather than focusing IMPs, started clicking on crap.\u00a0 Too easy to spend on distractions BUT METHINKS MANKIND MASTERS LIKE IT grrr all the grrr moving on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, just didn\u2019t control the IMPs \u2026 lost focus, and the IMPs, all the IMPs, began to play with the monkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaannnddd<\/em> \u2026 here we are.  But we now know that now, and need not stay at are but can move onto next better best.  Be best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half is good with that.  Half bought an elephant and a Tangerine Dream.  The elephant purchase was at instigation of other half (such a bad influence).  Half also buys shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it.  Half\u2019s true IMP is Family, and rarely lets the IMPs play with Half\u2019s monkey.  Half has fun with Half\u2019s IMPs, tho\u2019 just manages to keep the IMPs and the monkey apart \u2026 or if the IMPs are with the monkey they don\u2019t get to play long together <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, Half is a genius, and theKid is listening to \/ learning from the right parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So glad there\u2019s two of us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
