Damn straight.

MEDIUM ARTICLE:

“HOW I GOT OUT OF $60,000 OF DEBT“

I wrote about how I got out of $60,000 of debt over on Medium.

URGE TO RANDOMLY COMPLIMENT STRANGERS

I randomly get the urge to compliment strangers and say things like:

“I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re really beautiful.”

But how awkward would that be coming from a woman who is heterosexual and a stranger, no less and wants nothing more than just to say that?

These are just so-called “ordinary” women but they’re just.. gorgeous and maybe they don’t know it.

Or they do. I don’t know.

So.. if you catch a strange woman staring at you, think that maybe they think you’re really beautiful and not that I’m trying to be hostile or judging you.

It would be easier if I had Baby Bun under the crook of my arm, because I find that mothers tend to be given a little more leniency.

THIS IS SO SWEET

“I’ve organized a lot of programs in prison. One of the classes I started is called Creative Parenting. It’s the most popular class here. The waiting list is really long. I don’t have any kids myself, but I noticed that most guys are really soft for their kids. So that gave me an idea. Mainly we just make stuff and send it to the kids. We’ll do coloring projects where the father will color half the picture, and the kid will color the second half. We write bedtime stories. Most of the guys write about sports, but we make sure that every story has a moral. Sometimes we’ll take funny photos and send them to the kids. One guy’s daughter was really into My Little Pony. He was a tough guy. He was in a gang and everything, but he put his hair into pigtails and pretended to be a horse. We did another class where we made cards for kids with cancer. I had my family set it up with a hospital. We made about 200 cards. They didn’t want us to write ‘I hope you feel better,’ because that reminds the kids of what they’re going through. So we tried to keep it focused on Christmas. There were 150 guys in my unit, and 60 signed up for that program. A lot of the guys had to wait outside because the room was too small.” (Federal Correctional Complex: Hazelton, West Virginia)

INCOME = $0

None to speak of.

EXPENSES = $6536.73 (not including taxes)

NET WORTH & SPENDING = $487,975.61 or a decrease of $51,256.97 or 10.5%

4 words to explain what happened:

Stock Market.

Taxes.

Spending.

I dipped below $500,000 but I am not too mad about this. I was way below that a year ago. I’m still good.

BABY BUN’S NET WORTH = $11,694.73 or an increase of +$637.69 or +5.77%

At least ONE of us is doing well.

GO BABY BUN!

LOOKING FORWARD

I need this weather to warm up so that I can do more things that do not involve hiding in malls or going shopping for more things to organize the home or educate Baby Bun.
