About
Welcome.
This page will tell you a little about me and my blog.
I am married with 3 young children, and no more on the way (thank god). I have a metric ass-ton of bills to pay every month, and my nut is not getting smaller. My wife and children have stripped me of my time, energy, & sanity. I must uncover ways to reduce expenses and increase income before my family ruins me financially. And I want to retire before I’m 50.
This blog contains a brain dump of ideas for how to do that.
What I WILL do in this blog:
- Present ideas, no matter how Stupid, no matter how small, that help me save money and get closer to retirement.
- Be honest. I don’t mind discussing my net worth, income, and all manner of “taboo” topics.
- Occasionally smear my thoughts about the economy on the page. Oh, and I might talk about movies, boardgames, … or cheese. I love cheese.
- Use irony, metaphor, synechdoche, and tmesis to make my point, if I have to.
What I WILL NOT do in this blog:
- Reject ideas. The dumber the hack, the better. Send me your Stupid money hack and you could even get a free t-shirt.
- Provide inspirational blog entries designed to make you feel bad about your lack of motivation.
- Talk politics. At least, not if I can help it.
- Name names. I wish for myself and the people I discuss in this blog to remain anonymous.
- Use emoticons. So don’t ask.
Thank you for coming. If you want to join me on this journey towards financial Stupidity, you’re just going to have to subscribe.
