Just how excited am I to get my paycheck?

VERY. Very excited.

This Friday is pay day. I’m going to take that bad boy and dump it in my Freedom Fund so that if I am caught up in this imploding economy, my head won’t explode.

And as a note of my nerd-ism, I spent 40 minutes last night scrap-booking FINANCIAL NEWS in my personal journal.

That way, in 20 years, not only will I be able to recall the ups and downs of my relationship and the daily question of “how do I find a job I love?”, I will also be able to read, in exquisite detail, Fortune and WSJ coverage of this whole economic mess.

Nerd, I am.

  1. You know, that’s a really cool idea to scrapbook the times in a journal.

    I’d do it electronically… but it’s such a cool idea.

  2. I actually think its a really good idea. One of the things that I keep thinking about is how I wished I’d have paid more attention to the news when I was younger….maybe then this wouldn’t seem so much like the end of the world? ;-) Its easy to forget how things were as events get further away.

    It might come in handy in 20 years. Look at all the people near retirement who lost half of their savings and are now working indefinitely. I hope to learn from this mess (there has to be some upside, right) so in the future I can better see the signs of trouble and be better positioned when it hits. It’s encouraged me to be a smart investor for example. Also, I think there’s a little nerd in all of us.
