#literally stumbling across thousands of dollars in cash

[ceciliathecabinwitch]

I think the phrase “a dollar saved is a dollar earned” is one that’s really important for magical practitioners to remember

Like, maybe it’s a skill issue on my part, but no matter how many abundance spells (or even money specific spells) I do, the result of them is never me stumbling across $1500 in the parking lot

But sometimes it is bigger things, like getting an unmentioned raise

Sometimes it’s noticing that I have more opportunities for things like pet sitting and I can get some extra pocket cash

But like, one I did several months ago was quickly followed by my partner saying “hey, you always go to the grocery store for us, let me start paying the whole grocery cost since you do the actual shopping”

I’m still getting the groceries I need, but I can save the funds that I would’ve used for splitting the costs and use it for something else

A couple weeks ago I redid some of the around the house magic I’ve got, mostly just refreshing wards and stuff, but some abundance stuff to. Among other things in this time, today my boss paid for my lunch

Not just any lunch, but lunch from a food truck we get food from sometimes that I like a lot but never really get for myself, and that gives you a huge serving, which i can almost never finish when we do get food from there, which means that this will probably be dinner too

That’s two meals that I didn’t have to buy

To me, that’s abundance, y’know?

jackson reached over to his bedside drawer, rummaging for his wallet as he caught his breath. his hands grabbed at his wallet, and he pulled out ten, crisp, one hundred dollar bills, handing it over to you. pulling up the duvet to cover your bare chest, you offer him a half-hearted smile as you take the cash from him.

"you only owe me eight hundred." you inform him, counting the bills carefully.

"yeah well, you're worth more than that." he says shrugging as he put his pyjama pants on and got up to shower. "thank you for tonight."

"you're welcome, i guess." you say quietly, watching him disappear into his bathroom as you hear his shower running.

you sigh with frustration and get up to get dressed as you collect your things, along with the thousand dollars you'd just made in one hour.

perks of being a call girl, i guess.

you and jackson had an arrangement, but you both knew it was much more than that. it started when one night, he had stumbled across an escorting service's website because he was feeling a little...lonely, though he'd never admit that. he put in a request for their top girl, and that's how he had met you. jackson was stunned when you showed up to his house for the first time — he wasn't expecting someone so beautiful and classy to be working in a business like that.

obviously, the sex was good — great, actually — for both parties. typically, you would go sleep with whoever was paying you, and you'd just act it up. you know, fake it 'till you make it. however, there was no need to fake with jackson rippner. the way he fucked you was delicious. his thick cock had you screaming and moaning for more, clawing at his back and shoulders; marking him up as he left love bites all down your neck and collarbone.

at first, yes, it really was just strictly sex. however, after maybe the third time you guys had hooked up, it was clear this was crossing the threshold of "just transactional."

there was undeniable chemistry between the two of you, and neither of you could deny it. the way he looked at you with his pale, icy, blue eyes as he fucked you sensually, and the way you moaned his name as he made you cum.

yeah, it was definitely more than just fucking, but both of you pretended not to notice it.

you did your part by taking his money and hurriedly leaving out his door as soon as he paid you, and he did his due diligence by...well, that was the problem — he wasn't. he continued to overpay you on a regular basis, compliment you in ways that seemed a little too intimate and personal, and fucked you in a way he hadn't even fucked his previous girlfriends.

don't get me wrong; he knew that he shouldn't have been doing this, but somehow he got flustered and couldn't help himself every time you came around.

he knew about your profession, but you didn't know about his. that's why it would never work — i mean, you were a hooker of all things, and he was a killer for hire.

not exactly a match made in heaven.

as you were about to leave, you thought twice about it. the sudden urge to talk to him about how you felt wasn't going away. so, hesitantly, you sit back down on the edge of his bed in the clothes you came to his house in, and scrolled mindlessly through your phone as you waited for him to finish his shower.

"oh, i thought you left." you heard his voice say as the bathroom door opened, causing you to turn around in slight embarrassment.

"sorry, um..." you say sheepishly, eyes glued to him as water dripped down his chest and a towel hung around his waistline (god, it was so hot).

"is something wrong?" he asked inquisitively, raising a brow at you as you got lost in those impossibly blue eyes of his.

