MONEY, MONEY, HONEY-read

My dream has always been to make money. I have always thought about starting a business. I just NEVER did. I guess I don’t really want it bad enough. I think if someone offered me a job I would probably take it. But who is going to do that?

My excuses for not going out and finding a job are:

My French is not very good
I am in Florida for three months so who will hire me on those conditions
I have no motivation or ambition
I don’t know what kind of job I could do
Would anyone hire a 65 year old?
I think about selling on Ebay or opening a dollar store online but I never pursue it.
I don’t really need more money. I just always feel guilty spending money because my hubby always makes it sound like I am spending too much and I don’t know enough about my financial situation. He always try to explain things to me but it is never clear enough. I always think he is hiding something and he probably isn’t.
It would probably be fun to have someone to go into business with but that could be tricky. I think I should just spend less and that’s what I am going to try to do. I have way too much stuff anyways.
Tonight I was with friends. We went to a comedy club to help our friend raise money for breast cancer. IT WAS SUPER NOISY! The comedians told filthy jokes. We won’t go back.
Here’s one joke:

A bus driver gets bored so he turns up the heat on the bus.

The people get lethargic and fall asleep. He gets on the microphone and asks everyone if his "dick" is big. He stomps on the brake and everyone’s head moves up and down!!!! Get it???
I am not sure if I’ll bowl again. This morning I took an ADVIL and my knee felt pretty good while bowling but it has been hurting me more all day. I think I might just be aggravating it so will stop. I guess I’ll see how I am later on in the weekend.
Time to read some entries and go to bed. GOODNIGHT!

You should really try selling stuff on ebay. It is really easy, and you can get rid of some of the stuff you don’t want anymore at the same time.

If you haven’t worked by now, I don’t think you ever will! I hope you don’t take that wrong. But it just isn’t in you. Now, take my advice, apply yourself, take notes and figure out the finances. Even if you made a ton of money, it still wouldn’t fix the problem…the problem is that you just don’t know how much money you have!(It’s obviously a lot!)

maybe you could find some volunteer work.. that will enable you to learn a few new skills and may eventually lead to something with an income. Howver, its hardly likely at 65, and it seems like you really don’t need to make the money…maybe just do something useful in a volunteer capacity…that brings its own rewards. hugs P

I’m thankful to NOT have to have a job! Though I have had jobs before….that’s part of what makes me thankful to not have one now! I bet you would enjoy working in a small artsy-type store or bookstore. Lots of older people work, so they must get hired. hugs, Weesprite

I think that volunteer work would be good for you. Help out at a boys and girls club .. not like at a hospital where its depressing and full of sick people. I don’t think that you’d enjoy that but there has to be something you could do that would make you happy besides spending money. take care of you

My dad just finished his bowling league and his team won the championship for the year. His last series this past Tues. was about 520 or so, his games were about 175,185,175. He is blind and has to ask what pins are left after he throws his first ball. He is busy golfing now. high 40’s for 9 holes. I always lie to him about where his ball is, makes for a longs round, have fun…dan

RYN: Just between you and me our role as a wife is to spend their money as they bring home the cheque…. But seriously we have to love them back just as much as they love us. But I figure if you have been married as long as you have it’s kinda of a give in that he isn’t going to leave….but to tall him that you love him would probally add to his ego.
