As the Wutang clan put it, cash rules everything around me. Now, those who know me probably know the story of how I saved up a ridiculous sum of money throughout high school. Today I will tell you how I did it.
Contrary to popular belief, I am neither a drug dealer, nor a male prostitute. I am actually a sort of combination of the two. No, nto really, that was a lie to make myself seem more interesting. The real answer is Warhammer. What is Warhammer? Well, it is a ridiculously expensive tabletop minatures game where you build, paint , and fight with vast armies of soldiers either from a fantasy or sci fi (Warhammer 40k) setting. Now, you're probably wondering, "If they are so expensive, then how did you save up so much money?" Jesus Christ you ask a lot of questions. I am in the middle of explaining this to you, so stop interrupting me with your stupid questions. You see, by the time I entered high school, my Warhammer days had already begun to fade. Sure I still bought a platoon here and there, mostly because I enjoyed building and painting them. However, when I did play Wathammer, it taught me a valuable lesson: Money equals power.
In middle school I would have Warhammer battles against my friends quite frequently. Normally, battles are made fair by the official rules by assigning points values to each unit and setting a limit, however, we were rebels and did not use this point system, instead favoring a "field every availible unit you have" system. This made it fortuitous for me to simply buy more or better units than all of my friends. This is when I learned how to make and save money, by doing chores around the house, odd jobs, and saving all my money from birthdays and christmas. I stopped buying things that I didn't really need (ironic since I was saving up for the equivalent of plastic crack). The more money I had, the better stuff I could buy, and the more likely I was to win. I was a very competitive child. As we gradually began to have fewer and fewer battles (mostly because they became too onesided, what with the vast horde I had assembled) I stopped buying stuff, but continued to save, just in case we started up aghain or something. As a result, I made several thousand dollars by the time I graduated. All thanks to a silly little game.
Since then I have forgotten some of those frugal lessons I had learned, but these days my primary source of income (interest from lending those thousands of dollars to family members) is drying up, I must once again turn to the old ways of makign money, so that one day, I can afford to buy Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