"okay, um," you take a deep breath in, "correct me if i'm wrong, but sometimes i feel like we're — god, this is so embarrassing — um, i feel like there's something here. like, between us."

you feel your face burn as you finally brought up the topic you've been dying to talk to him about, and he sighs as he looks at you with an expression that you couldn't quite read.

"look," he says, coming to sit beside you, "i'm gonna be honest with you - i know that there's something between us, but if feelings are going to get in the way of our arrangement, we can just stop."

"i didn't say we should stop," you correct him, "i just...you know, wanted to see if i was just making it all up in my head? i don't know."

"you're not," he says, shaking his head, "but i think we both know it's wrong."

the conversation suddenly got very serious, very fast. you weren't really sure what to say to this. was he telling you that he had feelings for you? did he not want to see you anymore because you said something? as the thoughts and questions were compiling up in your brain, he brought you back to reality as he spoke to you softly.

"i'm just gonna straight up tell you that i've sorta developed feelings for you," he sighed, "but i think for both of our sakes, we should stop this. as much i don't want to, i really think we should."

"wait, what?" you say, frowning, "like, stop our um, arrangement?"

"i pay you to play pretend," he explained, "i pay you to pretend to want me, but in all actuality, i've started to develop fucking feelings and an...attachment to this fantasy. to the idea of you being mine or some shit."

it was almost scary how level-headed he could be in a moment like this. you wanted to tell him to shut up and just kiss him already, but it seemed that for him, his logic was taking the reigns right now.

"...i just told you i felt the same way?" you say with confusion, and he looks at you, taking in every word you were saying as if he was trying to detect any signs of dishonesty coming from you.

"i'd be saying shit like that too if i was getting paid." he said coldly, suddenly putting his walls up which hurt you a little.

"jackson," you say softly, "it's not about the money."

he doesn't say anything, but he stares at you in a way that makes you want to look away; he was so intimidating.

"maybe at first it was," you ramble on, "but for the last three months, i haven't cared about the money i just— i care about you. i don't know what else to say."

your confession had him speechless along with yourself, as you didn't expect to be telling your client you had basically fallen in love with him tonight.

"i'm no good for you," he says quietly, "i'm only going to hurt you."

"that's just what you think—"

"no, it's not. it's a fact." he cuts you off with a stern tone.

"do you love me?" you suddenly ask, feeling bold as the adrenaline rushed through your veins, but you regretted it as soon as the words left your mouth.

who asks their client that?!

"do i love you?" he asks with a scoff, "what kind of question is that?"

"a yes or no question." you say matter of factly, deciding to finally push the boundaries of whatever this was.

"i..." he tried to get his words out, but he couldn't. he couldn't say that he didn't love you, as much as he tried, because he did love you. "fuck, i— yeah."

you tried to ignore the way your heart started to beat uncontrollably as he said "yeah," and you bit your lip whilst thinking up a response. but before you could muster up the courage to say anything back, he started to talk again.

"don't tell me you don't fucking feel the same—"

"i do!" you say defensively, "of fucking course i do, jackson!"

"but that doesn't mean things can work between us."

"why not?"

"because—"

"because what, jackson?!"

"because i kill people for a living, okay? how the fuck do you think i can afford to pay you thousands of dollars a week?" he exclaimed back as his jaw clenched out of frustration.

that shut you up — you weren't expecting him to confess his love and the fact that he assassinates people for a living to you all at once. you couldn't find the right words to say, as you felt like any and everything you could say would just frustrate him even further.

"i'm gonna go," you say in a whisper, rushing to get up as he sighed from behind you, "maybe i'll see you around."

that night, you went home in silence. there wasn't a lot to say - shit hit the fan in a matter of seconds. the two of you just basically told each other that you'd fallen in love, but that it wasn't ever going to work because of external factors...

like the fact that he killed people for a living and you had sex with strangers to pay the bills.

you two didn't see each other for almost a week, but one warm, summer night on a friday, your phone started to go off. looking down at the caller id, you felt your heart start to race — jackson was calling.

hesitantly, you answer the call. "hello?" you say, wondering as to why he would be calling you not even a week after saying you and him had to "end."

"hey," he replies casually, "can we talk?"

how typical, you thought to yourself. "i thought you didn't want to talk," you say quietly, "you said yourself that this isn't going to work."

