My birthday is coming up and I guess it signals a new start. I did some banking today and realized just how broke I am. I made some calls to my investment firm and told them to move some money out of my retirement savings for me. They gave me the low down on withholding tax, which I may get back based on my current Zero $$ Annual Income, and either way, it’s not all that bad. So come next week, my debts will be paid and I’ll have some scratch back in the coffers to keep this thing alive. Should be just in time for my birthday, when I think I’ll buy myself a real dinner, instead of beans from a can.
Being broke is also like time and space; it’s relative. And thanks to the real job I used to have, I’m still doing all right. Good lesson to not knock real jobs, since they sometimes serve a real purpose somewhere down the line.
Oh and considering I’m broke but not broken, I bought a new digital camera to ensure more blog visuals. Enjoy!
peace,
