nicholas and i are planning on being independently wealthy in our lives. not because we have any brilliant business ideas or corporate connections or a zest for summer sales or rich relatives with terminal diseases, so no, we haven't quite figured out how yet. small road bump. we just know we want to be independently wealthy, and we like to discuss it on a regular basis. i've realized, however, that most people don't understand our love for the thought of being independently wealthy. no, it is not because i want a lexus or a big house or fancy clothes. i love our 1984 volvo, and i know for fact if someone took nick to a car dealership and said "you can have any car you want," nick would pick the volvo. and so would i. we dont like stuff. mostly we hate it. so our hope to one day be swimming in the green stems from ideas like this that we would love to execute:
1. buy super nice couches/bikes/snowboards/baby chairs/whatever and list them as free on craiglist.
2. randomly drop 100 dollar bills in locations only really nice, charitable, unselfish human beings could find them. such as: the back kitchens of homeless shelters, church hallways, etc.
3.pay neighborhood kids a lot of money to pet sit. (one time someone paid me 100 buckaroonis to watch their dog for a week and you would have thought i won the lottery.)
4. give super huge tips at restaurants. in cash money, because who doesn't love cash money. and the waiter/waitress would keel over in suprise, because nick and i look like we are homeless most of the time. dont you love surprises? SURPRISE! we are independently wealthy!
5. adopt a lot of neglected children and a lot of neglected pets.
6. travel the world, bestowing benjamins upon whomever we meet and like.
7. go to the drivethru and pay for everyone's order inside. free cinni-sticks and bean burritos all around!
8. pay neighborhood children to do all of our bidding: lawn-mowing, furniture-moving, garage-organizing, cartoon-viewing, whatever. then compensate them in candy and money.
9. tuck 100 dollar bills in strollers.
10. take every kid from your kid's school to chuck e cheese and give them each 500 tokens.
11. buy millions of cups of lemonade from lemonade stands. literally, millions.
12. continue to look homeless and drive cars older than I am, because who doesn't love a good surprise.
*disclaimer: nick would like the blogging world to know he would never pay anyone to mow his lawn.

those are some fun ideas. How cool when you guys get to do that! I believe it will happen one day. Also can I add to your list? I have always wanted to buy all the candy bars from some little kid saleing them outside of Walmart and also let him keep the candy.
Shannon, my dear, you are already independentally wealthy. You may not be handing out "benjamins" but you are handing out "shannons". It is obvious by this blog that what you give out is of far more valuable than a few benjamins.