"yeah well, i say shit i don't mean all the time." he says cooly, and you rolled your eyes at his response. "come on, babydoll. i know you're thinking of me, too."

"don't play with my feelings," you scoff, "don't tell me you love me then tell me you don't want to be with me, then call me up again."

"first of all, i said we can't be together because of my job, not because i don't care about you," he corrects you, "and i just wanna talk about us. i've been thinking—"

"you said you're no good for me," you interrupt him, "don't send me mixed signals cause—"

"don't fucking start with that," he says, cutting you off in return, "you know i'm not the type to call about shit like this, or really talk about it, either."

"if you're going to be rude, i'm hanging up." you say, but he laughs softly on the other end of the line.

"relax, babydoll," he says softly, "come over, i just wanna talk, s'all. i'll pay you good, too."

"i am not fucking you." you scoff.

"for your time. god, calm down." he says, and you swore you could hear him roll his eyes over the phone.

"you don't need to do that," you sigh, "i'll come over in a bit, kay?"

"nine thirty?" he asks softly, and you agree before hanging up.

when nine thirty rolled around, you were dressed to kill — not literally unlike some people. just because you weren't going to fuck him doesn't mean you couldn't dress the part.

you pulled up outside of his home and you made your way to his doorstep; your high heels clicking on the pavement below you. he'd answered his door within seconds after you'd knocked, and he drank your appearance in.

"fuck, you look sexy," he said, biting his lip for a mere second, "come in."

"hello to you too, jackson." you say with a half smile as you playfully rolled your eyes, following him inside.

the moment you two were alone inside of his house, your hands were all over each other. of course, this wasn't supposed to happen — you were supposed to be "talking," but it seemed that neither of you wanted to face your feelings.

so, sex was the alternative. neither of you had to talk about your feelings or face the truth, and in the end, he got to cum and you got paid. it was a win win...kind of.

and this is how it continued for weeks. he'd call you up even though he swore that "this was the last time" every single time you two fucked, and he promised he was done with you and you promised you were done with him. he was in too deep, he knew he loved you, and you were too far gone — you knew you loved him, too.

he didn't know why he kept denying himself of being with you, and you didn't know why you allowed him to continue to drag the both of you down together. it was an awful thing, really. however, the cycle was never ending until one night, you decided you were through with it.

you decided your heart had gone through enough with him. this was supposed to be your job — you should have never let him string you along like this when you were falling in love. of course, you knew he felt the same way but you also knew he would never act on his feelings — he was too cold for that.

right?

so, you blocked him. you blocked his number and gave him radio silence, not bothering to give any explanation or second chances.

jackson hadn’t even realized you’d blocked him until his calls were not going through to your number, and his texts had turned green. he couldn’t believe you — the audacity!

of course, jackson was, well, jackson, and in typical stalker fashion, he had his ways of knowing absolutely everything about you, down to your exact address.

you were currently on your way home from seeing a client, and as you parked on your driveway, you noticed that the living room lights seemed to be on in your home. that's strange, you thought to yourself, i swear i turned off all the lights before i left.

you unlocked your front door, quietly making your way into your living room before letting out a shrill scream. you placed your hand right over your heart in surprise, "what the fuck," you huffed, "what are you doing in my house?"

jackson looked up at you from your couch with a smirk; he was always so cocky. "did you really think you could just block me, babydoll?" he cooed, getting up to approach you.

as much as you wanted to tell him off for literally breaking into your home, you also knew what he did for a living now. so, you figured maybe it was best not to argue with a potential serial assassin killer — he was trained in getting away with murder, after all.

"i can't keep doing this with you," you say softly, watching him as he towered over you, "i-i know you can, but i can't. it's just— i can't continue with you knowing that i, er, you know..."

"what, babydoll?" he says with a smirk, "come on, you can say it."

"knowing i, ugh, love you."

your words make him smile, and he places a hand on your cheek. "awe," he coos, "do you love me, babydoll? you just can't stop yourself from feeling this way about me? is that it?"

"jackson," you whined, but he pulled you in by your neck, "don't—"

"busy day, huh?" he says lowly, "how many guys did you see today?"

