First Solstice

For my Secret Snowflake @tomtenadia

Nesta spends her first Solstice sober in Illyria, unable to bring herself to brave the inner circle celebration for a second year in a row.

Word Count: 5500+

There was something soothing about a room being so crowded it became hard to breathe. Better still when the music was so loud you can’t hear yourself think. Best when bodies are grinding, booze is flowing, and something to smoke is being passed around. Everyone was here for the same reason, everyone wanted a distraction. Amren had made several comments that she couldn’t believe Nesta got males to go home with her when she smelled like sweat and a distillery. She apparently didn’t understand that everyone smelled the same at places like this.

The band was better than usual. The music was… actually good. Maybe that’s why the bar was extra packed today. Or maybe it was because Solstice was tomorrow and no one wanted to think about all the ways they’ve disappointed their families this year.

Disappointing. The male she dragged into the bathroom was just that. He wasn’t even worth the time she wasted not getting another bottle of wine. She didn’t even let him finish before booting him out and stumbling back to her favorite stool. The bartender knows her by now and has mulled wine waiting.

It’s warm and more mulled than wine. She nodded to him. They know how to take care of her here, she certainly spends enough. Leo is decent enough to warn her off of the less than savory types that might be interested in more than even she was willing to give. She sighs back into the glass. Why she felt the need to judge herself when tomorrow she was going to get 5 times over from Feyre and insipid little family was why she needed another glass.

She turned around in her stool, facing back out, watching the crowd move in a formless mass. This band had changed over. The new one wasn’t nearly as good. Several months haunting bars and clubs to all hours in the morning had provided Nesta a proper sampling of Velaris’ bands, and, in her mind, gave her a liberty to criticize as she saw fit. This crater-faced crooner was pitchy and couldn’t move a room if he winnowed them. That earlier one had a woman out front. She was unusual for a Fae. She was beautiful, yes, but she wasn’t the wispy waif most fae women were. She was tall and built, covered in a layer of extra fat that filled out wonderful curves and jiggled when she danced. But that wasn’t what made her remarkable. Her voice took your heart by the ears and pulled you into the emotion she wanted you to feel.

“Weird compliment, but I’ll take it.”

“Lor-Cass said you weren’t going home this year,” Emerie placed the breeches she was folding into a pile of identical wares.

“I didn’t go home last year, either,” Nesta swished the black liquid in her cup as she reviewed the ledgers. Last Solstice only served to remind Nesta how much of a stranger she was to her own family, to Feyre’s new one. She would never be able to call that debacle “going home.” This year, however, she could avoid Velaris. Being banned from the city meant Feyre no longer had the ability to force her into attending farcical family meals, no matter how pissy she was about it.

She closed the books with a sigh and placed them back into a drawer. “Numbers look good.”

Emerie moved her pile of pants over to their shelf. “Thanks for looking over them, I haven’t had anyone to check my math since dad.” Nesta nodded and pulled out the books and notepads Emerie kept hidden with her accounting ledgers.

She leafed through to the furthest marked page. “You didn’t get much further last night,” she commented.

“Ah, no time, had to process a big shipment.”

“It’s fine,” Nesta muttered. 5 words underlined. Not the most, not the least. She reviewed the best-guess at the words definition in Emerie’s notebook. Most were correct. She added pronunciation guides next to some. “Macabre means bloody, gruesome.”

“Why is there an R in it?”

“Because the gods are cruel.” She heard Emerie’s answering laugh. “You’re doing well though. We can probably move on to actually writing.” She didn’t really think it would be that hard for Emerie to learn to read and write. She ran this business - she was clearly whip-smart, just uneducated. It could easily be remedied.

“In the meantime, can you answer the orders?”

This little arrangement worked out nicely. Nesta lended her books and made her literate, meanwhile she would help out with store correspondence and would review the books. Reviewing the books was less about checking Emerie’s math - that she had a natural understanding for - and more about making sure each transaction had sufficient notes.

She took another sip from her night-black liquid. The best part of Illyria, in her mind, was this coffee thing. It didn’t grow locally, needing a warmer climate for the source plant to thrive, but it had become a staple in the tribes as a way to keep troops moving with minimal sleep. Hot and bitter, it really shouldn’t have been as pleasant to drink as it was, but she found herself unable to stop.

“When does Lo- Cass head down south?”

“He should be meeting everyone Solstice morning and be back the day after.”

“What are you going to do?”

Stare at the liquor bottles he filled with water to tease me. Drink my weight in coffee and stand outside Devlon’s house at 2 am sending waves of power over the door to fuck with him until some asshole walks by and works up the balls to ask me back to their place - or die of exposure. Whatever’s first.

“Not sure, why?”

“Would you… I don’t know… want to spend tomorrow with… me?” Emerie had approached the table, tapping her fingers with each phrase. Nesta looked her up and down. If it was anyone else, she would have thought Cassian put her up to it. But she was also alone for the holidays, and Nesta knew that was probably a much bigger deal for the Illyrian than it was for her. She had mentioned once that she didn’t have many people since her father died. Adding in that Emerie didn’t do anything she didn’t want to do... If she was asking, it was because she wanted to spend this day with Nesta.

She smiled at her friend, “Come over whenever.”

Dinner was hot and ready when she came in. Cassian always made sure that their meals were piping. His own way of combating the awful wet cold of Illyria. She had to wonder if part of it also had to do with keeping the fires low in the house.

Nesta kicked off her boots by the door and carried them to the fireplace. She set them down next to Cassian’s - the secret to warm feet, he’d said. Their coat rack was also by the fireplace for similar reasons. She gently felt the socks left hanging there- warm, thank the Wall. She pulled off her damp knits and left them in a pile on the floor while pulled on the fresh clothes. They went up to hang immediately after.

“Do you need to take every peg? Emerie’s store is only 5 minutes away,” Cassian called from across the house. He was standing in the kitchen with two bowls of stew.

“Five minutes flying, 25 walking,” she turned to him. “Through a foot and a half of snow.”

She pointed to the bottom of her dress and the crust of ice that had formed there. He grimaced.

“I would have picked you up if you asked.”

“Unnecessary.” She pulled the dress over her head and left it to hang on the coat rack. After months of living together, they had long overcome the initial discomfort with mild nudity. Not that she was anywhere near naked. She still had the chemise that ended at her knees, her wool sleeves, her knitted belly warmer, and a double layer of wool hose. She was more covered than either Amren or Morrigan on any given day. Finally in only dry clothes, she marched over the kitchen and took the bowl from Cassian.

Four months of living with Cassian in Illyria was… surprisingly easy. The mountains were peaceful, simple. The way of life here is more similar to the human society she grew up with than the magical speed of Velaris. Emerie was a pleasant discovery. She still wanted a drink, desperately, but the biting cold had a similar numbing effect if you stood out in it long enough. The worst part was being dragged out of bed at dawn for “training”. Though her training was less about learning to fight herself and more about standing around the training rink terrifying males while Cass tried to teach little girls to throw a punch.

Coincidently she hadn’t gotten laid in 4 months either.

“As much as I love seeing you in your underwear, you do have very nice, very warm leathers.”

“Bite me,” she said as she shoveled food in her mouth. She had made it this long avoiding putting those damn things on. She wasn’t going to cave now. No matter how much imagining the fur lining made her whimper.

