Nathan Exposed: the naked truth about my gay life

It’s been over two months since I contributed a new article to the Life Guide column in Out & About Newspaper! Wow. I really didn’t have anything to write about, and even this article is kind of filler. But it does raise some valid points about the way people manage their money.

There’s no denying the price to fill up your gas tank is having an impact on your wallet. That’s a given. While we all agree something needs to be done, in the mean time, what can we do to accommodate this added expense?

Perhaps we can adjust our spending to balance things out. Let me give you an example. I have friends who grumble when the price of gas goes up 10 cents. Those same people will walk by a dime on the sidewalk and not pick it up. “Why don’t you pick it up?” I ask them.

“Oh, that’s just 10 cents. I don’t have room for loose change in my pockets,” they reply.

I see. Well in a debit card world, I’m not surprised to hear that. Debit cards are great. I’m not arguing that point. But isn’t 10 cents the same, whether on a sidewalk or on a gas station sign? Is there a new conversion formula I missed out on?

    10 cents is remarkably more valued than it used to be. I scraped a quarter and a penny off of the ground at Dairy Queen (no comments, please) the other night.
