Did u remember to send Christmas Cards..?

For those of us on a budget, we sometimes must send our usual Christmas Cards in lieu of our usual presents.
This year, I'm reigning it in, and proud of it.
In fact, I am so excited about my future, I would like to share w/u what made it possible:

FPU
Credit card debt?
Student loan debt?
'House-poor'?
'Car-poor'?

Yes, I used to do affiliate marketing, but wasn't able to stay with it,
and my debt remained.
This is not, and was not, any part of my affiliate marketing.
This is not another financial guru.

This is a Christian guy.
Christians aren't necessarily always the best financiers.
And bankers aren't always theologians.

I found this guy on Siriusxm radio, and figured he was going to blather on
about saving money and getting more credit cards.
He sounded good. Really solid. But I wasn't hooked.
Then he took calls, and he'd pray for the callers in financial troubles.
That caught my attention.

He said he was sending some of them to his classes.
I waited.
At the end of the call, he informed audience that he hoped that caller would attend the Financial Peace University classes.

I tried it for myself.
It works, and it saved my future.
Saving money can save marriages, and it sounds like his specialty is saving marriages.
And a bit shocking because he shows just how much money is mentioned in the Bible, and not negatively either!

I'd like to share this here for the holidays;
Financial Peace University 

If the at-home classes were free, I'd send them for free, but they cost a couple of hundred dollars
and classes are held around the country in churches and community centers.
In the spirit of Gideon bibles, this is the best I can do.

Happy Black Friday

Not exactly sure why it is called Black Friday, but I didn't get 'Happy Thanksgiving' in on time, so this is the next best thing.
Besides, it should be called Happy Post-Thanksgiving Day or something, because 'Black Friday' has awesome pre-Christmas sales, no?
Wikipedia says the following;
'Many stores offer highly promoted sales on Black Friday and open very early, such as at midnight, or may even start their sales at some time on Thanksgiving. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but California and some other states observe "The Day After Thanksgiving" as a holiday for state government employees, sometimes in lieu of another federal holiday, such as Columbus Day. Many non-retail employees and schools have both Thanksgiving and the following Friday off, which, along with the following regular weekend, makes it a four-day weekend, thereby increasing the number of potential shoppers.'  
Still doesn't explain it very well, does it?

4-day Friday? 
4-day Weekend?
Pre-Christmas Friday? 
Mighty Friday? 
Untidy Friday? 

Anyway, the Holidays are upon us!
Whether it is a newly created family by choice,
or the family Gd gave us, it is a brief time for gratitude.
It could be better, it could be worse, but it is temporary.

I really, really want to sell this vending route...

I really want to sell this circuit.
But I can't!
It's too good of a route.
The machines are pristine and kept clean.
Finally settled in to a regular routine.

The income is slow, but that's only because I wait.
Every time I go to sell the route, I'd best refill and empty
the machines at the same time.
Then I remember that the track is paid for.
Except for monthly donations, it costs me nothing.
The responsibility is definitely distracting from my driving gigs, tho.

The regular donations to HSUS have converted over to the
Wildlife Waystation in California, only because I couldn't control the
monthly fees in HSUS online.

It is the wildlife that suffers most from the encroachment of
civilizations. 
Researching wildlife rescues in Texas is difficult since the focus is
on the animals, and finances get neglected, and so it continues...

Relocating...

Not me, my machines are relocating!
Some of them, not all of them.
Actually, am constantly in the process of placing machines
hither and thither.
On the road either way...

Just an Occasional FYI...

Okay, so I purchased one of those 'ionic foot spas' at the fair.
Yes, I paid over $1000 for it.
I hurt my back, got scared, and bought it.
Found out u can get one at Walmart for $50.
Then I found out it was a scam.
Then I found out that not only does it produce the same
results in water whether feet are in it or not, but the metallic
reaction to salt produces some sort of hexane,
that same toxic stuff in the Erin Brokovitch movie...
I swear I thought I had felt better there for a minute.
Bummer.
Young & dumb is cute.
Old and dumb is annoying.
Back to work regardless.
Thank Gd for prayer...

I'm Exhausted, but in a good way...

There's something to be said for couples in business.
I have heard a few bad stories between partners,
but not as many between couples, altho I'm sure it's not rare.
Anyway, as a single person, there's no time to do anything!
I sure enjoy working, tho. It's a saving grace.
Spending is fun, but income coming in is rewarding.
I tended machines Monday, and look forward to checking in
with the next 4 locations after the weekend this Monday.

I'd like to sell my route

This is such a good route that I cannot sell it, but sure wish I could.
If u were a salesman, you could sell gum/candy/charities, but I don't
sell well, so it's slow-going.
Good machines, good people, no sales skills...

Thanku!

For those of u who help animals, thanku..!

Still tending route...

Hello bloggers!
  I used to finish my route in about 1-3 days.
Because I have added several additional driving jobs, I am tending the route within around 1-3 weeks; rather than all of them in a day, it is a few machines a day.
From what I have seen so far, no one is getting neglected at all.
As always, feedback appreciated!
  Regards,
     -ay-