He smiled down at her, making a point of flashing his teeth. “Gladly.” Whatever mischief was running through his thoughts cleaned itself up as he changed subjects. He was the other surprise. The animosity between them was turned down to a polite simmer. Oh they still bickered, and they flirted. They never said it, and God willing never would, but any edges of disgust in their banter had long been smoothed by fondness. “Az will be picking me up at 7 tomorrow. If you change your mind about coming with me, be ready to go then.”

“I won’t,” she answered, choosing not to tell him that she would be spending the day with Emerie.

Surprisingly, he didn’t push.

“Oh good, you’re up. I’m making breakfast, if you want.”

Nesta woke up in a bed that was far too clean to be her own. Her head ached, her throat was dry, and she was naked. She sat up and took in her surroundings. This room was not hers. She had less furniture and more piles of shit everywhere. She was trying to figure out how she got there when the door opened and a woman came wandering in.

Nesta recognized her as soon as she spoke and finally recalled the night prior. She was the singer for that band. They chatted each other up at the bar for hours, getting progressively drunker. By the time the bar closed they stumbled home - going to hers because it was closer. They jumped each other as soon as the door closed. It was a new experience for Nesta, being with a woman. And it was good. The singer sounded as lovely when she came as she did when she belted.

Staying for breakfast would be nice. Something real in her stomach to soak up the alcohol was very needed. And if she played it right, there was a chance for as lovely a morning as there was a night.

“Yeah, I’ll be out in a minute.”

Nesta waited until her partner had left the room before she pulled on her dress and snuck out the window.

Lovely wasn’t what she deserved.

___

No training didn’t mean that Nesta didn’t wake up at first light. It just meant she didn’t need to get dressed. Part of the initial torture of first arrival was learning that Cass put her in an east facing room with larg windows on the walls - and refused to let her have curtains. Privacy apparently wasn’t as important as making sure she didn’t have oversleeping as an excuse.

She swore at the sun, as she did every morning, and felt around in the bed next to her. Before getting out from under the covers, she pulled on her fluffy robe. This little trick she learned back in the hut. Sleep with the clothes you’re going to wear if you want them to be warm in the morning.

She trudged out to the main room and kitchen, beginning the process of preparing breakfast. Another rule of the house, if you are up first, you cook first. Same for dinner and coming home. Lunch they were on their own. There was a housemaid when she first arrived, but… she didn’t last long. She found the tea kettle and set about making hot water while she poured oats into bowls. From their icebox - a box they just left sealed outside to let winter keep cold - she pulled out a package of cured bacon. The kettle whistled, and she used the entire batch to steep the coffee. The next round of water was for the oatmeal.

The shadows between the windows grew and darkened. Before he even stepped out, Nesta greeted him.

“I’m making coffee. Get a cup if you want some.”

“Thank you. I’ll take bacon, too, if you don’t mind.”

“It’s Cass’s money,” she answered, adding three more pieces to the griddle.

Azriel was the only one from Velaris that visited with any sort of regularity, mostly due to how closely he needed to work with Cassian. He would come up about once a week for updates or meetings or to winnow Cass somewhere. He had begun to make a habit out of arriving early to chat with Nesta. Sometimes he just came up to hang out with them. He probably only came up to spend time with Cassian, but since she was usually around, they included her.

No one else from the Inner Circle bothered to visit. Rhysand and Feyre came up once, but that… did not end well. Elain felt too guilty to come see the sister whose banishment she had consented to. Morrigan wasn’t even on the island, so it wasn’t a surprise she didn’t stop by. And Amren… Amren was keeping her vow to not speak to Nesta until she apologised to Morrigan. Something Nesta still didn’t think she needed to do.

Morrigan spent 4 nights a week at a gay bar. How the fuck was Nesta supposed to know she wasn’t out?

“Elain asked me to bring this,” he conjured a set of books and hand-knitted socks into existence, placing both onto the table while pouring himself a cup. The books were tied together with ribbons and decorated with small bows, clearly meant to be her Solstice present. The socks - well, Elain had taken up knitting sometime in the last year and had Azriel deliver a pair every time he visited.

“Why didn’t she just ask Cassian to bring it back with him?” Nesta scooped some brown sugar into her oatmeal.

The ever so slight blush on his cheeks told her what his answer did not. “She wanted to make sure you had a present for the holiday.”

“Because she knows how much I care about holidays,” and it had nothing at all to do with you leaving from her room this morning and it seeming convenient at the time. They wanted to be discrete, and Nesta accepted that - no matter how bad they were at hiding it. She poured in the hot water into her breakfast and stirred. “Any messages with that present?”

“The bacon looks done.”

“Azriel.”

He sighed. “No.”

Nesta tightened her jaw and moved the bacon from the stove to a plate, allowing him to have a piece. She wasn’t sure if she was more pissed that he didn’t have a message or that she was still hoping he would. Either way she was going to play it off. “I’m surprised they didn’t have you hock me about going, too.”

Az cocked his head. “Cass made it pretty clear you weren’t ready for that.” She snapped up at him.

“And what was his barometer for knowing if I was ready?” She sneered.

But Az only shrugged, well accustomed to playing referee for Cassian and Nesta by now. “You not wanting to go.”

Nesta was still thinking about Azriel’s answer by the time Emerie came over. She couldn’t decide if Cassian was being a presumptive ass or if he was being genuinely considerate. He had a habit of being both interchangeably. Like when he finally made his way to the kitchen, fully dressed and demanding breakfast. He added in some last minute jabs about coming back early if she got lonely as Az winnowed away with him. And even through the mocking tone, the message was clear. “If you don’t want to be alone, just say the word and I’ll come back.”

He still didn’t know she was spending today with Emerie then.

“Do you not own any decorations or do you just not like them?” she asked, looking around the room.

“What decorations?” Nesta strained in her thoughts, there was a lot of extra shit in Feyre’s living room last year…

“Solstice decorations.You know, candles, holly, garlands,” Emerie explained. It sounded like what Feyre had up - and what most of Velaris had up - but in all honesty she was not sober enough last year to make the connection that it was for the holiday and wasn’t just some seasonal nonsense. Emerie squinted at her and placed a wrapped box on the table. Presents!

Fuck. That’s right. Fae exchange presents on the Solstice.

“I honestly don’t know.”

Emerie squinted at her. “What do you mean you don’t know?”

Nesta shrugged. “Humans don’t have holidays.” At most they had festivals, but they were distinctly not holidays, just an excuse to drink and dance with as many strangers as possible. The closest thing they had to a formal holiday was Treaty Day, and even that was not the intimate affair this seemed to be. She hadn’t even heard of a Solstice dinner until Feyre asked her to go last year.

“How do you not have holidays?” she asked.

“Holidays used to be very dangerous days to be human.” There were plenty of horror-stories around the suffering of human slaves on religious days. Whether they were being traded as gifts or killed as sacrifices... even if the stories were exaggerations, it led to whole-sale rejection of everything religious by human society.

“So you know nothing about solstice?” Emerie placed a hand on her hip.

“It is the longest night of the year.”

