A couple bills and VERY small stuff. So deceptive :)

The economy isn't effecting me, but I'm not working since I moved away from my job for school, so I'm cutting back anyway. Eating a lot of mcdonalds and hot pockets...Even more pizza, not buying many things that I don't need, and I actually think about whether I need it or not before I buy.sigpic

-make my own lattes in the morning-free starbucks coffee grounds from my sister helps too
being that i still work and have 2 more jobs lined up, when the places open, im not too worried, plus having two cars that beg attention i spend way to much money on a daily basis. I hope you make enough profit off me blunt to still roast your own coffee.Greg

nothing really, I was never much of a consumer. But I did just buy a new camera, and last month I blew $200 on Guitar Hero: WT for the wife and $400 on a kitchen floor (which was damn cheap!). Otherwise, I'm trying to sell my share of the 2nd house to a friend, which will free up a lot more cash, but I can still rent it if he's not interested.
Lucky for me most of the work we're doing here is mandated by the EPA, and there's enough to keep us busy for a good 5 years, so assuming we aren't facing the 2nd coming of Christ, I'll be fine.
I've actually been looking for investment opportunities.. the last 10 years of market growth have been basically wiped away, and as my friend put it, it's basically like I just got out of high school only now I have a good job and a lot more knowledge. This is probably the most significant financial event of our lifetimes so better make the best of it..

To keep on topic. I roll my own smokes.
Buys my way outta prison secks.
Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite
Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.
