A promise of $600 is so sweet. Especially when you still have credit card debt from those car repairs last summer. (Don’t worry – it’s almost gone!) Lately I have been thinking that I really need to get a tighter grasp on my finances. I seem to have this complex… I think I am actually more successful that I really am. Like – buying things for people for no reason, as if I’m Bill Gates or something. I actually own Quicken software for my computer, and I need to start USING it. (By the way, I’m writing this in my blog so that someone can actually hold me to it.)
Delusions of grandeur lead to realizations of insufficiency.
So I gotsta start savin.

Good plan. I do Quicken and have for many years. We would not be without it. We are from a different era though and it is importantnot to see any red no matter what that requires. Take care. Oma
BAH! Artists are supposed to be rich in spirit and poor in finance. Did you know it takes 2 cents worth of copper to make a penny? The whole system’s a sham.For your publicity files: I saw your blog advertised in gchat.
