If someone turned down 1.5 million dollars on a 2-year old house because "it's our first house" I'd probably divorce them. You can literally move down the street, have a paid off house, and make 28k a year from dividends at age 30. It's not even a family house or historic area or anything. It's literally a teardown they bought 2 years ago.

Why do people with no money say they're ready to pursue their passions? Do they think other people aren't pursuing their passions because they're just not ready for it yet?

Christ, they spend over $600/mo on weed and cigarettes. HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY GET OUT OF THIS FINANCIAL HOLE?

If smoking $280 of weed every month isn't pursuing your passions, then I don't know what is. And you know they're getting a good price on it too.

My friend quit her accounting job at a Fortune 500 Company to become a "bogwitch." She makes tinctures and tonics through mushrooms and herbs that she grows in an urban farm. But apparently hundreds of dumb people are willing to pay her $75 2-3x a month for 4 oz of mushroom juice. So, maybe urban farming and witchcraft is GWM?

We don't go out to bars or spend money on other things. And the cigarettes I estimated like 27 packs a month at $6. And both of us smoke about the same. Not sure if I made it seem like it was just me. My bad. Is it still crazy? In response to a $600/mo spend on smoking being insane on a combined $3500/mo-ish income: quote:Do you allow yourselves like a percentage for fun money? Is there a number it's supposed to be? We had a ton of tomatoes which unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of. And peppers galore. We use the peppers. And we actually did do meal prep Sundays for a while and just got off the train for one reason or another.

quote:But we aren't even smoking blunts, joints, bowls. Even though we'd love to. We only take gravity bong hits which is a little tiny pinch of weed. Days that we work we may take like 4-5 a piece. Days we are off we might smoke a little more but about the same because we are always doing poo poo. We don't just smoke to unwind. I smoke to get poo poo done. And I also get a terrible hangover from only a little alcohol. Eldred posted:She says herself she dreams of urban farming but hasn't started yet. Dreaming of closet pot plants.

I am in the wrong business, man. A few years ago ebay stopped allowing people to sell "spells" or "wishes" and a bunch of other weird "enchanted" stuff. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/08/ebay-bans-magic-potions-curses-spells/ quote:Perhaps it's the intangibility of hexes and curses that makes them tough to host. "EBay regularly reviews categories and updates our policies based on customer feedback," a statement from the company read. "We are discontinuing a small number of categories within the larger metaphysical subcategory, as buyers and sellers have told us that transactions in these categories often result in issues that can be difficult to resolve."

She makes over 80k a year from her tinctures and gets another several thousand from co-managing a hippie music festival. I don't know the cash value of the fruits and vegetables she gets for her tattoos. She is more GWM than we could ever dream to be.

But she literally just boils a bunch of different varieties of mushrooms and sells tiny bottles of boiled mushroom water for 70-90 dollars per 4 oz bottle. She also gave me a business card that has her profession listed as "Bruxa."
