Project No Spending Money: Day 30

Today I spent $10 eating out, my meal costed $7.40 for delicious Vietnamese pho (type of soup) with a can of root beer. Then I walked into a bubble tea shop (think Booster Juice but more Asian), talked to the waitress and used the washroom.

There was not 1, but 2 brand new tiolet rolls! I was about to steal it but then I realize I shouldn't, stealing isn't nice. Especially if it's low-tier tiolet paper. Then I was about to steal the nice looking bottle of hand soap but I inspected it and -- what the heck? -- looks like a floating string of semen in it. So ... no soap, thanks.

Total money spent: $10 (tipped the waitress $2)

THINGS I LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIMENT

1. Who needs stuff. You need stuff?: I was seriously going to buy 2 new 22 inch monitor, a new computer, new chair and table for my home office. Now that I think of it, I should donate that money to charity instead. Who needs money? The poor.

2. You don't need to spend money to be happy. The funniest time I had was sitting in a car with my friends and talking while we wait for the fire trunk to stop the alarm in the mall. LOL.

3. How to almost die in a car crash: never get in a car with a guy who drives for 20 minutes without touching the steering wheel. He was driving while texting on his black berry with two hands. WTF?! Then the other driver falls asleep behind the wheel and it could've been 5 death bodies in the car wreck.

4. The $10,000.00 tip (vices are expensive). This means alochol, gambling and adult club. Stay away from those! Good thing I don't smoke. On the other hand, when I wentto the adult club I paid $10 for cover charge and didn't drink beer. Ordering tap water at the club is the way to go.

5. How to life stress free in 1, 2, 3: this means cutting off people in your life that takes your time and energy. I completely cut off communication with someone I knew for 7 years. Feels good man. It means reducing useless meanings, useless activities. This is why I never check facebook, and I don't use twitter or a cell phone for that matter.

6. Make money for lazy people: During the past 30 days I mostly played poker and did very little actual work -- and you know what? Winning in POKER is actually hard work and time consuming. SO I QUIT! So I'm going right back to Internet Marketing. Because nothing beats making money while you sleep. BTW, shout out to Full Tilt poker for sending a check for $200 every month. I think I did some promotion for you guys a year ago. ($200 is good for beer monies)

... and that's all I got for now. Thanks for reading. I might do a 30 Day Project when I decide to live in the car.
