Remember friend.
A $5 iced latte a day is $25 a week, $100 a month, $1200 a year.
After 10 years.. that’s $12,000!
Which is still nowhere near enough to put a down payment on a house so enjoy your espresso in peace.
Why build a little free library when you can build a little free library with a fairy garden and geocache? Lord help me, I’ve gotten myself in deep. #littlefreelibrary#fairygarden#geocache
@TheMattPoppe at dinner… “What!?! Geneva drove all the way to work and no one told her it was closed!”
Me, “No! Because of weather?”
Matt, “yes… oh no! She brought breakfast for everyone”
Me, “Oh no!”
*in case any of you are worried that online friends don’t think about you IRL
@TheMattPoppe I always thought it was *interesting* that so many people in these spaces would say how there was no reason for the government to have these programs since “that is what the church is for”… meanwhile their staff were not even being paid a living wage.
@SwordView I for sure don’t think it is common anymore but I thought it *was* a common thing. Like how being home when the streetlights turned was a common experience.
I NEED TO KNOW: Was there a store in your town that displayed bounced checks as a sort of “we don’t accept checks from these people” shame board? Mentioned this to a friend like it was the common occurrence I thought it was and she looked at me like I had 3 heads.
@TheRichardClark Oh yeah, I definitely presented it as something stores *used* to do. She’d never heard of it and I started to wonder if it was just the small Midwest town I’d lived in. Everyone knew everyone and there’d be my friend’s parents’ check posted at the IGA. It felt all kinds of awful.