Emerie made it her mission to instruct Nesta on the finer points of an Illyrian solstice. First and foremost, every 5 years it was the last day of the Blood Rite. The theme of doing battle still continued in the other years, most tribes had hunts or tournaments for the men to mark the occasion. Women were expected to work the day to prepare for the night. The night of the Solstice was the only true peace Illyria ever saw. Solstice nights were for feasting, music, and dancing. Fighting after dark was strictly forbidden. Gifts were expected between families, friends, and especially rivals. It symbolized an acceptance that though Illyrians may compete with one another, they were still members of one army.

“Does this tribe have a tournament?” Nesta asked. Cassian hadn’t mentioned anything about it, or a feast afterwards, but he might not have thought her interested. Or ready, she thought ruefully.

“Devlon hosts a melee tournament. Puts all the entrants in the ring together and waits to see who comes out. The large feast at the end is prepared by entrant’s families,” Nesta knew she meant women in those families, “For the entrants and their families. Dad didn’t enter, so we would just watch the tournament and then spend the night at home.”

“Do you want to watch the tournament this year?”

“Yeah but you’re still in your pajamas,” Emerie laughed.

She watched by the door as Nesta dressed in her warmest clothes. Watching men fight on her day off wasn’t exactly Nesta’s idea of a good time. But Emerie wanted to go. And Cassian had tried to make the decision of whether or not she should go by not telling her about it, so that in and of itself made her want to go. Because neither were entering, and certainly neither were cooking, they wouldn’t be able to attend the feast after. But that’s just as well. A night back at the house with hot drinks and Cassian’s pantry seemed just fine to both of them.

The tournament took place in the training rings. Normally the 5 or so rings were roped off from one another, allowing different ages and skill levels to train separately. But today Devlon had taken down the separators, providing an obnoxiously large space for his melee. But it was needed. It seemed every one of Devlon’s soldiers signed up for the tournament. About 200 competitors, ranging from small boys to grown men. There were even some father-son pairs helping each other warm up in the ring.

Outside the rings, there was yet another crowd of voyeurs. Women and girls taking breaks from their preparations to watch, the merchant families - like Emerie’s, and the men too old and frail to compete anymore. Standing at the head of it all was Devlon, a poor-man’s Cassian. He caught wind of them walking up and immediately flared at the sight of Nesta before turning back to the tournament. Being a witch in Illyria had certain perks. Devlon’s apprehension being only part of it. The crowd parting for them, allowing them to stand at his side and have the best view, was another.

“Soldiers!” Devlon called as he stepped forward. All 200 men turned to him at attention, well trained by now. “You know the rules. No siphons, no weapons, no flying, no killing. You fall, you’re out. You yield, you’re out. You get knocked out of the ring, you’re out. The last men standing at sunset wins.” He raised his arm in the air, making it visible to all. He took one last look around the ring, took a breath, and dropped his arm and stepped back as he bellowed, “Lay on!”

The chaos was immediate. One of the younger kids, there without a father to hold them up, fell immediately. The rest were at each other's throats, kicking, punching, wrestling. Part of her was worried that the battle-royale would be too similar to the war. But without the clang of steel and the geysers of blood, she found this was more similar to the crowded dance halls in Velaris. Devlon, now standing next to the girls, kept his eyes on the mock-battle as he spoke. “I thought you’d be with Cassian today.”

“And miss a battle royale? Honestly Devlon, do you know me at all?” She smiled at him, relishing how he flinched at her grin. “Can’t help but notice none of the girls are competing.”

His jaw tightened. “The Solstice melee is not training. It’s tradition.”

“Now you said the same thing about the girls training, too, did you not?” Nesta had no interest in ever learning how to fight herself, and didn’t really care if girls trained or not. But there was a difference between choosing not to do something and not being allowed to do something.

“If Lord Cassian wants to insert his views here as well, he should be here to do it himself.” The harsh words were undercut by the bead of sweat racing down his cheek. He wasn’t wrong. That was part of the reason Cass was stationed up here full time. Changing the rules around women required full time intervention. In Nesta’s mind, it also required more input from the women, but that was a discussion for another time.

“Maybe next year,” Nesta yawned. She watched the battle progress. After the initial early eliminations, they had plateaued into a minor stalemate. Some alliances also became clear. Groups of friends or families fighting together, watching each other’s back, catching each other before they fell. She didn’t cheer as the crowd or Emerie did. Rather, her and Devlon seemed to be the only calm people there.

Then… something odd happened. One of the teenage boys fell suddenly. He didn’t seem to get hit particularly hard, for one. And secondly, he didn’t get back up. Both Devlon and Nesta leaned forward, looking closer. She saw it first, sniffed it out. Blood. The boy had been hit in the side and was bleeding from the wound.

“Devlon,” she said very carefully.

“I know, I didn’t see who did it.”

“We need to get him out.”

“His friends will get him out.”

She held her breath, watching. No one came. She hadn’t been watching him particularly, but she didn’t remember him teaming up like the others. The way they walked around him… “He doesn’t have friends,” she snarled. Even Emerie gulped as Nesta’s anger stirred the well of her power. Cass told her stories. Back when the shakes and cold sweats were unbearable, he stayed up with her and told stories, trying to distract her through it. Trading one dark truth for another. She told him about watching her mother die, he told her that he was alone for years until Rhys. A bastard that was left to fend for himself, potentially to die if he wasn’t strong enough. From the way they walked over this kid, he was the same. She needed to get him out of there. He was bleeding out and no one was doing a damn thing about it.

“We cannot interfere with the melee,” Devlon said, “it’s against the rules.”

“So is weapons, but someone clearly has a knife,” she spat. Devlon didn’t say anything to that. He just kept scanning the make-shift battlefield, searching. “There!” he shouted, and his green siphon flashed. Another teenager was plucked into the air by his wings. He kicked and thrashed, a small knife in his fist. Devlon pulled the kid to him, releasing his magic’s grip and decking as asshole as he got in range. The boy went down with just that one hit.

But the first boy was still out there. He was still bleeding out. Alone in a crowd. He was going to die. He was going to die in this little mock battle where killing was strictly forbidden. Was this why Cassian didn’t tell her about it? Did he have holidays like this? Did older boys gang up on him and try to kill him without anyone noticing? Was he left alone to bleed on his own?

“Nesta!”

Emerie’s voice was farther away than it should have been, and muffled by a crowd of idiots fighting with one another. She wasn’t entirely sure how she got here, but Nesta was standing over the fallen boy. As they registered her presence, one by one the soldiers stopped. “The witch.” “It’s the witch.” “Why is the witch here?” She ignored them all, kneeling down to the injured. He was pale and grimacing, having lost a lot of blood - still losing it, actually. The knife had gotten him just below the ribs, catching who knows which organs. Without another word she picked him up, allowing his head to rest against his shoulder and his body to rest on her torso.

She turned back to Emerie and Devlon, one watching with concern, the other pissed as hell. She stepped towards them, slowly, carefully. She didn’t want to jostle the kid’s injuries more than necessary. No one came near her as she walked out of the ring. At first she thought it was the same as the audience, that they were simply afraid of the witch. But a glance around gave her a different answer.

Her power extended around her in a sphere, creating barriers of ethereal flowing silver. The grass around her withered and died, and no man here wanted to see what would happen if they touched the walls of silver flames. When she got to the edge of the ring, the rope touched her power and rotted to nothing. She didn’t know how this boy still lived in her arms, but he was still breathing- barely. She spoke to both Devlon and Emerie.

