Simple Living
I actually look forward to paying bills these days. I have so few anymore, that it's sort of exciting to get a bill and pay it. I should try to keep that in mind for the next iteration of my life - that having fewer bills to worry about is nice. Of course the main way I've accomplished this is to no longer be a homeowner, and I'm not sure I want that to be a permanent state.
I'm thinking about getting a part-time job (probably retail) just because I have the free time, and who can't use more money? So far I am thinking about:
Compusa - because I want to build myself a new computer and they probably have an employee discount on components.
REI - Because it seems like a pleasant place to work, and again I might get an employee discount on things I'd buy anyway.
Bookstores - But I worry that I'd end up buying too many books and lose money on the deal.
Auto parts store - Same worry as the bookstore. Although I wonder if any of them need part-time delivery drivers, because I'd enjoy that.
Anyone ever work for any of these places, or at some other place you liked that might suit me?
And can you believe that the Santa Fe minimum wage is $9.50? Wow. That'll bring the cost of living there down. Not. The median home price there is now $470,000. Meanwhile, in Albuquerque the median home price is about $180,000. Not that I'm saying there's any kind of direct link between wages and housing prices, economics is way more complicated than that.
