baby I got your money

Just kidding I don't have any money, I spent it all at the bar this weekend.

What is sad though is my hometown is as big of a dumb ass with money as I am.

If you haven't seen on the news, my old stomping grounds Detroit has declared bankruptcy. Here is an article if you are interested, if not it's ok I can tell you all you need to know in this post.

People think Detroit is this really crummy place, but it is actually not at all. I mean I hail from there so obviously it is not that bad.

We also reared Madonna, Kid Rock, Tim Allen, Uncle Cracker, and at least five or six other semi famous celebs. Uncle Cracker even went to my high school so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

All Detroit needs to do is spend a little time putting together a budget spreadsheet on Excel like I did last week. I could really teach the city a thing or two so hopefully some of the big wigs are reading this post.

The former mayor of Detroit Kwame used to like to spend the city's money on things like Lincoln SUVs and hookers. I can understand because I used to like to spend all my money on Starbucks coffee and going out to lunch. Now I try to shop at TJ Maxx and buy my coffee at the gas station. The new mayor should get a used sedan and just use casual encounters on Craigslist to save some dough.

One of the major problems with the economy in the Dirty D is the auto industry going to shit. I think the people running those companies were probably just not doing a kick ass job like they should have been. If they would have called in sick to lay out by the pool, and spent a large chunk of their day chatting on Facebook like I do, things might be a tad different.

I am not even going to pretend to know all the problems with the economy back in my hometown, but I do know that it makes me feel a little tiny bit better because I thought I was the worst Michigander with money but guess what...I am not even close to bankrupt.

I put myself on the envelope method at the beginning of this month. You know, where you put how much spending money you are allowed into an envelope and then just spend that and nothing more.

Well, of course I ran out of money with 11 days left in the month. Instead of charging things like Detroit probably would have, I am just going to make Jose buy me shit for the rest of the month. Get a boyfriend Detroit. Get a boyfriend.
