Monday Mission 3.31
Electronic Withdrawl
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.31
1. When you take a vacation, do you ever suffer from Internet withdrawal? Or maybe the nagging urge to blog or read blogs? Or are you glad to be away?
Even if i’m in the most remote of locations, I’ll try to spend a few minutes checking email at the very least. I’ll at least check out what’s new at Red Vs. Blue.
2. Have you ever been “furloughed” (told to take time off work without pay) or laid off? How did that impact your family dynamics? Your finances? If not to you, have you seen it happen to anyone you know? How did they handle it?
I was fired for being “Un-American” once. That was funny.
3. If you fell on hard times, what is are some non-essential reoccurring luxury expenses (cable TV, TiVo subscription, cigarettes, high-speed net connection, newspaper, daily Starbucks coffee, etc.) you would give up to save money?
I would probably get rid of my telephone before the ‘net connection, but other than that I’d just cut down on those other luxuries like Fast Food, Candy, and other miscellaneous things that suck my wallet dry.
4. On the same thought, what is the one non-essential expense you would NOT give up?
It’d have to be the cable modem. I don’t think I could EVER go back to dial-up, but I suppose if things got absolutely bad I could. I wouldn’t like it though.
5. Would you ever ask your family (parents, in-laws, relatives) for financial assistance? What would be some of your concerns about asking for help? Have you ever asked for it before? Did it go well?
Well my grandfather always made sure to help when he could. He took care of me and my mom for my entire life, and never made me feel bad when I needed money. I don’t like asking for money, and only do it if I absolutely have to (when I was going to college, mostly.)
6. Has a friend or relative ever borrowed money from you? Who were they and how much did they want? Did you ever get paid back, or did it matter? Did you feel compelled to keep an eye on them to see if they spent it wisely?
Well I had a friend owe me money a long time ago over an unfortunate incident, and it kind of turned me into a big jerk. There was some other things going on at the time that added to it, but it was still no excuse for the attitude. I almost lost that friend because of that.
7. Imagine you won a tax-free gift of $7,000. The only stipulation on the gift is that it must not be invested or saved, and must be spent before 2004. How would you use the money?
Can we say “Best Buy Shopping Spree”? Screw that, Amazon delivers! Or maybe a nice down payment on a new VW Jetta? 
BONUS: Whatever happened to unity?
Huh?