"ow," you whisper, "j-just one, we didn't even kiss—"

his grip on your neck became a little tighter, and he smirked down at you while your hands reached for his in an attempt to get him to let go. "well," he says softly, "consider that the last time you'll ever go out with another guy. fuck your job — you're mine."

gently, he lets go of your neck and decides to grab you by your waist instead, pulling your body flush against his. "what are you talking about?" you ask, resting your hands on his chest.

"can't you see what you do to me?" he whispered against your lips, giving you a gentle kiss before pulling away, "you wan't my love? fine by me, i'll give it to you, babydoll. but i don't share, and i'm never going to let you go."

the silence was eerie and the air was thick was tension, but you decided to throw caution to the wind that night.

"then don't." you whisper, and jackson instantly pulls you into a hungry kiss.

the two of you continue like this for a good while, making out against every wall in your damn house while stumbling up the stairs and desperately trying to get to your bedroom. between sloppy, heated kisses, and hands roaming over each others bodies, you finally make it to your bed (and what a miracle it was was). you straddled him on your bed as you push him onto the mattress softly.

he chuckles lowly, watching you throw your top off and revealing the gorgeous, hidden lace underneath. no matter how many times he'd seen this, he could never get tired of it — ever. his hands reached up to paw at your breasts, giving them a gentle squeeze.

"you're my girl," he sighs, "gonna show you off every fucking day, take you with me everywhere i go, every time i have a...job to do."

you giggle and help him take his suit jacket off, and unbutton his shirt along with slipping off his tie. once the two of you were fully undressed, just in your undergarments, he flipped you over so that your back was pressed into the mattress.

"say you fucking love me — say it." he growls, slipping your panties off in a rush.

"i do," you whimper, "i love you, jackson."

"good fucking girl," he groans, freeing his cock as the pre cum leaked from his pink tip, "who do you belong to?"

as he lined his cock up with your drooling entrance, you sighed, "you, i belong to you."

"that's right, babydoll." he tells you, finally pushing himself into you.

your back instinctively arches at the feeling of his fat cock filling you up fully, and even though he's fucked you on countless occasions, he always stretched your cunt out perfectly. your dripping hole was wrapped around his cock and he didn't wait a single second before setting a soft but deep pace.

"fuck, baby," he groaned, "look at how well you take my cock. it's like you were made to be my little whore."

his degrading (but also, really hot?!) words had you clenching down on him, causing both of you to let out choked moans. "you like it, don't you?" he asked, "you love being mine."

"yes!" you wailed out, "m-mhm! i love it, jackson, i love you!"

"i know you do," he cooed as he continued to push deeper and deeper into your cunt, "don't worry, babydoll, i love you too."

you whine as he continued to fuck you into oblivion, his hands coming to wrap around your leg as he hooked it over his shoulder. the new angle was mind-blowing in every way. so deep, so pleasurably painful.

you were already about to cum — but he didn't show any signs of stopping. "please," you breathlessly moan, "s-so close, ohmygod—"

"already?" he teases, "oh, babydoll. you needed to be fucked by me, didn't you? go on, show me how good my cock makes you feel."

you panted and moaned his name over and over again, and your eyes rolled back into your head. with your eyes closed, you couldn't see it — but he had the biggest, cockiest grin on his face as he watched you lose yourself from the way he was fucking you.

you couldn't find it in yourself to formulate any words as his cock drilled you senselessly, and all you could offer was broken, choked moans and breathily spoken pleas of his name. jackson was high off the way you were reacting to his very touch — he'd never seen you like this before.

usually, you two would have pretty rough sex, but this was something else. sure, it was rough but there was something else lingering in the air; love, perhaps?

yes — love.

"shit," he breathily spoke, "m'gonna cum inside- fuuuck."

as you were busy coming undone on his thick cock, he felt himself slowly tip over the edge, coming closer and closer to his own release. after a few more lazy thrusts, he was pouring himself into you with a low groan.

he pulled out after he was sure he'd filled your pussy up with every last drop of himself, and you could feel his cum dripping out of your spent cunt. he bit his lip at the sight of it — his sticky, warm fluids seeping out of your pretty pussy, mixing with your arousal. it was sending jackson into overdrive.

as he laid down beside you, he watched you closely as you crawled over and snuggled into his side. with a gentle sigh, he wrapped his arm around you tightly, holding you against him tenderly for once. jackson wasn't one to be very loving, like, at all. however, he couldn't deny that with you, he couldn't stop himself.

neither of you could take the pain of going without each other forever, and both of you knew you'd never find someone better because you were right for each other.

the silence in your bedroom was peaceful — not a word was said but all the love was there. neither of you had to say anything aloud for it to be understood.

and though it took some time for jackson to be able to articulate the feelings he was going through, once he did, there was no stopping him. you could never change his mind now — you were his, and he was yours. jackson would kill for you.

you could even say that he would die for you, too.

