Money
My beautiful girlfriend, Carolyn, has understood when, time and again, I’ve shown up at her house to celebrate an occasion with the cheapest champagne on the market. She’s been patient with me when I’ve taken her out to dinner once a month instead of once a week. She’s put up with my frugality for almost four years, because she knows how much financial independence means to me.
I’m telling you all of this because my money management is starting to pay off. It’s helped me get really close to debt-free, but even better, it has helped me build Quipol. Because of the way I manage my finances, I don’t have to search for angel investors. I don’t have to faint when I get a new quote from my lawyer. I can manage projected infrastructure costs and still have some money leftover for those unforeseen dilemmas. On top of that, I can pay my rent and eat food. I’m just barely getting acclimated to this new reality of new expenses, but as far as I can tell, my bank account is ready for it.
Of course, my investments in Quipol mean that my going-out habits will have to be rethought, my peanut butter will have to be hydrogenated, and these Sperrys will have to hold out for a awhile longer.
