Being Right Feels Nice, Bu...

ROCSDT /Foter My brother and I were talking about how often we each find ourselves “right” in a disagreement with our partners. He said that he and his partner of a year actually started keeping track. So far, my brother has been wrong 4 times. This includes all those little “I think the restaurant is this way” sort of disagreements. My brother is the sort of person who...

Passive vs. Active Income

You do not need a mentor. -Chris Guillebeau This quote hit home for me yesterday. I’m reading The Art of Non-Conformity and there’s a lot of good thoughts to chew on in there. This idea of a mentor struck me because I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to make money, and how my role models have interacted with money. And honestly, I don’t think I know anyone who is very good at...

I Shot Myself

I don’t know if y’all know, but it’s really hard to take sexy pictures of oneself, if you have to have the camera in your hand to do it. I mean, most of you probably know that it’s hard to take sexy pictures of yourself no matter what the criteria are, but it’s about a billion time harder if you have to have the camera in your hand. I decided a while ago to take a set of pictures for...

Goals vs. Action Plans

Sometimes my partner and I have arguments. If you have a partner, you probably do too. If you have more than one partner, things are exponentially even more complicated. In the more than a decade that my partner and I have been together, I’ve noticed a trend in our arguments. Something like 90% of them are really just a confusion about semantics, and after we’ve gone around the same circle...

Trick Your Brain

What are the tricks you use to get yourself to do something you don’t want to do? Really, I want to know; I could use a few extra in my toolbox. For instance, when I think about writing this blog once a week forever and ever until the end of time, it kinda makes my brain hurt. What if I run out of things to say?! What if it’s a rainy, grey day and I just want to stay in bed forever and ever...

Roadtrip!

There are a lot of reasons for working for yourself. We all have our list of things that have made it worth it to us to put up with working long hours, and having our work bleed into our personal lives until it’s hard to tell the difference between the two, and dealing with the lack of health insurance and other perks of more mainstream employment. For me, one of the reasons that working for myself is...

Do What You Want

Have you ever had the experience of setting a goal for yourself, and then somewhere along the line you realize that some other approach might work better or make you happier? And then did you change routes, or did you stick to the original goal just because you said you would? If you switched, did you feel guilty about it for a while? It’s an interesting dilemma. Sometimes, you make a goal during a...

Show Me The Money

But that’s really not my point today. What I want to talk about is money. A lot of folks are kinda uncomfortable talking about money. Until just recently, I really was too. What started the shift for me, was a post that my friend Dave made on his Facebook. He asked his friends what books they would recommend to a young man just starting out in the world. Several dozen people responded, and the...