Long For Them. Got Them. Shit.

I saw a really cute bag lately, in the consignor store, “Treasure Dump,” close to my workplace. It was this adorably cute pink bag by Ivory, this multi-billionaire luxury fashion brand. This bag was adorned with red dots around it. I so badly want it; all I have is this stinking WcDonalds duffle bag. Compared to the bright lights that surround the bag, I look like the trash of the store. I’m wearing a grey hoodie, slowly accumulating more soy sauce stains from the local sushi shop I work at, my pants are ripping at the seams, and my bag was literally drenched in mud the other day I tripped. I also am a college student who is failing her major, and I have just been rejected to my friend’s birthday party for the 30th time this week. Needless to say, I’m a complete mess. I at least don’t want to look the part – I just want someone to notice me, and actually be by my side as I trudge through life. I’ve read in Superfiskal – a beauty magazine – that looking the part of a confident girl will actually give me some level of confidence. And to spend a lot of money. That part was important. So, I walk into the store, ready to change my life for the better.

I make my way into the store, walk up towards the sales associate – who almost looks like a hotel receptionist – and confidently point to that Ivory bag. “Yes, of course – that beautiful Ivory bag will cost you just three thousand dollars,” said the sales associate. “Oh my god!” I shout, my voice echoing across the room, flabbergasted at the price. For some crazy reason, I thought the bag would be at least one-thousand dollars. “That’s a lot of money, at least for a consignor store,” I point out this fact to the sales associate, hoping to garner some sympathy, or open the discussion for a discount. “Well, the bag did retail for three-thousand, five hundred dollars. And this bag in particular, despite being pre-loved, is still in near mint condition.” “But- but isn’t this place meant to help out shoppers with purchasing goods at a lower price? To promote sustainability, or something?” “Yes, our mission at Treasure Dump is to provide shoppers with feasible ways to enjoy fashion sustainably, while also not breaking their bank.” She says, with a laugh at the end. Asshole sales associate – that bag will break the bank alone with how heavy she is. “However, we also are aware of the fact that designer bags are made with the finest materials. If you’d like some other alternatives, we have some other value bags on sale. As well, there are some value stores besides us, willing to provide wonderful fashion goods for a lower price!” The sales associate says, with a tone that says how clearly rehearsed this is.

Fuck. Well, I thank the kind lady for her help, and we separate from each other. The sales associate goes to the cash register, and I go to stumble and loiter around the store. How the hell am I gonna get that bag? I work a shitty job every single day, with a bi-weekly wage of $400, which I’m pretty sure is illegal. I slowly look up on the upper corners of the store. I notice that there are small black dots that completely go against the decor of the store, and the colours of the wall. I loiter around the store, pretending to be interested in the other bags, and I try to see other security systems in place. As a keyholder at my sushi shop, I know that there are other security systems in place, so I should be careful. I’ve decided: I’m going to steal this damned bag.

I walk up to the sales associate; “Is there a washroom I may use in here?” As I ask, the sales associate points in the direction of the washroom, and I make my way there. She doesn’t follow me there though. I walk past the washroom, hoping to find the office where the camera system would be. After about five minutes, I find the office, and peek through the gap between the door and the wall to see if anyone was in there; there isn’t, so I walk in as quietly as possible, opening the door just enough for me to barely fit in. For some reason, my workplace trusted me to use the security system there, and the security system here was pretty familiar to it, for the most part. I shut down the cameras – the front ones at least, should stay turned off for about five to ten minutes.

Sneaking out of the office, and walking back to the front, I realize that I don’t actually know how I’ll knock out the sales clerk up front. As I pass by the washroom, I realize that I have a bunch of school notes that I accidentally left in my bag from last year. I really wanted to keep some of them, as they were from some English class, and I still would have liked the lessons from there with me, but their sacrifice will be worth it, for this bag. I also grab my lunch containers and utensils, and anything and everything else in my bag, and hurriedly shoved them in the toilet. If I could have shoved my bag in there, I would have. I also grab as much toilet paper as possible from the washroom, and shove it into the toilet too. I wanna make sure this thing is clogged enough.

