Econ 101

I just bought a 2nd hand phone off of some posting on the internet's garage sale: Craigs List, and I'm really happy with the purchase. $65 got me one of those rad Sony Ericsson non-flip phones that's worlds above my old school Moto. Now I have camera, color screen, and Bluetooth to get my proper nerd on. And I like buying used items like cars, phones, and clothes, because on a certain level, it's better for the environment for people to wring every last ounce of life from a non-biodegradable product than to have it sitting in a landfill for the next 1,000 years. However, as a piece of advice for those selling or buying phones 2nd hand: delete all your photos first! There were some rated R pics on the phone, which on a dude level, is kinda cool. I mean, who doesn't like seeing a nice rack? But then I have to think that this phone was around all that rated R-ness, and now I'm holding it to my face.

When playing the role of Chief Financial Officer for Automaton, it's important for me to responsibly manage my company's funds as effectively as possible to ensure growth and stability. These same principles should apply to personal finance management. That said, I rocked on into Target and got myself that Napoleon Dynamite talking keychain I've wanted for so long. As a CFO, I consider this an intelligent purchase. I mean, hey, if i'm gonna be mistaken for a highschool student, I might as well act like one from time to time. "I like your sleeves. They're really big."

That's too funny re: the pictures...I can only imagine what was on that phone. But good to know, I'll have to remember that when I turn my camera phone in for a new one. ;) Haha.

P.S. I'm 26 and I'm always mistaken for 15 or 16. Might as well embrace it and start rocking the pigtails and hightops!
