| “I don’t need advice on how to dress in women’s clothing.” Andrew Bagley |
Naked people have little or no influence in our society, thank you Mark Twain, but clothing is still just peripheral credentials. Which is why I’ve invited a resident etiquette expert to assist us in polishing the unabridged package.
Below is the opening excerpt of a 100 item essay which has come to be known as The Bagley’s Previously Unwritten Laws of Behavior and Conduct. Penned by my adolescent beloved, every misspelling is authentic.
I can attest to the earnest behind this list. On our honeymoon I suggested a hot chocolate, my newly wed husband responded that perhaps we should throw four dollars out the window instead.
Persistent pressure has loosened my loved one’s purse strings ever so slightly, but he’s still one of the best budgeters I know. And below are a few updates to his budgeting philosophy
- Never pay a late fee or fine
No one’s life was ever enriched by a cell phone overage - Get it from the library
You’ll end up with more money and less stuff to store - Get your wife to cut your hair
Or cut it yourself and then teach her how to do it - Share a meal and order water
Fat wallets are much healthier - Wait till it comes to video
You won’t have to sneak in your own popcorn and candy or pay a babysitter
Obviously budgeting can never account for everything as there are often unexpected expenditures one must make from time to time and, in situations like this, loans are not an unreasonable consideration. Often, guarantor loans are expensive so it’s worth comparing available loans to find the best deals.
I too like to save money, mostly so I can spend on stuff I really, really want like yoga classes in Costa Rica and well planned adoption finalization parties and their accompanying Kate Spade uniforms.
But what do you do to save money?
Feed me fashionably fresh
