Not having a job now puts Project Binchoustan back in the can, but a decade of compulsive saving has left me in a good position for not having a job. If I could safely live on $10,000 a year with an expected 5% return, I'll never need to work again. At least, I can outlast the recession on my cash reserve. Ideally, I'd still need another $100,000, plus I'd like to move, and tithe unto The Lord. Perhaps the new budget year will increase my chances of getting a decent job. And by decent, I mean one in which when I run into past employees the first question isn't "You know he's insane?".
Giftmas Loot: I got boots (useful, but the Koopa boots are still functional for the few times a year I need them), DVDs (District 9, Shaw Bros), and an original art work (most useless, most heartfelt). I also got a Wii, but I asked that it be returned as an unnecessary extravagance and impulse buy. I am sincere about the Binchou-tan lifestyle! Only buy things of value! Plus my TV isn't even hooked up. I of course give the gift of maximized economic potential.
