| Hey guys,
Recently, I've been hooked onto this tv show on discovery channel called Man vs Wild. In this show a british guy, gets dropped of at random locations such as ice mountains, deserts, rain forests, volcanic areas, islands, and he has to survive and find civilization. This guy is so talented in surviving. He eats worms, fishes, snakes, chicken eggs, honey. He does crazy things such as eating a fish alive and eating the shell of an egg! He also builds his shelter and fire place to help him sleep well at night.
This show is very educational, dramatic and entertaining. You guys mus watch it!

| (1) Don't buy a home until near retirement, rent: few maintenance expenses, minimal insurance costs.
Plan to do mostly your own maintenance.
(2)
No major trips until retirement, eliminates cost of vacation travel. No
expensive activities, otherwise kid has to work to pay for said
activities, or tap into an activities allowance account with an
allotment credited at the beginning of every year (that at least allows
you to communicate to the kid the limit the admissible cost of
activities). No daycare cost once kid reaches school age, send to
public school. Kid pays for college, by paying from money saved
working, or taking out loans, if necessary, or doesn't go. Yes you need
to buy additional food. Clothing you can buy used from the bargain bin;
kid doesn't need all fancy new clothing, that'd be only for your
benefit/pride anyways.
In essence... practically no need to buy anything fancier than you would wear at home.
Toys
you can buy from the bargain bin, or at the fleamarket, with little
markup, while kid is young, some toys are helpful, especially for
exercise/entertainment -- but kids don't really need many toys, and
they don't need to be playing with toys all the time.
My kid
by age 13 would have to submit a quarterly accounting of their assets,
including the cost basis from their allowance and present "fair market
value" for each toy, and pay out a premium back to the household for
each toy they still own personally that is being stored for them in
their room, or closet space, beyond a "number of toys" allowance and a
dollar amount allowance, or pick what to
sell, anyways (either they sell it to a friend themselves, or sell it back to the household in
exchange
for 70% of the fair market value in toys allowance credits and 20% will
be used to increase the kid's "credit limit," the amount of revolving
credit you will extend to the kid for any kind of purchase, assuming
they are in good standing).
Sold assets will be stored at a
designated common area if sold to household. Household will vote keep
or sell on every asset, every year: unless a majority want an item, or
someone in the
household is willing to spend from their credits or cash and bid on the item more than 70% of the
fair market value, the item is to be sold.
Gifts from friends, or things the kid got for free through a commercial promotion will be less
expensive to keep, since the kid gets to record fair market value as the cost, even if it's brand
new,
and a special "gift credit" would be available only for items that were
gifts -- once the friend has signed a letter, proving that the item
wasn't actually bought brand new, from the kid's toys allowance
account).
Most discretionary kids' spending should be on
books and writing tools, and their "books" and supplies allowance will
be bigger than their "toys" allowance, so there would of course be a
"books credit" also, to exempt the child from a fee for owning books,
writing utensils, etc.

| So I've been working for 2 weeks now. Wow. I can't believe this! The people are work at nice and they are very helpful. I have been learning a lot about the agriculture industry. Also about how to think and solve problems. Also some excel, powerpoint and researching skills. While, all this is good. Some stuff i dislike about working is that I gotta sleep at like 12:00 or 1230am every night. Or else I will be too tired to go to work. I'm like an old man  . I also very look forward to weekends too.
But the transition to work wasn't as tough as I thought it would be. Maybe cuz its only my 2nd week. Maybe 2 months later. Ill think differently.
