i clean my microwave by putting a bowl of water with a few cut up lemmons in it ,put it on 5 mins ,

leave it in for a good 2 min or so let it get all steamed up then wipe it out.

 

repeat this process with a cap full of white vinigar to the mix if you still got some funky food smells in there still.

"It's not how much you make but how much you spend"

 

something an older gentlemen told me today.. we were talking about saving money and stuff like that.. he said his father told that to him a lot when he was growing up. It's good to keep things simple and not have to many things. Keep life simple and don't over complicate everything

There's still nasty spills in it, regardless of if it's sterile or not. I will do that water/lemon trick today...

 

surprisingly enough it actually does work. and speaking of microwaves....

not sure if its been posted in here but. if ever you come across a pair of kicks

that are just too fucking small but not pass-able....stick them shits in the microwaves

for like 45 seconds....a minute + depending on heat tolerance and needed shoe reform.

take em out and stick yer feet in. walk around and take em off and bend them shits.

works every time.

 

 

hell. for all i know. i might have been the one to post about this in the past.

horse shit

 

i was actually just thinking about how UNTRUE this is,

like literally the other day. it doesnt matter where the

money's going, its completely matters where/how its coming in.

 

in this economy, and in this LIFE, a dollar is getting harder

and harder to come by, no ones spending, no ones offering

any help, the gap between rich and poor has widened into

a hopeless chasm thats only getting wider and were left over

here scrambling for whatevers left. its like a poker game where

one asshole took most of the money and cashed out, leaving

the rest of the table just trying to get at whatever small stacks

are left on the table.

 

that being said, yeah, saving your money and making sensible

purchases, both in terms of how they benefit you and how they

benefit the rest of the community, wont hurt.. but it wont save you either.

If you haven't read Bastiat's "tale of the 2 brothers" you should.

Insightful!

 

It definitely is how much you make. I need to make rent, utilities, buy groceries, school shit, a monthly Metrocard, and still have something to do cool things with my social network now and then.

 

Aside from that last part, it's all very essential, and I barely make ends meet. So...nope.

we gave up heating the house for the past 3 years and i've never had AC or cable

and i've found some creative ways around doing lots of laundry or going out.

in 2010 i made a resolution to stop shopping and i haven't bought any clothes or 'stuff' since.

i'm down to a grocery budget of about $35/week

one nice thing about owning your own home and being an anti-social who hates drinking and loves cooking, life is cheaper.

 

my retirement fund is looking ok, hopefully it weathers the numerous crashes it'll likely see before i actually retire.
