I carefully budget my money so that I have a monthly surplus. I make art. I am self employed. My income comes from my art. I work a lot in a studio and write notes. I love art and my job. I have become a connoisseur of meats. I have never hunted, but I always wanted to try it. I want to do an art gallery that includes art made with charcuterie boards and platters. I am an artist that creates different art. I want to use different cheeses and fruits in my art to make it stand out. My art gallery will change constantly as my art will be eaten at the end of each night. I enjoy vintage t-shirts. I just finished a couple of designs to be displayed at an art gallery. I am happy with them. They are edible. I have ideas about making edible clothing. I have a friend named Kevin with a background in music.
I work in a factory and really enjoy it. I consider myself a workaholic. I collect meat to eat.  I see myself as a carnivore. I love meat. I am obsessed with eating meat. Black Sabbath is my favorite band.  I have gone into debt from buying Black Sabbath t-shirts. I like to buy a lot of Black Sabbath CDs. I owe thousands on my credit cards from buying Black Sabbath merchandise. I enjoy venison. My father is a great hunter. I have hunted before. I work a lot. I wish I had an eye for art. I bought a Black Sabbath shirt recently. I love its design. I keep my shirts in a special closet to keep them protected. I go hunting, and I am interested in going again this fall. I don't think I have much of an eye for art.
My friend Kevin said that he has some Black Sabbath vinyl he'd be willing to sell. He is going to let me know what he has available.  I'm interested, even though I probably should stop buying Black Sabbath merchandise from a financial perspective. It does get expensive, doesn't it? I'll let you know when I hear from him. But paying off those credit cards might be a better idea.  Yeah, I'm working on that. Still, I won't be able to pass up a good deal on rare Black Sabbath music. Sometimes I feel like I can't stop buying Black Sabbath stuff. That might be something to talk to a counselor about! Like, what kind of inner need is buying all the merch filling? Maybe you could give some tips on how to budget myself, you seem to do really well in that respect. The best thing to do is to pick the credit card with the highest interest out. Pay the minimum payment on all the other cards but pay as much as you can per month toward that high-interest one. Once that's paid off do the same with the next-highest-interest card, and so on down the line. The important thing is to not fill them back up again! :) Easier said than done! Even with how hard I work I never seem to have anything extra at the end of the month. Well, that's where stemming the need for the Black Sabbath merch comes in. Something is making you overbuy, ya know? I had depression for a while and 'retail therapy' was one of my coping mechanisms. But then I'd be depressed at how much I'd spent!  Interesting, maybe my obsession with collecting meat comes from the same psychological need as all the Black Sabbath purchases.  Maybe so! Were you hungry as a kid, maybe?  That could be a reason for liking to have a lot of food on hand. I don't remember going hungry as a child. Anyway, speaking of meat I got some exotic-looking venison recently. Maybe you'd like to use it in one of your upcoming art pieces.
