Hi there.
What to do while waiting for the disclaimer
While I’m waiting to figure out what kind of disclaimer to put up, I thought I would show you what my inspiration for these financial ideas is.
No wonder the tagline for the site is bad ideas about money.
Anyhow, I just saw an episode of Til Debt Do Us Part on CNBC, and was surprised to hear how much the husband spent on beer — nearly as much as he spent on cigarettes, $300/month. Before the looney/greenback exchange rate went all topsy-turvy, I suppose that didn’t mean much.
But now it does. Either beer is a lot more expensive than I remember or this guy has more problems than just having to ask Gail Vaz-Oxlade for help with his checking account.
I mean, if you convert that to fifths of whiskey at $20, the guy is drinking 15 fifths a month. Almost four fifths of whiskey a week. The man needs to switch from beer to bourbon for economy’s sake, but I doubt Gail would give him that advice.
Of course he needs to also give up the cigs — that’s just disgusting and wasteful.