“He needs a healer.”

“I’ll find Marta and have her meet you at the house.”

Nesta nodded to her friend and turned to walk the familiar path to Cassian’s house, her power dying down as she crossed the threshold.

Marta arrived at the same time she did. They set the kid down on the kitchen table as the old woman got to work. The boy did get stabbed, but only in the liver. It took longer than Nesta would have thought, certainly longer than the battlefield-healing she remembered from the war, but Marta was able to stabilize him and stitch him up. She left them with instructions to make sure the boy didn’t get infected or pop a stitch in the night.

“Not how you planned to spend the Solstice, I’m guessing?” Nesta asked.

Emerie tilted her head, “No but seeing every warrior in the village piss himself is worth it.” She slumped down on the couch. “We have a moment, want to open your present?” she gestured to the box on the table.

“Y-yeah, just let me grab yours.” Nesta ran back to her room. She grabbed the stack of books Elain bought her, still wrapped from this morning. Definitely a faux paus, but she would never know.

Nesta came back out with the present and set it in front of Emerie. “Happy Solstice.” The look of awe and excitement was worth it. As Emerie began to untie the books, Nesta began to unwrap her present. Under the paper was a long, thin box. She unlidded it to find a set of leather and wood hair pins - Illyrian style hair pins, made to not get cold in winter.

“Thank you,” she said, still admiring the etching on the leather thong.

“I’d thank you but, I think mine goes to Elain.”

“What?” Nesta whipped her head up to see the first book open on the table and Emerie holding a hand written note. She was clearly reading it but let Nesta snatch it from her anyway.

“So should I let you borrow the books or-”

“Shush.” Emerie laughed and paged through the first novel as Nesta read the note.

Dear Nesta,

I know you are still upset with me, and with Feyre, for sending you away. And you are right to be upset. You were there for me, after the Cauldron and after Grayson. You held our family together after Feyre left. And when you needed us, needed me, I didn’t know how to help.

I don’t know if it is the power or just my own knowledge of you, but I knew there was nothing I could do. I knew that if I tried to help, I would only fail. And that is not an excuse. Fear of failure does not make not trying ok, but it is what I did. And I am sorry.

I know putting this in a letter hidden in a book is still the coward’s way, but I don’t think I could face you if I didn’t apologize first. I hope to have Azriel take me for a visit after the Solstice if you would have me.

Your sister,

Elain

___

They stayed up most of the night, playing cards, reading, and watching over the boy. Nesta had planned to stay up the full night, but using her power that day and waking up at 6 am had taken its toll. She found herself drowsing into her cards. Around 3am, Emerie sent Nesta to bed, agreeing to stay up and keep watch. Nesta’s head barely hit the pillow before she was out.

She woke in darkness. Not odd for her. Waking up in the middle night was fairly common. But when she looked to her window, she saw that it was not night. There was sunlight shining behind the makeshift curtain someone had thrown over her window. She pushed herself up. Who?

“You’re up.”

She turned her attention to the chair on the other side of her bed. Cassian sat there, watching over her with an indecipherable expression. She sat up.

“When did you get home?”

He ran his fingers through his hair. It was down and knotted, unusual for him. There were bags under his eyes. “Last night, before dawn. Az brought me back,” he brought his hands together and looked at her. “Emerie told me what happened. You lost control again.”

“How’s the boy?”

“Petros is fine. I moved him to my room to sleep off the rest of the potion the healer gave him.”

“That’s good.”

“No, you couldn’t,” his hands gently reached out and lifted her face to look at him. “Why couldn’t you?”

Cassian moved to the bed, sitting next to Nesta. “You lost control for him.”

“I-I couldn’t just let him bleed out,” she explained, staring at a spot on the bedspread.

Because he reminded me of you. She didn’t know if she said the words out loud or not. But Cassian’s answering kiss was so soft, so gentle, so sweet, she didn’t care. She responded to his kiss in kind, her hand cupping his face, finally feeling those perfectly chiselled cheekbones. His tongue passed over her lower lip and she opened for him, inviting him deeper. She met his tongue with her own and wrapped her hands around the back of his head, pulling him closer. He grinned through the kiss, gently placed his hand on her shoulders, and pushed her back down on the bed.

It was the first time Nesta stayed for breakfast after.

Cryptocurrency Mining

Crypto currency mining is really a endless game within this world. Bit coin, the very first decentralized money introduced in early 2000. Mining crypto currency is a intricate process of confirming trades and adding to people ledger (block-chain ). This ledger of previous trades is known as the block-chain since it's a string of cubes. The block-chain functions to validate trades to the remaining part of the system as having happened. The block-chain can be accountable for releasing fresh bit-coins. Every one of those numerous crypto coins from presence are contingent on the central idea of this block-chain.

Procedure for Mining

Thus every single trade is scrambled. Once that Gee trade happens it has inserted to some thing many reference as a"cube" before purpose that a predetermined range of trades was listed. That obstruct in the time becomes included with a string - that the block-chain - that can be found openly. Throughout mining crypto currency either Bit coin, Dash, Litecoin, Zcash, Ethereum, and more, the miner needs to Maximize recent transections in to cubes and decode a computationally tough puzzle. There are many on the web Bit coin mining websites. It has grown into a highly common means to make money.

Crypto currency is cryptographic, meaning it employs a distinctive encryption which enables controlling the creation of coins and also verifying that the trade. A cube is really useless in its own now available variant. But after applying the algorithm into a particular block. Upon fitting the miner receives a few bit-coins. To get earing Bit coin via mining, then the miner needs to be technological. Bit coin mining for benefit is quite competitive. Bit coin price tends to make it tricky to appreciate monetary gains without additionally speculating on the purchase price. The payment is dependent on how far that their hardware contributed to solving this mystery. Miners affirm that the trades, ensure they're not false, and maintain the infrastructure stirring together.

Most Useful Coins to Mine

Bit-coins aren't really a good option for beginning diggers that require a go at a tiny scale. The present in-advance speculation and upkeep expenses, and the utter scientific problem of this task, only will not allow it to be more productive for consumer degree hardware. Currently, Bit coin mining is stored to get large-scale activities since it was. Litecoins, Dogecoins, along with Feathercoins, however,, are 3 Scrypt-based digital types of money which will be the most useful money saving advantage to apprentices. At the current quote of Litecoin, a gentleman can profit somewhere in the assortment of $50 pennies to ten dollars for every single day utilizing customer degree mining gear. Dogecoins and Feathercoins would reunite slightly less reward with a identical mining equipment are still end more famous daily. Peercoins, also, is also quite a sensibly acceptable benefit for the venture of energy and time.

As more folks join the cryptocoin explosion, your final decision may receive more hard to mine as the costly hardware will probably be asked to come across coins. You're going to be forced to contribute vigorously on the off likelihood you will need to stay mining which coin, or you'll want to take your revenue and also switch to a demanding cryptocoin. Knowing the most important 3 Bit coin mining strategies will be likely where you've got to start out; this specific report centers round mining scrypt coins. Like wise, make certain you're in a state where bit coins and also Bit coin mining isn't legal.

Think about we centre around mining crypto currency. The complete Focus of mining would be to reach three things:

1. Give bookkeeping administrations into the coin system. Mining is basically every instant of routine PC accounting referred to as'checking trades'.

