Welcome to Cash Boner! Let's get excited!
Welcome to Cash Boner! Nothing gets you more excited! Let me elaborate. I’m not going to tell you that just saving money will make you happy, there are plenty of people online that will do that. I am here to provide insight on how saving AND spending money can get you excited. That is because both can be seen as a win, no matter how big or how small. It’s the reason why happy hour works, it’s the reason why Wing Wednesday works.
On the flip side though, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy a 12 pack at your local grocery store and drink at home with your significant other or loved ones? How about buying frozen wings and cooking them at home? Going to a potluck? They are both good in their own way, and my mission is to help you realize why each one can be a win, and how to find happiness in different things. I don’t believe in absolutes. This isn’t going to be Kumbaya territory either. I’ve committed lots of mistakes, and so will you. There is nothing wrong with that.
I am going to tell you that sometimes it IS OK to buy that iPhone day one. That it IS OK to splurge and get that nice bottle of wine, versus buying another big box of it. That it IS OK to take a trip versus staying at home to save money. A Mac might be better than a Windows machine. It is also OK to wait and get that laptop for 15% off. You will sometimes wait, and sometimes not. I want to show you how to be happy with your decision. I will help you save money, I will help you spend money. I will also delve into other topics. I will talk about technology, I will talk about games, all with the intent of helping you increase that happiness slider.
Who am I to tell you these things? I’ve been through quite a few experiences. I come from Mexico. I drank Coca Cola from a plastic bag using a straw. I’ve lived having an illness that couldn’t be figured out as a teenager. I went through a period of being very overweight, but decided to change it. I’ve had a job at a young age where I was making more money than I knew what to do with. I’ve been a homeowner. I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck being so thankful for $1 Jack in the Box tacos and chicken sandwiches. I’ve worked retail and gone to school at the same time, having 12 hour days regularly.
I am now happily married. I have a rewarding office job. I’ve traveled to many places in the U.S. and in Europe. I am a lifelong gamer. I love playing competitive fighting games. Above all else, I love being happy with what I’m doing. I want to help you be happy with what you do. Have you heard of sweat equity? I want you to collect happiness equity. I will give wacky examples as to how certain things are rewarding and make me happy. It’s all about wins, getting those Ws! Seeing these can also help inspire you to get your own wins, and to look at your own situation differently. So go on this journey with me, there’s lots of boners to be had!
