At this time, I have commenced the prelimary groundwork for the upcoming homeless decision. I have already contacted an automobile dealership to secure a quote for a homeless motorhome (read: luxury minivan). I plan to transfer at least $12,000 to my local bank from my investment accounts as early as this week. I will also be contacting a few homeless agencies to discuss the legal status of motorhomelessness. And, I will be preparing the iPad® tablet computer for divestiture.
Before departing from Waimanalo this morning, I chatted briefly with the landlord. At this point in time, I will be able to rent the small detached studio for an indefinite period of time, if I so choose. So, that's my "safety net" to remain in the "system" as a legitimate citizen of empire. The homeless decision can be postponed, but not for long, unfortunately.
No time for holidays. Usual Hawai'i Kai visit. Moms is doing fine. The usual agenda and itinerary were completed. No evening outing to Kahala, though. Instead, I chose to loiter at the fast food joint in Hawai'i Kai. A greasy "value menu" item and free wireless Net access. What more could I ask for? Well, a young hottie would be nice. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!
As I stated previously, the homeless decision can be postponed, but not avoided. Each month that I remain in Waimanalo, I sit and watch as $750 in fixed costs disappears for rent and petrol alone. And, the overdue maintenance on my motor vehicle will come due. Although, it only has 21,000 miles of use on it, the vehicle is ten years old. I have only gone by accrued mileage rather than elapsed time for its maintenance schedule. With daily use, it will need about $3,000 of work done at the least. For me, replacing it with a newer vehicle will be more cost effective.
A new or newer vehicle will still be costly even with the trade-in allowance. If I were remain in Waimanalo, a compact automobile would be prudent. However, the cost of a new automobile will have to be added to the fixed costs mentioned above. That's a lot of money. In addition, I really could not see myself residing in Waimanalo for several years. Moving to town would be worse, expense-wise. And, why purchase a new or newer vehicle only to have sit outside and be exposed to the elements?
Obviously, the only practical vehicle to purchase is a luxury minivan. While still in Waimanalo, it will only be exposed to the elements at night. During the day, it will be housed in a shaded parking structure. And, when the homeless decision is finally made, it will be ready to convert to a homeless motorhome. And, believe me, the homeless decision is inevitable.
There is no way to avoid the homeless decision. The moneychangers and powers-that-be will not relent in their quest to suck all of the wealth out of the masses. All expenses continue to rise beyond reason. Moms will live to 120 years of age. The formula only spells bankruptcy for me, unless I take evasive action.
Surveillance Mini-Update®
The surveillance robot made another surprise visit at midnight. The unannounced visits appear to be increasing, obviously coincident with the recent "terrorist" attacks across Europe. Is there a connection?
Truly sad how the only outlet for your pent-up energies is via consumerism. You will lose patience with that van faster than you did with the ipad. Beg your Vietnamese friend to help you with your mental illness and hold your hand or whatever it takes to get to southeast Asia.
ReplyDeleteYou, my trolling "friend" are the mentally ill one. Who else would spend months in the wilderness "camping" with millions of dollars in the bank? My homeless buddy cannot "take me by the hand" because he is going back to Vietnam to visit family.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards, he will return to Hawai'i to camp in the airport for a year or two until he can accumulate enough money from his disability payments to go back. So, who needs to have his head checked? You or my homeless buddy?
Oh, the iPad ... I love the iPad. However, now that I must have a phone, a cheap "smartphone," I am finding that I can do everything with the latter. Redundancy is best eliminated.
ReplyDeleteNature is beautiful. It is a privilege to camp in the wilderness, not deprivation. Anyway, I'll be heading to eastern Europe in a few weeks for several months of luxurious city living, to provide some variety in my life. EE not as cheap as southeast Asia, but then it is true I can afford to live larger than you.
ReplyDeleteI'm not aware of the exact circumstances of your homeless buddy. If he is needs to be in the US (for healthcare or to receive the disability payments), then coming back makes sense. Otherwise, yes he is mentally ill not to stay in Vietnam and live well on his disability payments there. And you too are mentally ill not to move somewhere cheaper instead of using consumerism as a drug. Swapping electronics might make sense for someone on the move, since electronics is so vital nowadays and technology is in transition. That is, sometimes is does make sense to toss something you just bought for something better, in order to save money or mental energy in the long run. But buying a motor vehicle is pure consumerism for someone like you. That was true when you bought your current vehicle, BTW. Next thing, you'll be buying that condo-hotel unit back. LOL!