2. Get-paid a little reward for the bookkeeping administrations by accepting fractions of coins each handful of days.

3. Hold your own personal down expenses, including hardware and power.

Some Fundamental Requirements

A completely free private database referred to as a coin wallet. This really is actually a password-secured container which stores your earnings and also keeps a huge listing of trades. A completely free mining program package, very similar to that one from AMD, on average composed of cgminer and stratum. A registration in an online mining pool, and it is a residential district of mineworkers who combine their PCs to improve profitability and wage equilibrium. Registration for an internet currency market, at which you are able to swap your coins for normal money, and also another way round. A dependable fulltime web institution, ideally two megabits for each 2nd or faster rate. A hardware installation location on your cellar or other trendy and airconditioned space.

A workshop or custom-fabricated PC meant for exploration. Truly, you might utilize your overall PC to start, yet you wont have the ability to use PC as the digger is operating. A different dedicated PC is best. Suggestion: Don't start using a notebook, gaming system or handheld device . These instruments only aren't sufficiently successful to build wage. The price will probably be anywhere from $90 used-to $3000 brand new for each GPU or ASIC processor. Even the GPU or ASIC are the work horse of committing the bookkeeping administrations and mining job.

A residence fan to blow air across your mining PC. Mining creates heat, and heating that the equipment is essential for the own prosperity. Personal interest. You definitely call for a good desire for studying and continuous learning, since you'll find continuous creation changes and fresh procedures for updating sheet mining includes about. The ideal coin mine-workers place in hours always considering probably the most perfect ways to correct and boost their money mining operation.

Crypto currency Mining Profitability Every time a mathematical difficulty is recognized, a continuing number of bit-coins are made. The amount of bit coins generated per cube starts in 50 and can be halved each 210,000 cubes (roughly four years). The current quantity of bit coins granted a cube is 12.5. The previous bock halving happened on July 20-16 and the subsequent one will probably soon be in 2020. The estimation of adulthood can be reached using varied on the web mining systems. Development of electronic money standards, as an instance, Bit coin, Ethereum, along with Bit coin Cash has prompted enormous partnerships by businesses and this also is needed to help in substantial maturation of industry in the not too distant future.

Crypto currency mining can be a computationally intensive procedure, which demands system of several PCs for confirmation of this trade record, referred to as the block-chain. The excavators can be obtained a share of trade charges and gain a much greater possibility of locating the following block through leading high computational capability. These service trades aid in giving increased security to network customers, and promises honesty, that will be depended upon are the evident variable influencing growth of their worldwide crypto currency mining marketplace.

Admittedly, I’m Hard to See

Fandom: Beetlejuice the Musical Chapters: 2/? Pairing: Beetlejuice x OC (Holidae) The Players: Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz, Holidae Bell Word Count: 1,679 Warnings: M for Language

Notes: Gettin’ spooky up in here.

In Which Odd Happenings Occur

It took several hours of the women to fully unpack the truck and start to settle in their respective space in the house. Lydia had given Holidae the guest room next to her own bedroom on the second floor, which happened to be nearest the steps to the attic. A situation that was not Lydia's original intention, but Delia had commandeered the other bedroom to store her art pieces while she and Charles were away. Holidae wasn't the sort of person go to poking around by herself, so there wasn't a danger of her discovering the secrets lurking around the home. However, there was a zero percent chance that the resident ghost would extend the same courtesy to her friend's privacy.

The proximity of the new breather to his humble abode did not escape Beetlejuice's attention. A nagging little thought in the back of his mind warned him that this might some sort of test set up by Lydia to see how well-behaved he could be with such an opportunity.

Fuck that, he thought, not as though she could do much in retaliation.

The specter watched the girls throughout the move-in process, hovering just out of sight to not alert Lydia to his presence. One glance from her and there was good chance he would be sent back to cool off in the Neitherworld before you could say sandworm.

No, he had to stay inconspicuous, which was a struggle for the extroverted bioexorcist truth be told. He followed Holidae up the stairs to her room, picking occasionally at her sweater to make her pause and glance around to look for the stray nail or some other object she might have caught it on. At one point, her gaze had landed right on his face, her dull-green eyes staring right into his molten gold.

It made him pause, thinking that he had pushed her a little too far and the jig was up on his playtime. After a few moments, she continued her trek up the stairs, heading into her bedroom. Beetlejuice was safe, for now. The benefit to such a position was that it allowed him a very intimate look at the new house guest without her freaking out.

She was pale as Lyds; and between the smudged eye makeup and dark circles she gave the impression she hadn't slept in a good several years. Insomniacs were the best when it came to frightening breathers. Fish in a barrel. Not that he wouldn't have appreciated a harder challenge, but hey, everyone likes to have a little break now and again.

Holidae's lips were full - matching her overall face shape - but noticeably bitten. Nerves? Bad habit? Things that he definitely kept tabs on to create the perfect storm of scares for the unsuspecting breather? Yes.

Beetlejuice busied himself with being nosy while Holidae haphazardly unpacked her suitcases, moving the clothes into a nearby dresser under the window. He frowned at the lack of frilly lingerie and other scandalous things one might hide away out of embarrassment. Nothing obscene to gossip with Lydia about, how disappointing.

The only thing worth noting were the copious number of notebooks and accounting ledgers.

What was she, a nerd?

While she was distracted with the dresser, he caused one of the ledgers to "accidentally" flutter open to a random page. They were filled with detailed lists and monetary amounts; a few random acronyms he couldn't identify in the side margins. After a moment, it dawned on him that the lists were titles of Lydia's photographs and art pieces.

"Oh God/Satan, don't tell me she's an accountant." The ghost ran a hand through his hair, the green fading into a more solemn blue tone.

Lydia had told him about the growing number of followers who frequented her art shows in the human world; to which he would always offer himself up as the next model for her studies. For some reason she always turned down his offer, stating that it would be difficult to photograph a ghost that wouldn't appear on film.

Thoroughly dejected after yet another rejected, Beetlejuice decided to be a brat and take a chunk of her photographs down into the Neitherworld with him. Turns out, human paraphernalia was a hot ticket item to all the ghouls and demons down there, and he was able to make a quick'n'dirty profit off Lydia's work. Sure, he kept the profits for himself, since he was the one who had the brilliant idea in the first place.

It was only fair.

Holidae must do the same thing for Lydia topside, he surmised, although by the shabby state of her wardrobe and sparse furniture... it wasn't a profitable venture for her. Did she not know that sellers get at least a 75% cut of all deals? What do they teach breathers up here anyway?

"Gonna have to teach you the fine art of the deal, girly," Beetlejuice muttered, floating over to drape himself over the dresser. "Be happy to lend you my expertise on a whole bunch of topics."

The woman paused in folding her clothes into the dresser, looking around the room with a sour expression. She could have sworn she heard someone talking, but Lydia had gone back downstairs not too long ago. A chill up her spine made her shiver; not having noticed the temperature of the room dropping sharply.

The ghost above her grinned from ear to ear, "C'mon, I know you're not scared already, are you? I haven't even done anything. So sensitive, huh?"

Holidae hugged the sweater she had been folding against her chest tightly, her mouth curving into a pout. A faint buzzing sound... like someone mumbling constantly from several rooms away.