Then, after my destruction of public property has been completed, I grab a random belt dangling from its display, and quietly put it in my duffle bag, making sure no one has seen me. I take a deep breath, before walking up to the sales associate still at the cash, pretending to be nervous. “U-uhm, excuse me? Ma’am? I-I’m having some trouble with the facility.” “What could be the problem?” The sales associate, who seemed nonchalant about selling me a three-thousand dollar item, looked genuinely concerned for my well-being. “Well, I, uhm... may have clogged the toilet by accident. I-I don’t want to go in detail, but my business in there wasn’t too pleasant, to say the least.” I say, trying to not go into too much detail of my “fecal matter.” “Oh- oh dear. I hope you get better soon. As for the washroom, don’t worry about it. I’ll just call the plumber later and have it sorted out.” She says with a smile, and proceeds to write a note. I nod, and continue “loitering” around the store. Afterwards, she proceeds to bring the note with her, presumably to let customers know about the accident. I slowly make my way to the washroom with her, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible. When she reaches the door, I immediately pounce on her; I push the door open and shove her in the washroom. Then I wrap the doorknob with the belt, making sure it’s a tight enough knot to not open quickly. “OH MY GOD – SOMEONE HELP!” Sorry, lady. That Ivory bag is mine. I immediately sprint away and towards the bag. Fucking hell. There’s a security tag. I grab the bag and run towards the cash, trying to look for the mechanism to remove it. As I scamper around the table, I notice a strange magnetic puck installed onto the table; I put the tag on it, and it sticks. I immediately remove the tag, and run out the store with my new three-thousand dollar bag. As I run from the store, I watch to see how quiet the reaction is from the store. My plan worked.

As I slow down into a calm walking pace, I look at the bag in all it’s glory. How pink it is. How luxurious it is. How proud I am, of having taken this bag for myself. I feel the material on the bag – it is quite glossy. Looking at it, it seems to also be made of a patent leather – it feels more soothing and calming. I am so ecsatic to have this bag now! Especially with not repercussions! I instantly regret these feelings, as I trip into a deep mud puddle. I fall face first into the puddle; I don’t feel any particular scrapes or cuts, but I do feel some aching all over. More importantly, the fucking bag! I immediately step up, and examine the bag closer. The glossy, light pink patent leather bag has drowsed in the mud. I begin to walk out of the mud, and towards home, I begin thinking: M-maybe the bag can be salvaged – maybe the mud will roll off the gloss surface of the bag. Less than a meter away from the mud, a kid on a bike crashes into me, causing us both to fall into the mud. The bag, that was in my hands for examination, fell into the streets. “Shit. Sorry, mi-” “MOVE BOY! MY BAG!” Then, not soon after I’m able to get up and hegin running towards the muddy bag resting on the floor, a car soon flares past us, hitting the bag entirely. I longed for this bag. I managed to get it. But, shit. No bag now.

“Fuck, Matty,” you breathed out between moans as your fingers threaded deeper into the mess of curls between your thighs. 

“Oh, like that?”

His hot breath fanned out across your hot, sensitive core and you groaned at the sensation. Matthew leaned in closer to you, his broad shoulders pushing your legs further apart. He still stopped short of putting his mouth on you. 

“Matthew, please,” you whined, your body stiffening as you tried to grind your hips down to get more contact. 

“Patience,” he kissed the inside of your thigh, a few inches from exactly where you wanted his mouth, “is a virtue, honey.” 

“I fucking hate you,” you complained, but it came out empty. 

“Mm, that’s hot,” was all he said before his tongue finally touched your clit and you couldn’t help but let out an embarrassingly loud moan.

Your body decided that moment you finally felt the tension start to unfold was the perfect moment to wake you up from a dream you haven’t asked for, but decided to enjoy anyway.

“Oh, fuck me,” you groaned as you pulled the covers up over your face. “He’s everywhere.”

You stumbled slowly out of bed to the bathroom. Your inability to be patient meant you washed your face with water that was verging on ice cold, which luckily today came in handy and helped you cool you off from your dream. Matthew had found his way into a lot of your thoughts when you were by yourself. He was becoming absolutely unavoidable.

