Another day of "oh we're fucked" begins.. Me, I just go to work as normal and let all the shat roll off my back cause I don't give a fuck.

Glad I hiked my 401k contribution amount when I got my pay hike in 2021,2022. Getting another pay bump next year. Will also do another 401k hike then. (My pension contribution also got bumped).

Couldn't resist. Bagged more KO and SWPPX again today..

So another day of red. Hey works for me. Bagged more C and rebought T. (who says you don't get 2nd chances? Hehe). My 401k semi monthy contribution is tomorrow so yay more shares for me..on the cheap.

So which will it be; another day of red or will the green wave come in. Another day of me doing "nothing" and still getting paid or a day of me having to work instead (which means this: I work half a day then spend the other half "doing nothing")

Another relaxing day. Ate some blueberry waffles for breakfast. Rolled more green into SWPPX and went on with eating my lunch..Spent the afternoon doing the email shuffle. Now I'm home typing this..

Make a plan and stick with it. Never let your personal feelings or market news get in the way of constantly sticking to your plan. That's the only way you'll achieve greatness. Ex: Your plan is to toss 500 a month into stock with the company name "suckitbitch". But the S&P 500 tanks loads as well. Do you split your wad or do you stick with the plan?. You stick with the fucking plan. You only change it if you have the extra wad handy. Then feel free to invest in both.. A lot of people don't do this. They let feelings get in the way. Then later they cry when their fat wads ain't fat enough.. or worse they lose it all.

Bought nothing, sold nothing. Didn't do nothing. Yet I still get paid for it.. Now I'm fixing to do nothing this evening/night till it's bed time. Very relaxing and stress free. All while my retirement accounts just keep growing fatter. Hey don't knock it. Low stress means your more apt to have a longer life span so you can enjoy life and your money more once you retire for good.

39 years old. Now to be honest I could fully retire from my job at the nice age of 48 without taking any sort of hit financially. However if I stick around a few years longer and walk at age 54 then my benefits would be even fatter. Why cap it at 54?. Well max benefits for one. For another anything past 32 yrs (actually 31 due to uh sick time credit applied) your essentially paying them to show up daily.. Also I couldn't do any other job and get paid what I do now by doing "nothing" to earn it along with the very low stress environment I'm exposed to.. I started there at a young age so yeah go me..

It's worth more than that.. Analist have it pegged at mid 40s. Which is right up there with Paramount. Realistically its worth more than even that due to its broad nature of divisions. Reminder; they create/publish their own games and comic books as well as music, tv shows and films.. Also they get a fat check from Comcast for life due to the theme park fees. (What? You don't think Comcast does the Harry Potter themed stuff and gets away with it right; hell no, they pay up for the privilege)

Ain't selling nothing.. Market can do what it wants. Meanwhile I'll just be stock piling cash and waiting for the almost end of year mega dump once they do the fat rate hikes again. That and the natural gas price shocker once that kicks in..

Today sucked. Did nothing at work so that was a plus. The sucky part was during lunch I got a beef n cheddar from arby's. Damn beef looked like rubber (flat, not thin sliced, even colored wrong in spots like it wasn't cooked proper). Didn't get a receipt so fucking hell nothing to do about it.. Also didn't get to have my morning coffee so now I'm grumpy and tired..

another day of not doing anything at work. Home wise though it was a different story; I mowed the yard after work. God I wish they did here what they're doing in California. They're paying people to rip up their yards and replace them with other things due to the water shortage. Fuck yes. Pay me to not have to mow my yard ever again? Sign me up...

Bought nothing. Sold nothing. Did nothing at work.. Hell I sometimes do more at home than I do at work.. Take today. Did nothing at work. Got home, put out garbage, rolled the cans next to the end of my driveway to be collected tomorrow morning, fixed something to eat and typing while it's cooling off. Do nothing the rest of the evening/night.. Might watch a movie. I dunno yet.

Last week (or was it 2 weeks?. I forgot) I had some spare green left in my account. So I set a buy limit order for INTC more or less as a shat and giggle play. Imagine my surprise when it triggered today.. The alert on my phone jolted me from my morning doze at my desk. (What?. So I was bored and there was nothing to do at work so I spaced out a bit ok..)

Last week (or maybe 2 weeks ago, i dunno), I placed a buy limit order good for 60 days on intel stock. Figured what the hell,more of a shat and grin deal with some left over money. Well the order got placed today. Go me...

After months (or has it been years already I dunno..?) here's what a typical summer month of expenses looks like for me currently in 2022: I make over $21 hr in case you were wondering. Take home post deductions,etc is right round 2000 a month.
Utilities (Phone & Net included): $360
Groceries (2 people + 2 cats): $500 (roughly)
Auto ins: $150 (2 cars w/full coverage)
House payment: $400
Streaming services: $30
Loan payment: $220 (personal; I bagged stocks with it)
Gas: $70 (2 cars,roughly amount)

What hentai is this from.. Lucky fucker..

Done buying and selling for the year (joke - what selling? I ain't selling a single share ever again till I'm dead). Will resume buying come January 2023 once I see how the rest of the year plays out.

At McDonalds, just got a text from the misses. She found out about my secretary. Knew this day would come.
I already got my stocks in my name alone. Can they still get them?

Fuck looks like I'm gonna have to leave the house and spend money after all. Cat peed on the basement floor instead of inside the litter box.. I've got cleaning stuff but nothing for concrete based and hell some things will only make it worse (smell attracts cat so cat will be tempted to just mark that spot again). Oh well might hit up the McDonald's drive thru and get some breakfast while I'm out.

Three days of doing nothing. Don't gotta go anywhere or spend any money during the 3 day weekend. Fuck it feels great.

Didn't do much today. Didn't even look at any tickers or my portfolio. I take the long view. Either I end up with a shat pot of green or I don't.. In the meantime while I'm knocking off the years till retirement I try to relax and do as little as possible..Why stress? Fuck all that'll do is send you to an early grave.

Not gonna buy nothing else rest of the year. Just let my cash pile up. Just gonna kick back a bit and let things do what it will.