"It's an old house, probably fried wiring buzzing." Holidae reasoned with herself, continuing her task and closing the dresser drawer. "Maybe an animal got into the walls at some point; it's an old house, probably needs new insulation. ...or some sort of eldritch horror beckoning me into the deep abyss through some portal in my closet."

Beetlejuice snorted with a cackle, "You have no idea how accurate you are, baby doll. Oh boy, I have got to get us better acquainted."

"Lydia?" Holidae stood up straight, rubbing her arms to generate some heat. "Are you trying to talk to me?"

Soft footfalls were heard coming up the staircase, and soon Lydia's head popped into view from the doorway. She opened her mouth to reply, but what came out was a choked gasp.

Lydia could clearly see Beetlejuice balanced on the dresser beside Holidae, his expression like a snake toying with a mouse. When he noticed his bed friend staring at him, he waved enthusiastically, his hair turning a bright, luminescent green. Her jaw worked up and down like a gaping fish, her brain furiously scrambling to process the scene.

"Babes! Aren't you going to introduce me to your breather buddy?" He vanished and then reappeared on Holidae's bed, lounging like a great cat. "Teach her the magic words and we'll have the best housewarming party."

Holidae noticed Lydia's distressed expression, "Lyddy! What happened?"

"Nothing!" The tone was so high pitched it could cut glass, "You... startled me and I ran up here. I thought you like, fell or something."

Her eyes kept nervously flicking over to the bed, trying to ignore the ghost rolled around on the sheets like a child.

"Laaaaaaaame. Better come up with something quick before she gets suspicious." Beetlejuice taunted her.

"I meant the house makes things sound weird, so I rushed up," Lydia placed a hand on her hip, "Haunted and all that."

Holidae's eyebrows furrowed, "Right. So, the buzzing noise is a portal to another dimension, yeah? Just want to make sure none of my clothes get stretched out by demons trying them on."

Lydia laughed, "Exactly. Demons aren't exactly known for being petite."

"I resemble that remark." Beetlejuice hissed, sitting up on the bed and smoothing out his striped suit.

"Good to know." Holidae cleared her throat, "Oh, hey, mind if I snag some extra blankets? You weren't kidding about the drafts in here."

"Third door to the left," Lydia gestured out into the hallway, moving aside as the other woman moved past her.

As soon as they were alone, Lydia marched over and grabbed Beetlejuice by his tie, putting them nose to nose with each other. The childish attitude he had was completely dropped, replaced by with a much more placating tone.

"Now now, babes, I wasn't bothering her that much. Just wanted to know what was going on since you hadn't come and said hello yet." He held up his hands in a surrendering gesture. "How was I supposed to know she would be thoroughly engrossed by my humble presence."

"Nothing about you is humble, BJ." The deadpanned tone said it all. "What did I say about Holidae?"

There was a pause, "...that when there's a school holiday you get to come visit longer?"

"Beetlejuice," Lydia let go of his tie, running a hand over her face in anguish. "No."

Beetlejuice winced at the use of his full name, "Okay, okay... I know. Don't bother her. But Lyds, she looked right at me. She knows I'm around! You're not gonna deny me the chance to be seen, are you?! You were the last human in aaaaages that could see me first thing."

As much as she wanted to stay angry, to say him name three times and banish him for a while as punishment for breaking her rules, she couldn't refuse his plea. It was true what he said: she had been the first living person to notice him in a long time. To end his invisibility. If Holidae could already feel him around... maybe it was better to treat the subject like a band aid and rip it off quickly.

With a heavy sigh, she rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Give me some time to ease her into the idea."

"That's why you're my best bestest friend, babes." He loosened his tie, vanishing from the room.

Empowering Young Minds: Introducing Kids to Bitcoin

In today's rapidly evolving digital world, financial literacy is more important than ever. Among the various aspects of financial education, understanding digital currencies like Bitcoin can equip young minds with valuable knowledge about the future of money. Introducing kids to Bitcoin not only sparks their curiosity about technology but also helps them grasp foundational economic principles. Here’s how parents and educators can make the concept of Bitcoin accessible and engaging for children.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a type of digital money, often referred to as cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments, Bitcoin operates on a technology called blockchain. Blockchain is a decentralized ledger that records all transactions made with Bitcoin, ensuring transparency and security. Bitcoin books for kids introduce the concept in simple terms, explaining how digital money works through fun illustrations and easy-to-understand language.

The Basics of Blockchain

To understand Bitcoin, kids need a basic grasp of blockchain. Imagine a digital notebook where every transaction is written down and shared with everyone in the network. This makes it nearly impossible to change any transaction without everyone noticing. Blockchain ensures that Bitcoin is secure and trustworthy.

Fun and Interactive Learning

1. Use Analogies and Stories: Comparing Bitcoin to things children already understand can make learning easier. For instance, likening blockchain to a school attendance register that everyone can see can help them grasp the concept of a public ledger.

2. Educational Games and Apps: There are various kid-friendly apps and games designed to teach basic concepts of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. These tools use interactive methods to explain complex ideas in a fun and engaging way.

3. Practical Demonstrations: If possible, show kids how to use Bitcoin in real-time. There are platforms where small amounts of Bitcoin can be used for purchasing simple items. This hands-on experience can demystify how digital currency transactions work.

Teaching Financial Responsibility

Introducing kids to Bitcoin also opens up discussions about financial responsibility. Kids can learn about saving, spending wisely, and the importance of securing their digital assets. Here are some ways to instill these values:

1. Digital Wallets: Teach kids about digital wallets, the virtual equivalent of a physical wallet used to store Bitcoin. Emphasize the importance of keeping their wallet information secure, akin to not sharing a bank account password.

2. Earning and Saving: Encourage kids to earn small amounts of Bitcoin through chores or educational tasks. This not only familiarizes them with the currency but also teaches them the value of work and saving.

3. Tracking Value: Bitcoin’s value fluctuates, providing an excellent opportunity to teach kids about market dynamics and economic principles. Discussing why Bitcoin’s value changes and how it compares to traditional money can deepen their understanding.

Conclusion

Teaching kids about Bitcoin is more than just explaining a new type of currency. It's about preparing them for a digital future, enhancing their financial literacy, and equipping them with the tools to understand and participate in the evolving economic landscape. By using engaging, age-appropriate methods, we can empower young minds to grasp these modern concepts, ensuring they are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.

AWS REDSHIFT PARTIQL- A ONE STOP QUERY LANGUAGE

In this blog, we will focus on understanding the process of using AWS Redshift PartiQL and how it can be used to analyze data in its native format. But before we move on to that, let us first define the problem statement.

Data is typically spread across a combination of relational databases, non-relational data stores, and data lakes.

Some data may be highly structured and stored in SQL databases or data warehouses, other data may be stored in NoSQL engines, including key-value stores, graph databases, ledger databases, or time-series databases. Data may also reside in the data lake, stored in formats that may lack schema, or may involve nesting or multiple values (e.g., Parquet, JSON).

Every different type and flavor of data store may suit a particular use case, but each also comes with its own query language.

The result is tight coupling between the query language and the format in which data is stored. Hence, if we want to change your data to another format or change the database engine we use to access/process that data (which is not uncommon in a data lake world), or change the location of the data, we may also need to change the application and queries. This is a very large obstacle to the agility and flexibility needed to effectively use data lakes.