“Good morning!” your long-time roommate and self-identified best friend Kayla sang as you entered the kitchen.

You have her your customary grunt in reply. One of the biggest issues in your friendship with Kayla was that she was a literal ray of sunshine presenting as a human being. She was a blindingly bright, cheery, peppy morning person who wore her heart on her sleeve and believed that everything would be better with a sprinkle of sugar and a little more love. You couldn’t understand how a person older than eight could possibly have the personality Kayla did, but she’d made it this far into life like this, so this was how she was.

“I made you a smoothie bowl. It’s in the fridge next to your coffee that’s chilling so it can be iced coffee,” Kayla informed you, sounding more like she was meant to sing to birds so they would assist her in baking a cake than that she made you, a woman arguably resembling a river troll right now more than a person, a smoothie bowl and coffee.

You grabbed the bowl eagerly, needed something to try to get your mind from replying the self-created imagine of Matty’s shoulders and curly head between your thighs. You sighed as you took your seat at the breakfast bar next to Kayla. You dug in instantly. It was one of Kayla’s better ones.

“Is good, K,” you mumbled around the berries in your mouth.

“Thank ya,” she replied with a bright smile.

“K,” you wiped the corners of your mouth before you turned to her, “can I tell you something if you promise not to tell anyone else?”

“Of course!”

Kayla was lying and you knew it. Loose lips might sink ships, but your friendship was too strong to sink despite Kayla’s knack for spilling all the beans she knew as soon as she was pushed in the slightest of ways. But, you needed to get this off your chest.

“I had a sex dream about Matthew Tkachuk,” you said bluntly.

Kayla’s spoon paused on its journey to her mouth before it dropped back into the bowl aggressively. Little purple droplets of smoothie sprayed across counter due to her sudden movement. Her mouth dropped open as she processed what you said.

“It was like, almost a sex dream, I guess,” you sighed. “He was about to eat me out and his shoulders, god the shoulders and the curls, and it was just, it was so hot and I have no idea what this means.”

“If I start singing that nursery rhyme about you two sitting in a tree kissing are you going to throw your coffee at me?” Kayla was already wincing back in her seat with her hands protectively in front of her face before she finished her sentence. “This cream sweatshirt doesn’t deserve it even if I do for saying that.” 

You rolled your eyes at her and turned your attention back to your quickly thinning breakfast. 

“Do you maybe like him, like him?” she asked hesitantly. 

“He’s super annoying, Kayla,” you reminded her, “and I doubt he’s even into me in the slightly.” 

“He’s totally into you and I know you’re into him. Annoying and a big ego is your type. He’s annoying to you because he’s constantly pulling your metaphorical pig tails.” 

You rolled your eyes again, wondering if maybe they were going to get stuck up there that your mom had always threatened when you were little, before replying with, “This isn’t elementary school, K. Even if I did have a little crush, he’s not that type of guy and I’m not his type. ”

She shrugged and put her hands up, telling you that her opinion was her opinion and you could like take it or leave it. 

“I just told you what I think, that’s all,” she said. “I also think we need to dress you up extra hot for the bar tonight and you better shave, just in case, you know.”

-------

As the first shot of tequila burned down your throat later that night, you were starting to regret telling Kayla. She’d already had three drinks and around four was when the secrets started spilling out and Matthew was bound to show up any minute. The team had lost tonight, but they were still coming out to celebrate someone’s birthday. 

“That shirt makes your boobs look amazing!” The last word was sung, entirely unsurprising with your best friend. “Thank god you let me do your makeup tonight too. He’s not going to be able to take his eyes off you.” 

“K,” you sighed as you sat the empty shot glass down on the bar, “he’s not exactly a buy-you-roses, take-you-home-to-his-momma, remember-your-anniversary, kind of guy. Pretty sure, if I wanted to, this would be a one and done sort of thing.” 

Kayla shook her head after taking another shot that you couldn’t identify the origin of since you didn’t have another. Oh great, four deep. 

“I’m telling you, babe. He’s into you. Like, he’s actually into you,” Kayla told you.

“Who’s into you?” 

