How to Lose Money in 30 Days....


Now this is a great story. I haven't updated the blog lately, because I've been busy with adjusting to the new gig and everything. But this story is pure greatness. Now I love my Amy, but this is so her luck, I can't help but laugh. OK, so every other week Amy and I go to the library to get some new books, music and movies, because they are FOC, and that's OK with me. So Amy is looking through the books and finds this book she had heard about by Suze Orman called "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke". She checked it out with hopes of finding some tips on how to save a little money here and there. Good intentions right? I though so. So Amy has a history of having horrible luck with cars. Trust me she is cursed. So we go to Houston in my truck over the weekend. This particular weekend was the weekend it rained for 3 days straight. (We missed all of it) So now Amy's car, has a leak somehow where if it rains, there will be standing water in the back seat floorboard. Guess where she left the book, "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke". That's right, in the only floorboard that leaves standing water after it rains... So now we get home and find the book floating in a lovely puddle. The book is ruined.

We go to the library and they tell her that not only must she buy a new book called, "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke", but also the late fees as it was late, and return the soaked version of "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke". So we went to Barnes and Nobles and got the book, and she returned it the next day but this library didn't make her pay the fine or return the "enhanced" version thank goodness. So now we have a mildew enhanced version of "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke" by Suze Orman if anyone would like to check it out from our library. Its a reasonable rate and will go to the Amy's Bad Luck Fund that in turn goes to #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Suze Orman of The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke fame.