In this demo we will walk through the process of using Amazon Redshift PartiQL and the role it plays in simplifying the analysis of data in its native JSON format.

We focus on an approach that can help data analysts reduce the manual work and long cycles of nested json data processing by querying and running analysis that is required day to day.

AWS announced PartiQL, an open-source SQL-compatible query language, that makes it easy to efficiently query data, regardless of where or in what format it is stored.

The majority of existing analytics infrastructure relies on the “flat” storage and presentation of data assets; this can be challenging given the schema-less JSON structure.

Now, let’s take a look at our solution approach for analyzing heavily nested json documents. These documents could be from any of the industry domains.

The diagram [SD1] illustrates high level flow and components of the solution approach.

This approach demonstrates how to use schema induction tool, an open-source library with conjunction of Amazon Redshift PartiQL queries and Amazon Redshift Spectrum, which enables us to directly query and join data across the data warehouse and data lake.

It allows us to design a semi-relational schema, where data analysts can quickly combine relational and non-relational data from multiple resource tables.

We use PartiQL in Amazon Redshift Spectrum to query over data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

· Amazon Redshift Spectrum runs complex SQL queries directly over Amazon S3 storage without loading or other data preparation, and AWS Glue serves as the meta-store catalog for the Amazon S3 data.

· It facilitates the running PartiQL queries on Amazon S3 prefixes containing documents stored as JSON files.

· Configuration driven Python wrapper leverages the schema induction tool to generate the external table structure on top of Json documents reside in S3 buckets

· Configuration file contains source file location, target location, redshift cluster details (host, port & credentials)

· Python wrapper gets the generated external table script and create the table by executing the DDL script on the redshift spectrum.

· Once the external table gets created, we can query on the data from any of the application using PartiQL.

S3 Storage and JSON Data

We focus on an approach of analyzing hierarchical data in JSON formats and is applicable to various data standards in industry domains like healthcare, insurance, retail, etc.

In this example, we have used claims documents in FHIR format, as it is a good use case of heavily nested json structure and uploaded these to S3 bucket.

Fig. Sample JSON Format

Schema Induction Tool

To analyze the data, we first need to create the external table for the claims data.

The claims table DDL must use special types such as Struct or Array with a nested structure to fit the structure of the JSON documents. The Schema Induction Tool is a java utility that reads a collection of JSON documents as stream, learns their common schema, and generates a create table statement.

The Schema induction tool is available at AWS GitHub account.

Building Schema Induction Tool

To build the schema you can build the code yourself from the github repo or download the release artifacts from maven center.

You can use amazon sagemaker notebook or any linux machine to generate the create table DDL script for claims data.

As a part of our approach, we have used linux machine with open-jdk to build schema induction tool and the linux machine is also setup with aws-cli to access the AWS resources.

We used below command for cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-redshift-json-schema-induction.git

This downloaded code can be used to build the package and bundle it into jar file.

cd amazon-redshift-json-schema-induction

mvn package

This will create a schema-induction-1.0.0.jar at location amazon-redshift-json-schema-induction /schema-induction/target

Check that the schema induction tool is ready and review the help guide.

java -jar aws-json-schema-induction.jar -h

Run the command with required parameters to generate the create statement DDL.

# As we can see the create statement DDL is generated and stored in a file.

Provision External Schema

Go to Glue console and create an empty database with any name. We have named it as fhir.

Create an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows your Amazon Redshift cluster to access the S3 bucket. We have named it as fhir-role.

On your Amazon Redshift cluster, make sure you added the IAM role so you can run the queries and access Amazon S3 and AWS Glue and that the status shows as in-sync.

Create the external schema in Amazon Redshift by entering the following code:

create external schema fhir

from data catalog

database 'fhir'

region us-east-1'

iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::us-region:role/fhir-role';

This step of provisioning external schema is one-time process, which stores schema of schema of external tables to created.

1. Creating External Table

We developed custom python-based wrapper, which reads the configuration file get the details of input file location, target DDL file location, table name and redshift cluster details.

Fig. Configuration file

It prepares the command based on configuration details and pass this command to schema induction tool.

Schema induction tool generates the create external table DDL script.

The python wrapper then connects with Amazon Redshift cluster to execute the ddl script and create an external table in the redshift spectrum.

Using python wrapper, we have automated the process of generating DDL script and creating external table on redshift cluster by modifying configuration details.

2. Querying External Table

Now you can query the claims data stored in fhir format using PartiQL Queries and this native SQL approach to unnest the array is one of the corner stones of the PartiQL.

The query also uses the dot notation to access attributes in nested structures, such as c.patient.reference, which accesses the reference attribute inside the patient structure that is in the claim document.

The following query scans all documents in the users. Claims table and retrieves information from each claim.

SELECT c.id,c.status,

c.patient.reference as patient_ref,

SPLIT_PART(c.patient.reference,'/',2) as patient_key,

d.sequence as diag_seq,

d.diagnosisReference.reference as diag_ref

FROM fhir.Claims as c,

c.diagnosis as d

WHERE c.status = 'active'

The claim.diagnosis is an array that might contain multiple objects; it is therefore referenced in the SQL from clause and joined with the parent document implicitly, then attributes from the diagnosis element can be retrieved in the SELECT clause.

The following query performs a simple aggregation over the claims data:

SELECT c.status,count(*) as cnt, sum(c.total.value) as total

FROM fhir.Claims as c

GROUP BY c.status,c.patient.reference

You can directly analyze FHIR format without creating massive, normalized design, and can leapfrog over competitors to save tremendous investments in data modeling and ETL maintenance.

Congratulations! You have successfully queried Nested JSON Stored in S3 bucket through Amazon Redshift Spectrum using PartiQL language.

Through this demo, you have witnessed the power of Amazon Redshift PartiQL and how your data engineer team can handle complex JSON Data formats easily with automation.

Reach out to us at Nitor Infotech to learn more about how adopting these technologies can bring innovation to various industry domains and unlock new benefits and cost-optimization.

