kyburgSomewhere on a trading card, I have the following special talent = "Making The Best Of It."
Since I've been handed the last swallow of milk in the carton 9 times out of 10, you acquire this skill or you end up the biggest l00zr on the planet.
You can't make a silk purse out of sow's ear - but you can certainly make something you can carry your money in. Won't look as good, but who cares - right?
It'll have style, instead. Uniqueness. Individuality.
And that's something money never buys.
You wonder how I can keep driving the POS I have - well, that's one way. Every month it keeps running, I get to keep nearly $400 in car payments and insurance.
Designer labels do nothing for me, and never did. Whoo-hoo. Whatever.
I'll always buy the Volkswagon over the Porche, the Chevy over the Cadillac.
I'm first. The rest is just swindling.
