I can't remember a time I've ever felt more liberated than when I lived in my truck before the YWCA. Actually, it was probably camping in a tent.  |
True, being frugal isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Nowadays I do my best to make sure I know my money is going to something with value, if I have to spend it... and if I need or want it. Or if I'm going to use it within the next month. I used to be a big old junk collector (still am a bit, but making that transition now). I'm proud of my growing ability to start to say 'No' to things, and knowing that if something bad does come up at least I'll have some cash stored away to deal with it.
Though, I would still like to see an article on 'Moneyless Limbo 101' too. I have heard that Steve was only employed once for 6 months before moving onto things he loved doing, such as the Dweeb dude. Sooo... how did he survive in the period when Dweeb wasn't making any money?
