Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for September 02, 2023

suddenly it feels like the govt is talking thru Aunty

I pinch pennies so hard, I decapitate Lincoln.

Pray tell, how do you make $10 last more than a day?

Managing money is tough. You have to make decisions like: do I trade in my private jet for a more efficient model? Do I vacation at an exotic ski resort or my private island? Which yacht should I take out next Saturday?

A couple of billion dollars just doesn’t go as far as it used to.

August was a $500 month: two new pairs of shoes, some sleep shirts and three new pairs of pants. September’s going to be the $10 month. . .

I save and I spend as much as I can. There’s no in between. The trick is not to spend what I’m saving. I’m pretty tricky.

Hey Aunty, I’m $500

My mom could get 6 cents out of a nickel.

Must have spent that one week sleepin’ it off.

the 2 days must be when she goes grocery shopping

Yeah…I do that when buying new tools…whether I need them or not! (cuz ya never know when you just, might, need it!)

I just wish I could go into town and just spend a $hundred. It’s now hitting 2-3 hundred!

I give myself an allowance and I use that to buy what I want. If I want something that’s more than my allowance, I save it until I have enough. And I’m in my 50’s. I started doing that when my life changed 20 years ago (divorce).

boy, i wish i had 10 bucks…

Is she a gambler?

A fool and their money Aunty.

Trying to figure out that economic principle?
