Gonna Earn My Mattress Darn It

by debt kid on April 26, 2008

While I actually have the money right now for the mattress I want, I’m going to hold off. I need to earn this, you know? First, I want to save up at least for a few more weeks. And I also won’t purchase the mattress until my business hits some sales goals.

So, in the next few weeks, I need at least 20 new sales before I will purchase the mattress and frame.

So far I’m at 3 of the 20 I want before May 15th.

Oh, and if you’re curious, that chart above is produced by the Simple Goal Chart Plugin that I’ve been working on the past few weeks. You’ll see more of the charts in the future as I move to using this plugin to display my current debt numbers and the like.

It’s my first Wordpress plugin, and I think it’s pretty handy!

Not feeling so hot, but at least there is some money in the bank

Good! I like the earning it idea. Should help you reach those sales goals… which earns you more money. Keep it up!

Nice idea using the sales goal. Not only will you be more productive, when you actually get the mattress it will feel all the sweeter!

Great idea. I slept on a cheap kid’s mattress on a floor of an unfurnished apartment during college. Not fun to feel metal springs pressing on your back all night.

Here’s a tip dude.

$300 = really crappy mattress/box spring/frame

$50 = really AWESOME camping hammock.

Need to hack the way you think to survive the coming economic obliteration.
