Intrigue! Excitement! Thrills, Spills, and Paid Bills!
Quote of the day: "If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."- Dorothy Parker
It's so exciting being terrible at managing your finances. Every day is literally a new opportunity and/or challenge. Am I going to buy a new video game (Mass Effect) today (Sunday)? Am I going to dine at the finest restaurants (Chipotle Mexican Grill, McDonald's) the area (Dayton, Ohio) has to offer? Or perhaps am I going to be challenged (infuriated) by my wonderful (shitty) bank leveraging (charging me) a few minute fees (hundred bucks worth) because of an overdraft caused by an unauthorized charge to my account? You just never know, and it's so fucking exciting.
Some things I'm not good at are tracking my expenses. My current lifestyle is that I get a chunk of money once per month, and then a much larger chunk a few times per year. At those times, I catch up on all of my bills, buy a few neat things, eat food that is not microwaved or boiled on my classic (old and busted) stove, and just generally feel good about things and not be stressed or worried about money. Then, things start catching up, and it's like Russian Roulette. Every time I check my bank account, I half-expect to be hundreds of dollars in the hole. It's so exciting! Like narrowly avoiding a car accident on an icy highway, for instance.
Now, before you financial wizards start giving me guff, save your breath! I'm a know-it-all! I know every piece of financial advice that can possibly be given to me, but I am somehow incapable of carrying any of it out. You will quite surely be wasting your words!
Join me. Join the dark (checking account) side of financial security. You'll wake up every morning with a true sense of adventure like a wily old mine worker in 1849 (but with less potential upside). The only downside is that you will probably have to start eating (and possibly feeding your family) ramen noodles at least 22 days out of the month... and that's only a downside if you don't like ramen. People like that are a myth anyway, so that means there's no downside! It's state law!

What People Are Saying:
"Okay okay okay. Here's the thing.. Sinja's alarm clock is the entire Master of Puppets album. He doesn't wake up until the last note is played. And after that, Sinja eats a bowl of razorblades and Wild Turkey. Washed down with an ice cold glass of lava. Sinja defies physical properties."- TheSarge
