When you suddenly realize you actually have money to spend.

If you weren't such a dorkish tightwad...

...you'd pay Johnny Bob's lupus bills for him so he could get back here and post.

You selfish piece of sh!t...
 
I been broke for about a year after paying whatever needs to be paid. Barely getting by on this and that, using whatever was left for food and gas. Finally landing a good paying job about 2 months ago, I've continued not spending money on anything that wasn't absolutely necessary (except for my dog and his cat buddy).

A few minutes ago, I was going through the fridge to fix a sandwich. Then it dawned on me,"Wait a minute, I got real money in my pocket to blow. Why not drive a few miles to a decent restaurant and splurge to my heart's content? Go to Wal-mart and buy some much needed new work clothes or tools?" Fuck, it's almost like I'm a real person again.

I oven fry my duck no dark sauce. I use a little butter, garlic and thyme served with dark greens or spinach salad and a bit of chocolate cake for dessert.

Sounds delicious! Could you post that in my culinary creation thread?

When I created my version of "Swamp Cabbage", that was splurging for me a few months ago when I was grocery shopping. It was based on a recipe of my Mom's I remembered as best I could. Thyme was one of the spices I got creative with.

There's a laid back mom and pop restaurant around here that's popular w/the locals. I brought a sample to the owner and his wife to see what they thought and I've made some large batches since then they introduced as a special. Each time the batch gets bigger, each time they sold out of it.

Eh, he pays me something for it, though he's a little annoyed I won't give him the full recipe.

Can relate.

Save a bit, splurge a bit.


Wat was broke for 2011 - lack of work was my dilemma. It took part of 2012 once work reappeared to pay off the money I had borrowed from friends and family.


Of course, there is an old Dodge now which likes regular cash infusions.


I think it's nice of you to let your dog have a cat. I have thought of getting the cats a puppy.
 
The next critter on the list, for whatever insane reason the wimmins have is goat...


Time for an alpha lambda lambda joke...
 
All my jokes now involve stimulus. The bosses ratcheted up the schedule.


Off to put my neck back o=under the cruel bootheel of oppression.


I'll wonder all day what Mom is cooking for supper:

Put it in a savings account or buy a share or two of Wellpoint stock and start building against future non-personhood.
 
Land can be the best investment, especially fertile land on water.

Back in the 70s I bought farm acreage that made me good money when I sold it. Hell! I even bought a sink-hole and sold it for a nice profit (rich guy made a fishing pond out of it).

If I was 25 I'd buy 40 acres: plant 10 acres of pecans, 10 acres of hogs, 10 acres of corn, and 10 acres of live oaks.
 
I was asked a few weeks ago what I would do with 30 mil:

1. Buy lots of plastic helmets with horns and send them to Norway.
2. Tulip bulbs.
3. Buy a bomb and threaten North Korea with it.
4. Invest in the Tamagotchi recovery program.
5. Deposit on a Ming Dynasty vase.
6. Replicate the Shroud of Turin.
 


I have a simple rule when it comes to spending money.


Don't.
