Moving stuff, and dumbest cool thought I ever had...

Nov 05, 2009 02:19

Okay everyone. Those who are really close to me know that my previous moving arrangement sorta fell through on account of not really wanting to, um, be the caretaker for my housemate. Not really part of the deal. That said, I found a much nicer place a few miles outside the city for about the same going rate. All's cool on that front and I start moving the majority of my stuff, with help, this weekend.

Now, on to the freaky fun.

I was reading a webcomic just a minute ago, and a character who is not exactly 'bright' fell madly in happiness with the idea of having seven dollars. He even promised he would 'love this seven dollars forever'. Of course, my amused mind turns this around, grammatically, and ends up not with loving that seven dollars, for all time, but loving what it would be like to HAVE seven dollars, forever. I realized in a split second that I had brain-farted, but by then it was too late; I was tickled...

What would you do if every morning you woke up and had $7 in your wallet? Let's assume it's still a new day, and the world is in the same state it was in last night, but regardless of your money situation when you went to bed, you wake up with $7 cash in your wallet. It's like the groundhog-day of the lower-middle class at the end of the month. You follow me?

Now, I'll grant you, it's not enough money to quit your job and still keep your rent paid. It's barely even enough to keep a vehicle gassed up. Heck, I'd probably even get direct-deposit set up just so I never accidentally leave a paycheck in there. Not sure how the physics would work on that, you know? However, the positive implications are just awesome.

You get up, roll out of bed, and if you're working that day you got gas money and a couple bucks for lunch @ McDonalds' covered. You could take $2 or $3 of it and put it in your bank account every morning and have extra spending cash at the end of the month, assuming it works that way. Day off? You got a ticket at the cheap theater and at least a large drink paid for. Running low on toilet paper or bread or cheese? No sweat. Simply put, $7 in your wallet every morning amounts to approximately $210 every month, and that is a hell of a lot of excess money to stumble into.

As I said before, it's like the 'Groundhog-day' of the lower-middle-class wallet. I gotta find out how to be the Gary Hobson (yes, the character from 'Early Edition') of having $7 in my wallet. That would totally make my life. I'd still have to work, but damn, life would be sweeter.

Anyways, cheers and crazy stupid thoughts to you all! ---Nikki

PS: If anyone actually reads this, feel free to leave me a comment about what YOU would do if you woke up and found $7 in your wallet every morning. One word of advice is to definitely take all money OUT of the wallet when you go to bed at night, but I haven't even begun to explore what else you could theoretically get out of this. So drop me a reply! If this generates any humor, I may start posting other odd thoughts that cross my mind. Peace.
