Plus, this strategy gives you FU money — Financial Unstress.
You can bail on a bad employer, if you have to.

Don’t forget to put a carbide tip in the end.
For those folks who want to clip your noodle.

Take a hard look at that picture up top.
Then ask yourself:
If you owned a business in a challenging, competitive environment, would you knock yourself out to find them a job somewhere else in your business?
And if you were working somewhere else, would you want one of those happy campers to show up next to you?
Or would…

Not true.
Plumbing projects take FIVE trips.
DAMHIK.

Two cars, $2-$3 a week, $104/$156 a year, easy, usually more with reward points for free gas ...
Nice dinner out for free without breaking a sweat? Free gas? Just by timing my fueling?
I’ll take that.

This is easy to do with a little pre-planning, and can really add up.
In mid-Michigan, Sunday and Monday are the go-to days for the cheapest gas of the week. The price can swing down by 30 cents or more those days.
Use a loyalty card, and a refillable gift card and the gas station app to score even more savings.
It takes…

Just a wild guess here, but I’m thinking that bike had a 1/4-turn racing throttle, and the cop had never encountered one before.
Why he wasn’t pushing the bike is a whole ‘nother story.

Martial arts gave me four things:
Confidence, body control, appreciation for what my body CAN do, and the ability to take a hit and stay in the fight.

With those things in your gi pocket, you can avoid many fights.
You actually give off a confidence vibe that helps.
And if that don’t help, you can anticipate and absorb…

You forgot the lottery tickets and the smokes.

Fewer than you think, unless you are thinking “public servants.”

If your company is not immediately vesting their portion of any match ... you need a new company.
They are counting on you leaving before five years are up (or whatever the vesting schedule is) and shorting you.
Sometimes the CEO will claim he is giving everyone “more” 401(k) money, when it is really coming off the…

I used to catch grief for wearing my gaiters at the bus stop.
They never seemed to glom on to the fact that the bus stops were not shoveled or plowed, and you usually had to wade through shin-deep, wet, messy snow to get to the bus.
Your gaiters catch all that grief and shrug it off, and keep your shoes and pants dry,…

Hey, how did her internship for Harvey Weinstein’s outfit go?
She get a full-time gig?

Also:
• Clean your keyboard.
• Don’t let your piles of stuff threaten to topple me and bury me.

In an open office where I once worked — and we were routinely shifted to new desks/groupings — I became famous for cleaning keyboards I inherited.

Some people who eat at their desks and never clean their keyboards basically…

My wife is now trained to snatch up the dry clean one and put it in her purse immediately upon being seated! :)

I use them as trophies from past motorcycle trips.
So far, I am halfway around the rim joist in my 28x42 pole barn.
Each one a great memory!

Do or don’t do. There is no try. :)
Yes, Yoda had it easier and cheaper finding a standing desk.

I’ve been at a standing desk for 10 years. DON’T spend $142 to “try it out.”
Build it out of Amazon boxes, copy paper, a file cabinet, whatever.
You’ll find you really like it. Or you won’t. And you won’t have a $142 clutter…

You’re gonna be flush!

My big thing about my no-spend January is not buying at Amazon.com, Woot, Lifehacker deals, and dealmac and stores.
Oh, I still look. But I am refusing to buy.
Last year, I found all this “stuff” I “need” that I ... just ... don’t.
Meanwhile, I am willing to go out to dinner, rent a movie on Prime, buy a coffee once in a…
