This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

        That last one I never get right. I always over or undershoot and both are costly in the long run. Too big you’re paying too much in rent. Too small, you spend more on organization crap. Am currently way too cramped.

        Waiting to read a very good emotional thesis on spending and costing, and the retrospective understanding and prioritization of value --When I graduated from law school, my father's advice to me was, "don't be extravagant." A complex statement

        1. King-size bed for co-sleeping with a baby. 2. A couch with electric recliners. The couch started falling apart immediately, and then we had kids and had to unplug the recliners so the kids didn’t use them to garbage-compact the cat or each other.

        3. Keeping all our extra crap in a room of our apartment instead of just paying for a storage unit and getting a smaller apartment. 4. After I dropped out of college, my parents asked if I wanted them to pay my existing loans OR help out if I went back to school. I picked loans.
