I did something today that I’ve never done before! I bought clothing at Walmart!!! Yikes! Yes, OK, I must be a little bit of a clothing snob. But, I had to replace my construction clothes finally. They were looking too worn and painted over. I looked like a vagrant person. It was humiliating. And, [...]
I came to a final decision over the last week to go ahead and quit working as a Realtor with clients for good. I notified the clients of the last few listings I had left today. Then, I emailed my broker to let her know. It remains to be seen if I’ll keep my license [...]
I am pleased to report that I haven’t cheated on my 30 Day Challenge at all. Not once! Well, there are always TV’s in the gym, but they’re always tuned to absolutely nothing interesting. I’m sure they do that by design to keep people from loitering too long on the machines.
While we were still living [...]
We’ve moved into House 17 finally! We rented a U-haul truck for $25/day plus mileage and just threw all our big items into it. We were doing just fine–just the two of us–hauling all the furniture we intend to keep up the stairs to the finished second floor of House 17. I say “were doing [...]
Kiyosaki’s books are great for drumming up one’s motivation to not just dip a toe into the real estate market–but sometimes cannonball into it! However, when it comes to specifics, I’ve been disappointed by Rich Dad books. They woefully lack in detail of “how-to” or “gotchas” to look out for. In fact, [...]
I think it’s no secret that I don’t do well in a typical job situation. I play well with others–I like people! I just don’t like being told what to do. Yes, I’m sorry to say it seems I have a minor issue with authority. It’s not that I think I’m so special that the [...]
I want a vacation that I don’t have to pay for. I think it can be done, too!
Now, before you think I’ve gone off the deep end, please realize I’m just seriously stubborn. And, my little ornery self is tired of not being able to take a vacation because of financial limitations. So, I’m going [...]
I woke up this morning, rolled over, and instinctively grabbed the remote. Gosh, I had no idea I was watching TV that much. But, yeah–apparently, I had incorporated it into my morning routine, too. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to stop before pressing Power.
Wow, this house gets quiet! I think I’m experiencing loneliness. [...]
I should never have caffeine so late in the evening. It’s after 1 AM now. And, I’ve been lying awake, thinking up ways to make my life difficult better.
There’s something that’s been bothering me lately. Since I’ve been home more, I’ve developed an attachment again to an imaginary friend–the TV. I seem to be mesmerized [...]
This has been a tough winter financially so far! But, despite my recent disappointing real estate sales career and the delays in selling our Houses 4, 8, and 13, I’ve decided to keep a positive outlook. I only want to write about the GOOD things I’m expecting in my financial future. So, here are the [...]
