finances finally turning around

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.04.30

Tonight after work, I did my usual monthly trick of shuffling money around between my line of credit, two bank accounts, and a credit card, but had the pleasure of adding a paycheque to the mix. The tide has turned.

How much so was driven home when I decided to splurge on an $8 cab ride home from the Canadian Tire rather than take the subway and walk the rest of the way. I was carrying a toaster oven, an iron, and an ironing board. And it was beginning to rain. And yet, the $8 would have seemed extravegent just weeks ago (let alone the $45 for a toaster oven!).

... I'll let you in on a secret. Big people are exactly the same as little people. They're selfish, squabbling children whose motivations are jealousy and greed. No one becomes big when the hit adulthood. They just become better at hiding how small they are.
