Michael scott mo money mo problems11/7/2022 Life may seem like it’s nothing but questions, problems, and issues, but you just have to remember that even though your income has changed, you haven’t. The thing about having no money and a simple lifestyle is that you find out very quickly what is important to you, and where your priorities lie. How do you best minimize the risk in your stock portfolio? Can you get away with not ironing that shirt for work? How much dental coverage should you have through your workplace’s insurance policy? Is it okay to keep ordering pizza for dinner every other night? Why don’t all of your friends live two seconds from you anymore? What is your favorite mircobrew? Luckily, you have been preparing for all of these questions and more for the last four (or more) years. Buying a new car becomes a viable option, and you learn that there is actually some joy in buying furniture and visiting home improvement stores.Įveryday in your adult life, you are bombarded with problems. Mutual funds are a real thing, you have to schedule your own dentist appointments, and getting up before 7am is something you stop complaining about. Spoiler Alert: It’s not as fun as it sounds. Reality check to anyone who is still in school: Someday you will have to figure out your own healthcare plan. For me, and many of my classmates, that simple lifestyle we enjoyed in school is over. The common thread amongst all of these things is that they all come from or with my newly found cash flow. In those three months I’ve moved into my own house, started my career, and I’ve made many adult decisions (many of which I documented with my innovative Twitter hashtag, #adulting). It’s been three month since I graduated from Ferris State University. Which actually sounds about as fun as licking a wet dog, but it’s actually an opportunity to make the most out of what you learned, both in and out of the classroom. I’m forced to be an adult now and deal with adult issues. Fortunately though, I’m no time-traveler. I miss college, I would go back and do it all over in a heartbeat. In college, you typically have limited to no money, and you either realize something, or you remember it: that people and experience are what it’s all about, and having some extra cash to spice things up is just a bonus. You pick your schedule, you have no real commitments, you do whatever you want, and you never realize that you will won’t experience that feeling again until you retire. What most people don’t realize is that mo problems isn’t always a bad thing. Michael Scott, former regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Scranton said it best. Full Disclosure: This article was written by a jagaloon who thinks he is starting to figure things out.
