In this scenario you need water to live and you get it at a fairly fixed rate that
isn’t that fast. You have two magic buckets. One bucket
makes more water for you based on how much water is already in it.
The other bucket has
a bunch of water in it, but it has a hole in it. The hole is plugged,
but only when the bucket is full. The more water you take out of the
bucket, the bigger the leak. Even at the lowest speed, it leaks much
faster than the first bucket creates water.
This is largely how
I see savings accounts and credit cards. I highly prioritize stopping
the leak, even at the expense of saving, because paying off my credit
card is a net positive, even if I have to take money out of savings
to do it.
The weather has
cooled down lately. Got to wear my coat for the first time this
season. That was pretty nice. It was cloudy for several days
straight, which is pretty unusual, and that’s when the yearly
meteor shower was at its peak. That was kind of a shame.
I got Volume II of
Paul Roustan Body Paint last night. That was pretty great. I got it
just after 1am when I got home from work. I wanted to tell people,
but it was just after 1am, so that’s not really a thing that’s
reasonable.
