Trying To Make A Buck

Not trying to mind anyone's business or anything but learn from me. Make a budget. Stick to it. Save some money! Being very laid back about money has gotten me nowhere fast. Oh it sounds cool! "Money doesn't matter to me that much." Tons of money doesn't matter that much to me, true. Preparing for the future does not end up in that category. Yes, there is a future whether you or I like that or not and it does finally arrive right on time. Folks tried to tell me. But, I was terminally hip and fatally cool (and that is a quote from a book...not my own words). I made jokes, put off paying attention to any sound advice from well-meaning people and here I am today trying to make a buck. I have retirement. I also have too many bills I created while paying no attention to the fact that I might actually live to be 61. Don't get me wrong! I am not angry. I'm cool. I like my job working from home. I can, however, be a warning signal to anyone who is as cavalier as I have been the majority of my life. I don't require much to be happy. I like my life simple. I would like myself a bit better if I had shown better judgement. It's the truth. No skirting around the issue. Folks tell us things for our own good and they are right. I didn't listen. Maybe I was in a psychological funk or incapable of making a life out of what I had chosen for myself. Even a blind person can hear the train whistle blow. I am your train whistle. Listen up when grown folks be talking. Or call me later for the number of the company I work for these days. They are nice people. O.K. Enough of my histrionics...another word for I tend to get a little carried away with myself. All's I'm saying is listen up and try things another way when people try to help you. that's all. love ya. mean it.
