new job
« on: August 05, 2004, 02:08:03 AM »
so basically I got a new job where I get paid a flat rate of 50 dollars a week, now seeing as It's 100% income, I dont need to buy gas or food or anything, and I'm up to 172 dollars, what do you all think I should buy?

Invest 20% of your income in...well, something that will get interest, even if it's only a little. Do that with every paycheck you get & just keep doing it. Savings are important. That still leaves you with a little over $135, anyway.

Aside from that, I could make a recommendation, but what sorts of things are you most interested in? A PC game? A console game? CCG stuff or tabletop wargame materials? A book or DVD?

I'm thinking on getting a copy of tales of symphonia, but thats only one weeks income,
and as for my hours I'm getting paid, not for any number of hours, just to be "on-call" if  my sister should need any babysitting, she calls me the ultimate *manny
*manny(man-ee) noun: a male nanny

Hah, yeah, I saw that in the paper HoM.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
