I’ve never been bad with my money per say
I just never cared.
My way of thinking has always been if I’ve got shelter, healthy food in the fridge, and can afford to enjoy the simple things in life I love then I’m happy;
art, music, travel, conversations, learning.
But lately.. I don’t know.. I feel the urge to spread my wings, build something; investing, starting corporation, and nonprofit, writing my book, selling art, collaborating with people, all this getting my ducks in a row beginning with strengthening my credit.

This’ll be quite the challenge since all I make is SSI and I’m $1500 in default from being young and stupid, but I’ve got an idea what to do next..

I already have checking with both Chase and B of A.
I applied for a secured credit card with B of A.
I opened a savings account with an e-bank that has excellent interest.
As soon as I get approved for that credit card I’ll apply for financing on a video camera.

It finally came!
IT FINALLY CAME!!
My Ruby Video Magnifier!
7.7 ounces of toss-it-in-your-backpack-and-go amazing!!

Never again will I leave a library sulking that every book I want to read isn’t available in large print or audio!

The literary world is my oyster again!

Well, packing up my first apartment since I moved to Washington over a year ago.

I don’t really care about renting this house. I’ll probably sign myself off the lease in a year, go back on the road. But really, what matters is soon my friend will have a home to build the life she wants for her and her son. I’m glad to offer her this opportunity. Everyone deserves a leg up in life, you know?
