Good morning.... Or not.

I think it's funny how YOU tried to turn your faults around on me... Let me know how this works out for you....

Will you marry me? (Are you sure?)

With divorce rates sky-rocketing to 46%, we still ask ourselves this question: is it really worth all that money? What if there was a "Trial-period"? What if someone would pay for your wedding?

Here's my idea:  Start a company that pays for your reception costs (or wedding costs) up to a certain dollar amount, kind-of like a loan... except the terms are different from a bank.

It goes like this: we will front you all expenses for the cost of the wedding or reception (or both up to a certain amount)

• If within 90 days you decide you want to divorce, you pay back the full amount + 20%.  
• After 1 year it would be total + 10%....
• After 5 years you would pay back 75% of the cost.. 
• 10 years 50%.. 
• 15 years 25%... 
• and we figure by 20 years, you are pretty much going to stay together so we have paid 100% for your wedding costs. 

Here is the intention: you don't start your marriage off with the financial burden of having to come up with the insane amount of a wedding. Your wedding was debt-free to you.

Here is NOT the intention: forcing people to stay together.  No, we don't want you to stay together just to keep your money.

And as with every contractual agreement, there would be circumstances that would make the loan void.  Examples of this would be: killed in combat, domestic (which in this case, the debt would go to the abuser), or death.

In these events, there would probably be a 5-20% payback (depending on the term of the marriage).

I don't know what I'd call it yet. Maybe I'll have an answer for that later. :)

I'm back!

So yesterday, I was looking back on how organized my life USED to be... Well guess what, that doesn't help me much now.

I'm tired of not having stability in my life. I don't ever know what's going on anymore with myself. My life seems to be UTTER CHAOS!

So here we are.  I'm blogging again.  It's like a brain vomit. And it feels so good.

Every day at work, I must used at least 10 post-its to remember the simplest things. My memory is fried; or so it seems.  I want it back though.  I want to be able to focus on the important things again.  I want to not worry if I'm going to run out of money before pay-day. I'm going to get there. It's going to take time and effort, but I'm going to do it! :)

Later on, I will post about an interesting idea Paulie and I were discussing on the bus this morning about marriage and money.. Some of you will laugh. Some of you will think I'm a genius. And of course, some of you will get pissed off.

I'll be back, around 4-ish.
