hookers and blow budget

HOOKERS AND BLOW BUDGET

How about reducing your budget drastically, as a way of getting ready for increased unemployment and worse inflation?  I don’t think anyone needs to reduce their urban budget just to be able to prep.  My goodness, prepping is so cheap it is laughable.  Not that I want everyone to prep.  I like my wheat and my reloading components nice and cheap as they are.  Really, I don’t care if everyone prepped.  Because they would STILL come after my stuff.  Because most people are retarded.  And retards stock the wrong supplies.  Wasting it, and then there not being enough and then they bother me anyway.

With all due respect to those advocating “just a few hundred rounds, because you won’t last past the first firefight”, do you have any clue how poor of a shot most people are?  And 99% of those think suppressive and covering fire is a great idea, because they heard some military guys did it.  Yeah, Spanky, they also run TOWARDS fire.  Are you sure these are the guys you want advice from?  They also think being one of the biggest users of petroleum by organization in the world isn’t a problem.  Do you hear Jesus weeping?

*

Anyway, I shan’t focus on the fallacy of “if everyone prepped we’d all be safer”, or discuss when you should stop prepping for the apocalypse and start just worrying about this economic collapse.  Even if you were stacking silver and ammo, and filling plastic jugs with wheat every day, prepping still wouldn’t take that much of your income.  Why?  Because even going crazy with prepping, and I mean hog wild like with junk land and alternate energy, you wouldn’t come close to half of what a cheap new car costs. 

*

Simply, most people live as if their budget included cocaine and prostitutes.  And I don’t mean crack whores and meth, as cheap as those can be relatively.  I mean the good old fashion 1980’s Miami Vice era classy hookers and real cocaine.  Think about that for a second.  The middle class used to be able to party with decent drugs.  I mean, sure, quality has been going down for fifty years.  The LSD I got hold of back in the day had almost no hallucinogenic properties.  The best thing it was for was allowing you to drink all night without passing out.

*

But I’m talking about the financial wherewithal to have the extra cash to party, if one so desired.  Now?  The best most people can do is stay on antidepressants hopefully they can score from their insurance policy ( come to think of it… is that why you are all so insistent you must keep your overpriced under performing health insurance? ).  Now it’s a seriously wild weekend if you can afford a Little Caesars $6 pie and a $2 Redbox rental.  Damn, now I want pizza, even one with a total of sixteen pieces of pepperoni and less cheese than a sandwich.

*

I won’t deny that living in the city is insanely expensive.  And living anywhere is expensive if you live a conventional standard of living.  But I also know you can live on far less, if you so desire.  And you don’t even have to desire because “we are all going to die!”.  How about simply being able to live on Social Security instead of working until you die?  That alone would get me motivated, especially seeing these sad sacks in their upper sixties or even their seventies still sucking corporate ass for a pittance. 

*

Talk about Charlie Brown continuing to fall for the old football gag.  Don’t these senior pukes realize they are being worked into an earlier grave?  If you are working for your medical insurance, you might be better off without it.  If you are working for rent, at that age, where did your planning go wrong?  I’m not trying to be offensive.  My parents are in that situation, even if it is self-inflicted.  I’m simply asking, doesn’t that motivate you to change your life style?  How exactly are you spending fifty grand a year?  And still not making ends meet?

*

And good Dog, I am NOT talking about pussy steps like cancelling the cable and not drinking Starbucks.  That is chump change.  I’m still living on my wages from thirty years ago, because even then I kept my spending at half of my minimum wage job and had the other half as disposable fun money.  Even when I didn’t have a car, or a bike, I just walked the half hour to Wally and got a taxi home with the months groceries.  When rent got high, I took in roommates.  When I had less coming in I ate cheaper.  When I had extra I still lived like that and invested in preps.

*

None of this is hard.  My daughter took eight years to get her degree, working the whole time ( at usually poor wages, it being a tourist town ) and living in the actual “I hear gunshots every night” ghetto.  That crazy bitch has bigger balls than me.  Granted, her generation thinks a phone is an actual necessity, but by and large she lived poor.  Why do you think it sucks to live like you are a college student, decades later?  You just need to reward yourself for doing so, but in a non-monetary manner.

*

For most workers, they squeeze out a pittance from their paycheck and that is their reward for working.  All the parasites get the rest.  And they spend 0% of the time grateful and 100% of the time trying to get more from you.  That includes the spouse, the kids, the boss, the landlord, tax collector and everyone else.  Kids don’t NEED your money, even if they think they do. You shelter them, feed them, and try to train some of the dumb ass out of them.  While showing them love.  If they want money, go earn it you lazy twat. 

*

Your best bet is to need and to earn far less money, and shifting your focus to doing what you love to do.  No, not snorting coke off a hookers deliciously smooth ass.  Monetize your passion.  It is all part of prepping, getting to that self-employed place so you can move anywhere.  The lifestyle while you work two jobs?  Drastically reduce it.  You won’t care as you are busy building your dream.  And it doesn’t even matter if that self employment never works.  The journey is more important than the destination. 

*

Then, as you and your spouse’s hours are cut and prices skyrocket, you have insulated yourself from that, as a bonus.  Now, granted, you have Evil Spouse to deal with.  Hey, that is your problem.  You married the broad.  How exactly does she propose keeping herself in this lifestyle as the economy is taking a big squishy?  If you wait until you are forced to drastically cut the budget, things will not be as pleasant.  Does she love you, or your wallet?  I know the answer-do you?  We’ve had these discussions before.  I’m sure many of you are sitting pretty. 

*

This is just targeting the new dudes who think prepping is MRE’s and AR’s ( with FLIR’s-duh! ).  If you don’t want to leave the city or the nice paycheck, at least live like a peasant and invest the money now while you can.  And be ready for the crap show that cometh.
