This week's

thefridayfive is about Money. Mmmmmm, money.

1. What’s the most embarrassing thing/job you’ve had to do to earn money? Uh... I haven't really had an embarrassing job. I've played some silly games as a babysitter, does that count? Sliding around on the floor making "alligator noises" and such would be pretty embarrassing had any adults been present.

2. What’s the easiest and quickest way you have earned a buck? "Earned" being the key word here, so I can't say "finding $ in the street." Oh, I know! I once earned $10 for drinking a mixture of jalapeno juice, butter flavoring, iced tea, and I think salt. Can't remember that fourth ingredient for sure. I just drank it real fast, didn't puke, and got $10 for it.

3. If you could set your own salary, according to your skills and worth, how much would you earn? Ha! I'm a total slacker now. I'd pay myself half my salary. This is why I can't ask for a raise.

4. Are you a good saver? Saver of what? Money? Useless junk? Popsicle sticks? I'm definitely not as frugal as I once was. I suppose I'm a fair saver as I have the "pay yourself first" mentality to grow my savings account monthly... except, well, I tend to borrow from it when the credit card bills get a little too high for comfort.

5. What’s the most expensive and useless thing you have ever bought? The most expensive thing and the most useless thing are two different concepts. I'm assuming this question is meant to be taken as "expensive and useless" rolled up together, so that it's not simply the MOST expensive and the MOST useless. Taking each on its own, my house is the most expensive thing, duh. I have no idea what the most useless is. Together, I'd say it was pretty silly of me to shell out $70 for a Beanie Baby that is now worth $6. Ah, me and my obsessions. (I still collect beanies, somewhat, but I stick to just the cats now)
