No money but good muscles
I just spend two hours at the gym today. I have no hours of work this week. Doing out the math, 0 times my hourly rates is... ZERO. That is the number of dollars I will be making this week (after taxes, of course). So, I figure if I am going to be dirt poor because of my unreliable job, I can at least get all muscular and sexy! And I don't want to hear any of that claptrap about not being able to lose 25 pounds and gain definition in a week. I've never let reality get in my way before, and I damned well do no intend to start now ;)
But seriously, I expect that I shall have better, stronger, faster, deeper employment soon. I am expecting a call back from a local company for whom I might be a store general manager, and if that falls through, there is a great local driving school which can give me reliable work close to home working with local folks. I would even get to teach classroom, which I believe I would enjoy immensely. So, my current poverty is only temporary if terribly ill-timed.
Well, Mr. Smarty-with-money-pants, since you are so smart with money, why don't you have any savings to get you through the lean patch?
An excellent question. I know quite well the value of savings. Unfortunately, I have to pay $550 per month in debt payments for Phoenix. Add to that my job paying $25K instead of the $50K I was promised and planning for, and you may understand why saving was not an option. This may also help you understand why staying at my current job is not an option either.
