Bundle’s Mike Dang talks to The Awl’s Choire Sicha about money.
The whole thing is amazing. A taste:
1. “I’ve never bought anything I didn’t have cash for.”
2. “Writing books is great because when you start doing it you realize, ‘Any moron can do this, why didn’t you do this sooner?’ Like, there’s no rules and no standards. Just write a book, who cares!”
3. “ I always had $10,000 or $20,000 tucked away. Because when you don’t have a credit card, and you don’t have health insurance, and you get hit by a truck or you want to quit a job, you gotta have something.”
4. “I once worked at a place with two good friends. Two of us were men and one was a woman. Finally, one day, we were all like, ‘It’s important that we as co-workers know what we make.’ The only benefits to us not knowing was for our boss. The two men were making the same dollar amount, and the woman was being paid $10,000 less! “
5. “I’m broke. But I can afford cigarettes!”
