hey big spender

Hey penny pinchers, tight wads and cheapos. I'm on your side. I'm jumping ship from my overspending, undersaving ways. I'm investing. I'm drinking coffee from work. I'm creating a budget. I'm a new woman.

This isn't news to any of those who know me, but I hate desk jobs. So much hate. If my job was a living entity, I'd murder it. Dead. Anyways, it's unfortunate but I currently need this job be able to live in a house and eat food. But not forever. Perhaps for the first time ever, I'm planning ahead. I'm attempting to change the course of my life. Things have been stagnant for years. I'm in a rut. Everything has become routine and boring, in the worst way possible. I thought I was crazy for a long while, and that medication would turn on a switch that has been missing. My body did not react well to any drug I tested, and things weren't going to be different just because a doctor told me they would be. So, I'm saving to buy a new life. I want to work for myself, although I haven't gotten the particulars sorted quite yet. I know I'll need money, though. And a plan, coming soon. For certain, whatever path I choose I must be able to travel at will. Any form of transportation will do, just as long as the destination is new and there is adventure to be had.

Any thrifty-nifty people out there that would be so kind to provide insight into how I can become a millionaire on a pauper's paycheck?

  1. Cooking at home is one way I feel like a millionaire. I've been underpaid for so long now, and I just got a call about a job that pays twice what I'm getting now - and that's still the middle of my salary range. I would advise getting a leather bit and champing down hard on it as you stare down your desk. Keep working and looking and the jobs will come.

  2. Create a catch phrase. Make a T-shirt. Post it on youtube. Sell a million T-shirts! Call me if you want to know what I think the T-shirt should say. You got my number!
