The New Retirement Plan

401(k) bust? Social Security concerns? Health care got you down? Take this into consideration. Go to prison. Not only do you get paid while you live there for a mere $10.00 per month, you can count on these benefits for no additional cost:

Medical care
Gym membership
Groceries
Clothing
Internet/Email
Cable

College education (although why would you need it now?)


Who says criminals are dumb? Seems they have it figured out to me. The American prison system, putting your tax dollars to work for you.

It Costs How Much?

I was pereusing craft blogs today, when I can across some really cool fabric. Fabric that I thought would make the best ever bag or quilt or duvet cover. I was really stoked about the cool fabric until I saw the price was $17 for a fat quarter. For those of you who don't know how much a fat quarter is, it is one quarter of a yard of fabric cut into a square. That is why it's called a "fat" quarter. It measures 18" x 22". That is really small. So if you were to buy one whole yard of fabric, it would cost $68.00. I think that's crazy. When I made my wedding dress from custom silk, I only paid $27.00 per yard. If you yourself would like to check the fabirc out, you can do so here. It is really cool fabric, but it would be decidely uncool to pay a ridiculous amount of money for it.
