goddamnit i hate money.
first thing i think of when i wake up in the morning is how much money i'm going to have to spend in the coming week.
then that makes the second thing i think about how mad i am at my gf for still not having a decent paying job after being in the same dead-end piece of shit retail thing for 2.5 years.
then i think about how i have a totally awesome paying job, but because i support two people on my income i'm broke as fuck and can't afford to buy the beer i want to drink, buy the food i want to eat, buy the weed i wanna smoke, buy the tickets for all the shows i wanna go to... i'm eating pasta and drinking miller hi life and smoking shitty outdo and not seeing any live music at least until the fifth of next month.
so yeah, how awesome do you guys think money is? do you enjoy having it? do you enjoy not having it? other than making enough of it to live on, how the fuck do you not make this stupid shit run your life and occupy almost every waking thought???

i think about it a fair bit .
so i'm trying to grow food, so i can have fresher nosh and save money too.and i insulated my room so I spend less on heating.
things like toilet roll,i think: Why did i pay 5000 grands on that posh bog roll when I could have got it from a cheap store? all tiny savings adds up at the end of the month.
anyway the more i save, the less i worry. that’s a tip . try and save and use less too, then your fave beer is far more reachable.

i make enough to pay the bills and avoid acquiring dependent lifeforms. i value free time more than money (to a point). so i pretend i don't have any money, just bills that magically take care of themself. then every once in a while i look in my bank account and i see i have NINE HUNDRED DOLLA as jnasato might say, at that point i sink the excess into some new music or video or computer equipment, or maybe donating to aphex twin/phobiazero to make xlt dedicated

speaking of money, can any of you guess how much this trendy item sells for in dubai?
Answer: $550 - $850 per unit
Just sayin... I know some asshole who's flying in from london every month and making over 20,000 squid per visit.. with a diplomatic passport of course so he doesn't even need to shove it all up his butt, he just throws them into his bag.

money is being more annoying today than usual. i've had to spend most of the day working instead of fixing my horrible dull ceephax review video, and now that i'm finally into it my computer reminds me that it chokes on anything more than a track or two in 720p. and i can't afford a faster one, right now.

Overclock your pc epics.
you may be able to get 10 -20 percent more speed if your bios is any good.
See if you can alter the frequencies in the bios . (but if you do , monitor cpu temperature - realtemp is good and test the pc with prime95 to see if it is stable).

i had it overclocked for a while, but then the bios got reset after i left it unplugged for a month, and i never bothered to put it back. didn't make any noticeable difference. i need another four cores, not a gentle bump.
wouldn't advise overclocking unless you're proper neckbeard. it's very easy to fry things if you're careless or poorly informed.

Money feels great when you have a lot to spend but money sucks big time when you haven't got any. Money influences people way to much, there should be a solution for that but it's still not there yet unfortunately.

Just buy the most cheap shit possible. When I was low on cash, I'd buy the cheapest high nutrient foods, like pasta, eggs, rice, discount older veggies, etc. Living like this for awhile- if money is coming in- can result in quite a lot of savings. And also live somewhere where the rent is dirt cheap. I also used to grow my own ganj, so I had unlimited smoke for cheap.
Money can bring out the worst in people, but also, it can bring out the best. Like right now, if I had a few hundred thousand dowlaz, I'd be happier. Not cuz the money- duh!- but cuz I'd be traveling more, going to more events, and be able to spend more time with friends, without having to do nothing.

thanks for all the inputz, guyz!
i've actually been doing a lot of these things already: been eating pretty much pasta exclusively for the last few weeks, not going to any shows, buying the cheapest beer possible, and taking my work intake of ganja from 3 joints to 1 joint a day (i'd grow it myself but i have no room and have friends who are excellent horticulturalists - however, i do have a homebrew kit i need to get working on!)
the big thing for me was i was on unemployment for a long time, and seriously broke before that, but then i got this job that paid great and was living in super cheap housing and had absurd purchasing power, which i admittedly got really used to.
now we got kicked out of our old super cheap spot (no fault of our own, roommates decided to stop paying rent and the landlord did not want it becoming a squat again) so we had to move and found our own little place, which is awesome, but almost 2x as much rent as we were paying before.
so it's really just a serious adjustment period for me - i went from not ever having to check my bank account and being able to fire up a joint whenever i want to having to scrounge like i'm on the dole again even tho im working 40 hours.
oh, and for the record, i don't hate my girl, she's awesome, just sometimes needs a fucking fire lit under her ass.
man, i was really in a rotten fucking mood a couple days ago...

i remember being shipped off to a field office for a few weeks, and i had the same conversation with 2/3 of the people there:
"do you have kids?"
"no"
"don't start!"
most mornings they would tell stories of how they woke up to find their kids had smeared cottage cheese all over the kitchen. it's hard to tell if they were actually miserable or if complaining about their kids was just local culture.
in any case, i've decided to take their advice. for now.