4 Money Tips from 4 Personal Finance Legends

Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Brandon Krieg. So you’re a rugged, manly man. You change your own oil, shave with a straight razor, and can deadlift 500 pounds. Great! However, you can’t be a true stud without strong financial skills. A lot of people mentally file financial plans under “things I’ll worry about later.” For some, the process seems overly complicated. For others, the idea of sifting through the mountain of books, blogs, and opinions seems overwhelming. After all, there are so many money “experts” out there — how do you separate the wheat from the chaff? Fortunately, building a strong financial foundation starts with four simple, actionable steps. While the road to wealth is long, there are a few key things you can do today to put yourself on track. And you don’t need to take my word for it! Instead, you can draw wisdom from four of the most respected names in finance: John D. Rockefeller, George Clason, Dave Ramsey, and Robert Kiyosaki. Below you’ll find four of their best tips; by acting on these lessons, you too can become a master of money. #1. Budget Wisely, and Give Every Dollar a Job (John D. Rockefeller) Let’s start with the basics. Before you know where to go with your money, you must understand where you are. No one demonstrated this better than John D. Rockefeller, who started from extremely humble beginnings and became the richest man in the world. From a young age, Rockefeller kept a small ledger with him at all times. He recorded every dollar he received, spent, donated, and invested. Bookkeeping became a way of life, and even after making millions, he loved to pore over financial records. In his own words, from a talk given at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church: “Now let me leave this little word of counsel for you. Keep a little ledger, as I did. Write down in it what you receive, and do not be ashamed to write down what you pay away. See that you pay it away in such a manner that your father or mother may look over your book and see just what you did with your money. It will help you to save money, and that you ought to do.” Your budget is where it all starts. Budgeting is not a boring chore, but a tool to help you achieve self-mastery. Instead of a basic accounting of inputs and outputs, it becomes a declaration of your priorities. How do you start budgeting in a sustainable way? First, create a clear and concise record of where your money is currently going. The easiest method is to look at your bank and credit card statements, and record what you have actually spent in the last three months. This is the only way to realistically analyze your purchasing behavior. Depending on your habits, this may be a bit painful, and a bit embarrassing. And if you’re doing it with your significant other, you may unearth some things you didn’t expect. However, it is crucial to your future success. Next, you need to determine your priorities. Your past actions do not dictate your future decisions. You can in fact use your money differently. What’s important to you? Do you want to save up for a nicer place to live? Would you like to go on a great vacation? How about tackling that mountain of student debt? The choice is yours. The point is to decide deliberately, and act intentionally. Working within a budget allows you to gain control of your financial life, and build your future in a direction of your choosing. Fortunately, you no longer have to use a little notebook like Rockefeller (unless you want to, of course!). There are some great websites and apps to make this process much easier, and help you think differently about your money. My wife and I use You Need a Budget, and it has been a fantastic tool. Other people use Mint.com, and it works well for them. But whether you use a notebook, a smartphone, or a system of envelopes, a budget can change your life. #2. Pay Yourself First (George S. Clason) Now that you have a great budget to steer you toward your priorities, it’s time for the next step: increasing your ability to reach those goals. For that, we’ll turn to someone most folks may not have heard of. George Clason was a soldier, author, and entrepreneur, and is best known for parables on thrift and wealth building. While you may not know his name, you’ve probably heard of his most famous work, The Richest Man in Babylon. First published in 1926, the book contains many gems of wisdom. However, its most famous maxim is simple: pay yourself first. Rather than paraphrase, let’s go right to the source: “Now I shall tell thee the first remedy I learned to cure a lean purse. Do exactly as I have suggested. . . . For every ten coins thou placest within thy purse take out for use but nine. Thy purse will start to fatten at once and its increasing weight will feel good in thy hand and bring satisfaction to thy soul. Deride not what I say because of its simplicity. Truth is always simple. I told thee I would tell how built my fortune. This was my beginning. I, too, carried a lean purse and cursed it because there was naught within to satisfy my desires. But when I began to take out from my purse but nine parts often I put in, it began to fatten. So will thine.” Sounds simple, right? It is. It also probably seems impossible. Put away the first 10% of your income, without touching it? No way. The utility bills press in, the rent is due, and the internet doesn’t pay for itself. And once your needs are met, there are lattes to sip, movies to see, and new phones to buy. While there are exceptions, for the most part this applies across income levels. Your standard of living will be remarkably similar when you start living on 90% of your pay, and you will finally have the capital to make progress toward your other goals. Don’t believe me? Run an experiment, and test it for yourself for just three months. Again, modern tools can aid you in your noble quest. Set up transfer rules with your bank, so the money automatically moves to a less accessible location. Or use one of the budgeting tools above to immediately allocate at least 10% of your gross income to a different category. While it’s tough for the first couple months, you will immediately notice a positive change in your accounts. #3. Live Below Your Means (Dave Ramsey) Now that you’re sticking to a budget, and saving the first 10% of your income, it’s time to make choices about where to spend the rest. And for advice about using the remaining cash, let’s turn to a financial expert of modern times: Dave Ramsey. Ramsey, just like all of the folks on this list, embraces some ideas I don’t personally believe in (or follow). But when it comes to encouraging frugal living, he is a standard bearer. Here’s but a sample of his wisdom, from The Money Answer Book: “We live among a bunch of people who are deeply in debt and have no money saved because their emotions were tricked. Just like drug addicts, people have been conned into believing that happiness will come with the next purchase. You probably think I am writing about someone else, but I’m not. I am writing about you. I know because I am suffering from the same disease — but I am recovering and so are many of you. The human spirit was not created to attain peace, contentment, or fulfillment by gathering more stuff.” Cuts pretty deep, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, we have been marketed to since birth. Commercials, billboards, and pop culture have told us over and over again that happiness is something that can be purchased. But deep down, you know the truth. That new car, bigger house, or new iPhone cannot, and will not, bring long-term contentment. By changing our mindsets, we can choose to live more frugally, and be happier as a result. If driving a 10-year-old car reduces your monthly bills by hundreds of dollars, it’s probably worth it. If you choose a smaller home, but don’t get cold sweats thinking about your payment, that’s a worthy trade. If no one ogles your new cell phone, but you have enough money for your dream vacation, you’ve made a wise choice. Be thrifty and thoughtful about where your money goes. Remember, it’s a lot easier to spend it than earn it. #4. Understand the Difference Between an Asset and a Liability (Robert Kiyosaki) If you’re following along, and implementing these tips, you are off to a wonderful start, and probably ahead of 90% of the population. This last key is for folks who want a bit more. Perhaps you’re looking to retire early, or move into full-time charity work. Maybe you want to save your kids from the burden of student debt, or have additional income streams outside of your job. It is possible to reach those goals through smart budgeting, solid saving, and frugal choices. However, Robert Kiyosaki, of Rich Dad Poor Dad fame, recommends an additional step if you want to become wealthy: “You must know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy assets. If you want to be rich, this is all you need to know. It is Rule No. 1. It is the only rule. This may sound absurdly simple, but most people have no idea how profound this rule is. Most people struggle financially because they do not know the difference between an asset and a liability.” Kiyosaki recommends you keep your day job, and work hard to be a great employee. However, he also champions “minding your own business” by taking control of your own financial future. Instead of putting your retirement in the hands of your company, a financial planner, or the government, he suggests you buy assets and take care of yourself. So how does he define an asset and a liability? Rather than using complex jargon or advanced accounting methods, he keeps it simple: “An asset is something that puts money in my pocket. A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket.” So, things like income-producing real estate, stocks, bonds, royalties, and mutual funds are assets. These things have value, produce income, or appreciate (and have buyers that want them). Other stuff, like your personal house, your car, big screen TV, boat, and student loans are liabilities, because they take money out of your pocket. These are not the definitions according to strict accounting principles. However, they help simplify a complex topic, and act as practical guideposts for your purchasing decisions. Finding the right balance is crucial. When a dollar comes in, how do you utilize it? Do you have the discipline to use your money to your advantage? Or will you let it put you further in the hole? That decision is yours to make, and it will determine your financial future. Conclusion These are four of the best tips from four of the most well-regarded financial experts in our recent history. It’s remarkable to note the striking difference between something simple and something easy. Each of these keys is simple at heart. Budget your money. Pay yourself first. Live below your means. Buy things that put money in your pocket, rather than things that take money out. However, none of these keys are easy. They require tough choices day in and day out, and the ability to delay gratification. So now, the choice is yours. Becoming a financial stud is within your grasp. Will you make it happen? _________________________________ Brandon Krieg is a real estate investor and entrepreneur based in West Michigan.
