ponyqueen reads moneymagazine in her spare time.
I also listen to financial podcasts
My BF referrs to my ponies as "tulip bulbs". Most people have no idea what he's talking about and he was surprised I knew the reference.
I know and love that tulip story! History is crazy.
Over in the Brag Arena it was mentioned that a Rapunzel was donated to goodwill (then send to auction but that's beside my point). Someone said something like 'man, wish I worked at goodwill'. It's really easy to feel this way about a lot of things- wanting to work at whatever store to get discounts on the things you like, but more often then not those jobs are going to pay minimum wage. More important is to make your full-time job something that pays more, period. Then after a few weeks you'll have enough money to not only buy the extra things you like that your store sells, but your US federal bank notes will also be accepted in
any store in any state and in many countries!
