It is a sad state of affairs when you are so stupidly busy that you cannot get around to shooting all the guns you have been buying as of late. I used to make fun of someone who would buy guns, put them in the safe, and never get around to shooting them. I am becoming that guy. (Well, in some ways, anyway.) My biggest problem is that I have absolutely zero self-discipline to manage my time efficiently and to my best interest. Then again, I have always been my own worst enemy.<\/p>\n
2020 is approaching. I am dreading it. Historically, years that were divisible by five have been very bad for me. I expect 2020 to have no shortage of kick-to-the-jimmies episodes. But, I think that for 2020 I’m going to create a ‘goals’ tag and be a bit more diligent about tracking progress of some vaguely defined goals I have. Biggest is to finally<\/em> get the bloody house paid off. If I can stop spending stupid money on guns, and exercise some self control (see paragraph one), there’s no reason I can’t get the house paid off next year. And, really, that should be the highest-priority goal since once thats paid off I can take the money I was normally funneling to house payments and start chunking it into my Roth. (With a smaller percentage dedicated to precious metals.)<\/p>\n And, of course, 2020 is an election year. I still think Fake Indian Woman will get the nomination, BUT… I’m starting to think that if Joe Biden continues his slow dementia-induced spiral into self-destruction it will be just the impetus for Hillary to jump in as a ‘savior’ for the Democrats. Perhaps as Bidens VP. Who knows. Regardless, the faster I get the bloody house paid off the faster I can get Palmetto State to send me a case of $350 AR’s to stockpile before the election.<\/p>\n Other goals for 2020? Well, some career advancement wouldn’t be unwelcome. I’d also like to upgrade to a newer vehicle. Preparedness goals are easy: more guns and ammo, more silver and gold, more food, and eventually….Commander Zero’s Post Nuclear Bunker O’ Love And Lingerie Proving Ground…I mean, every survival retreat should have a catchy name, right?<\/p>\n Hmm. Thats interesting. Let’s run that up the flag and see who salutes: What catchy name do you have in mind for your happy little hideout?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is a sad state of affairs when you are so stupidly busy that you cannot get around to shooting all the guns you have been buying as of late.
