Not a blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another one? Another blaaawwwggg<\/em> \u2026 ? 2016 called \u2026 its hipsters have wandered off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nonetheless, here we are, so hello, thank you, and welcome, glad you\u2019re here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Few ground rules \u2026 first, GOD!!! If you have a problem with that boy are you screwed!<\/em> but you may be in the right place if you\u2019re open to open, so again \u2026 welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where was I\u2014oh yes GOD! He is thee! magnificent, triumphant, triumvirate GOD, and once He told me to look at porn but that\u2019s another conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So the focus here is GOD! and then escaping debt and as long as I focus on the first the rest will take care of itself (yeah baby!) so \u2026 yeah. The other objective with this blaaawwwggg<\/em> is tossing out some potential alternative spending strategies to others with maybe some of my selfsame $$$ issues and maybe get\/find\/create solutions and maybe get\/cause\/force a few laughs in the process. Or not, whatever. As long as I\u2019m enjoying myself, that is key. Oh, and money. Gotta make money. Half is shrill, yet for good purpose. More on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other reason, further down in importance, is the fact that money ain\u2019t math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If money were simply math, 18-year-olds would not bind themselves to a lifetime of five- and six-figure debt with no more thought than a signature \u2026 at the impetus and with the support of society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If money were simply math, it would not be the primary reason cited by divorcing couples as justification for the split, or the cause of the rift between siblings who, once close, now never speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If money were simply math, managing it would be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Too much emotion and identity attaches to money (spent, saved & given) to remain entirely detached and rational around it, and ultimately there are only two ways of managing money \u2013 poorly and well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to several reputable sources I\u2019m fairly intelligent. Conversely, I\u2019m also slow, so it takes me a minute to get something but when I finally get it I got it and I don\u2019t let it go. Re money, took me longer than it should have (Q. how old am I? A. enough) but I finally learned that my issue is not money or overspending or lack of budget; it\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The real problem is \u2026 I don\u2019t like money. I don\u2019t respect it, and actually find it to be more of an irritant. Money is just the thing I need to get the thing I need, and while I will never love money [1 Tim. 6:10<\/em>] I do need to find a way to get along with it, because money turns the world. Without it, life is waayyy<\/em> more unpleasant than it has to be, and debt winds up being a big part of that … current funds used for past crap bought with future money. Yeah, that makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For better or worse (heh) \u2013 we were married to money upon arrival \u2026 birthed and betrothed to cash \u2026 whelped and wedded to financials, and divorce is not an option because even disposing of your corpse costs something<\/em> … I believe it is fairly uncommon for a body to simply rot where it falls but guess could (has?) happen(ed?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the core, there are only two steps to debt: getting into it, and getting out of it. Since I\u2019ve had plenty of experience climbing in, just to mix things up a bit I\u2019d like to try getting out. And I believe that since I finally finally FINALLY understand the trick[that’s what you’re s’posed to do]<\/em><\/sup>, I can enjoy the treat[actually not doing it]<\/em><\/sup> …<\/p>\n\n\n\n So without further ado (too much ado?) \u2026 on to next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Don’t know what you’re doing here still but real glad you came.
