My niece and I share a love of birds, so I ordered these for her: Audubon plush birds with authentic chirping and singing.

Do you go around photographing different birds?

Don't photograph them myself but I do love reading about them and seeing them in natural habitats. I have a couple CDs of bird calls that I love to listen to.

innerspaceboy back with more fun finds!

I got a call this afternoon from my favorite record dealer who had recently found his first-hand collection of hundreds of band buttons from the late 60s to the early 80s.

He'd thought of me instantly and had hand-picked potential favorites for me to peruse.

I've been commissioning custom pinback buttons of my favorite obscuro artists for years but this is an entirely next-level experience!

He'll have more for me next week. What a blast!

Just arrived in the post from England - My very own Oblique Strategies deck! This is a real milestone for me. I've wanted a set of these for most of my adult life.

I wanted one of those... you know... 1970s commercial floor sweepers that every office building has kicking around in the back? These buggers:



(Tacky 70s rug sold separately)

None of those fancy new "removable pads" you have to replace every damn time you use it... just a no-frills dual brush manual sweeper for floors and oriental rugs.

BAM



Best-selling non-electric by miles on both eBay and Amazon. Hundreds of 5-star ratings from customers who use it for dog hair, cat hair, back hair... whatever you've got.

$24 and free shipping. See? I can buy NEW goods every now and then!

What I want to know is how he affords all this ****. IIRC, he is pretty much skating the poverty line in terms of take-home income.

Quite right. Early on I made sure to hone my deal-scoring skills as a survival tactic.

I'm in the lowest tax bracket above poverty. And I've had to support both myself and my wife through a year of her unemployment.

Still, to my advantage:

1. I've never in my life owned a credit card. If I couldn't afford it, I didn't buy it.

2. I have near perfect credit for having paid all bills on time for 25 years.

3. I'm paying off my college loans in full this Feb and will be 100% debt free (mortgage aside)

4. I tossed out my car ~10 years ago(?) so I save a fortune on car payments, gas, maintenance, and insurance by working and living within 1 mile of my door.

5. I tossed out my TV in 1999 so I don't have to deal with a cable bill.

6. I budgeted $1,900 this year for music and have kept just under that limit.

7. And was able to buy a beautiful home built in 1924 with all its original hardwood flooring and gumwood trim intact, with a new gas fireplace, new hot water, new roof, new energy windows, new electrical, 24 free LED 12-year bulbs for all sockets, and the city came in and performed blow-in insulation at all levels for free and delivered a brand new fridge as a free upgrade.

8. And I keep a spare 5-7k in the bank at all times for emergencies.

Paycheck to paycheck is a tough gig, but I live quite comfortably in spite of it.
