I myself would have allowed the young Dude to cover the tab. Some lessons are best learned the hard way. I would gladly share what I have with whomever sits at my table so I believe others should be allowed the freedom to give and share at said table.

Dudes that offer u money should be allowed the inner pleasure of giving freely of their abundance. Learning to receive graciously has been a long time coming for me. I learned this all from an elder Dude years ago and I have always needed to this teaching.

Hope this is still concidering Dudism as a state of Abiding there in…..

I get the expensive bulk apples at Walmart, and when I use the self-checkout register, I ring them up as cheapo Gala apples. Save money, shop smarter, eat better. That’s shopping the Dudely way. Sure, they’re “supposed” to be more expensive, but that’s like, their opinion, man. They’re not paying me to check out and bag my own stuff I’m already buying, so it’s like I’m giving myself an employee discount. Besides, they haven’t complained 😎✌️

“The Simple Life! Oh, to live a low-stress simple life is a dream of many people strives to reach in this stress-filled society. Many are so burdened with pressures of making a living that they can’t enjoy the simple things this World and life has to offer.”

 

After several months of a block, I’ve started to write again. I’ve started a book about living a simple (economical) life. I had the idea for years now, because of leaning with the Bohemian lifestyle, but decided to write it and connect it with my Abide Ph.D. Economicals and make it sort of my dissertation.

I’m shooting for enough material for a book, but may end up a long paragraph. LOL

Anywho, if feels great to be feeling creative again! 🙂

Congrats on early retirement!

I noticed the two younger folks in the group ordered Porterhouse steaks and top shelf alcohol . When I ordered a rib eye steak and a draft beer they chuckled.  Finally, one made the comment , ” You only live once” and ordered another drink. When the check came, one of the young guys stated,  ” I got this” and he pulled out his credit card. I pulled out my wallet and handed him cash for my dinner.

As we were walking to our ride , the young guy asked me why I didn’t let him buy my dinner. My explanation went like this, ” I ate my dinner, I paid for my dinner,  now I can forget about it. You ate your dinner, you charged your dinner on your credit card, you’ll be thinking about it all month until you pay it off.”. I added, ” I’m 62 years old and I retired at 49,  you’re what , 26? Between, credit card bills, car payments and any student loans, when do you plan on retiring? Stop signing for stuff and pay cash, life will be simpler “.
