I am the river bank of thoughts and ideas...
Happy B-day Nerdia!!! 29 and catchin up quick! In the words of WAMU, WHOO HOO!
So much for posting every day, ha ha ha. I didn't even post the first word of advice...tis Friday, thank goodness. I'll be glad to not have to work for a few days. I worked both Sat and Sunday last weekend...albeit, not for too long, about 3-4 hours each day. Still, that's 12 days straight. It'll be nice to have a weekend for resting, and yes, cleaning my room for once. And of course, working out.
20 Things I Wish I Had Known When Starting Out in Life
1. How to control impulse spending.
If there’s anything that got me in trouble financially, it’s impulse spending. Buying clothes when I don’t need them. Buying gadgets because I gotta have them. Ordering stuff online because it’s so easy. Buying that new shiny SUV because … well, because it was going to help me with women. I’m not proud of any of that. I’ve learned to control my impulses, at least a little better. Now, I give myself some time to breathe. I think over my purchases, see if I’ve got the money, think about whether it’s a need or a want. That would have been a useful tool 15 years ago.
Here's an interesting forward I got from Anna this morning, or a while ago, I can't even remember anymore. People have probably seen this countless times, but it really never ceases to amaze me.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?
