The Future is Looking Brighter

In light of recent devastating news, Grandpa J and I had to get our heads together real fast to come up with a plan for our future. We've assessed our situation and figure we will be desperately needing to supplement our income to meet our financial obligations. We looked first to what we can do quickly and make the most money fast. So here's our plan:


We'll rent out some of the bedrooms. . .maybe even parts of the basement. Grandpa J and I argued whether or not baths would cost extra.


We'll sell Grandpa J's collection of cottage cheese and various other plastic containers. I must add. . . the thought of selling his prized collection hit Grandpa J real hard, but I told him this is reality now. There WILL be sacrifices. The prices are very negotiable and open to the best offer.


I figure if the little girls in Mexico can sell Chiclets gum and seashells, so can I. However, I couldn't find any Chiclets gum, so I'll sell Smarties and seashells instead.


I KNEW there was a good reason why I should drink Diet Pepsi. I can collect the cans and recycle them. This, however, won't bring in much money at the rate I drink Pepsi, so maybe I should drink MORE!


The movie rentals have been free in recent weeks, months. . .well, for years actually! So, with the price of everything else going up. . . so are the movie rentals at my house!


Our garage is full of a lot of junk, some useless. But I figure since the kids are always borrowing a various assortment of items out of the garage, maybe we can earn some money renting out some of the tools.


And. . . last but not least, we can always panhandle. We just have to be careful on which corner we stand. The ticket price, if we get caught, is quite substantial. We'll just keeping moving around every hour or so.