As if on cue, with an actual tug of your ponytail, Matthew was by your side with his classic, every present cocky smile and mop of curly hair, grabbing your attention even though you didn’t want to give it to him. 

“No one,” you told him. “You’re just in time to pay for my next drink though.” 

“You’re the worst person I know,” Matthew told you with a sigh. “You just talk to me for my money, don’t you?” 

“Well, it certainly couldn’t be because of your personality,” you chirped back.

His credit card still hit the bar a few seconds later though, a wide smile on his face. He slid tight up next you, one of his hands gently resting on your back as he threw some cash on the bar along with his card to catch a bartender’s attention. His hand pressed against your back was warm and strong and you wanted to lean into it, into him. You resisted, your body stiffening as you resisted the urge to collapse into him. 

“Oh, sorry,” Matthew mumbled as he took his hand away.

“Oh, you’re good! You can keep it there if you want.” 

You’d said it a little too quickly and with a little too much pep for you, but luckily the volume of the bar covered it. Matthew just nodded and let his hand gently rest on your back again, his fingers drumming against you, as he ordered his and apparently your next drink. 

“Don’t I get to order myself?” you asked him as you tilted your head back to allow for eye contact. 

“When you’re paying,” Matthew chuckled before giving your ponytail another quick tug. “So, how’s work? Pretty sure you know how mine went today, so distract me with yours, please.” 

You just started to make small talk about your work and his when your drinks arrived. Matthew was already being pulled away from you the second his beer touched his hand. 

“Find me in a few!” he shouted over the noise as he was led off to the dance floor. 

You definitely didn’t like you if he left that quickly, but you tried to focus on your drink instead of him. You couldn’t figure out what he’d ordered you by the taste. It was strong, but still tasted good, which was about all that actually mattered. You shrugged it off and headed over to mingle among the team and your other friends, mystery drink in hand and thoughts of Matthew in your head. 

By the time your ass was back on your barstool, you weren’t sure how much time had passed, but you’d had three of Matthew’s mystery drinks and you were feeling them. Still, even at your worst, you weren’t Kayla who had already been yelled three separate times by security for climbing on a chair, a table, and the bar. She could not hold her alcohol even if you paid her a million dollars to do it. 

“Jesus, I’m amazed they haven’t kicked her out yet. I see we’re being boring over here though instead of fun like Kayla.”

Matthew. Of course he’d find you the second you decided to take a little breather. You rolled your eyes at him and he laughed lightly. You knew he was teasing. He was always teasing you, always chirping you. You took the last sip of your drink and began the internal debate on if you could handle one more or not.

“Look, Chucky Cheese, not all girl are table dancing types,” you sighed, settling on the idea that one more would probably more likely than not be one too many. 

Matthew slid his stool closer to you as he waved the nearest bartender down to close out his tab, apparently deciding he was also done for the night along with you.  The scent of his cologne was engulfing you in a way that made the rest of the world around you slowly start to disappear. 

“I’m not into table dancing types,” he informed you as he intercepted your tab before you could glance at how much he was shelling out for you tonight. “More into the roommates of the table dancing types. Especially,” he slid the clipboard with the bill to the opposite edge of the bar as his eyes turned back to lock with yours, “when I have it on good authority that table dancing girl’s roommate is into me.” 

If you’d still been drinking, you would’ve choked on it with that statement. 

“What?” was all you managed to get out in response.

Matthew chuckled a little and nodded softly, as if he’d been expecting that very response. He pivoted on his stool to face you. Slowly and steadily, Matthew leaned in closer to you. Even sitting, he towered over you and it made your breath hitch in your throat. Him leaning into you like this enveloped you in the feeling of him and the smell of his cologne. His lips came to rest just next to the shell of your ear, accidentally grazing it for a moment. If you weren’t already sitting, your knees would’ve buckled. 

“Kayla is a little too drunk to keep your dreams a secret. She said something about how my shoulders would look between your thighs? Could’ve heard that wrong though.” Matthew said softly to you. “It’s okay. I’m happy to make your dreams come true tonight.” 

He paused for a second and you weren’t sure if you had breathed the entire time he’d spoke. He took a deep breath before continuing. 

“That is, if you’re interested.” 

Loose lips sink ships, but maybe, just maybe, Kayla’s loose lips were about to make something float for the first time in her life. 

“Don’t worry so much,” he whispered against your ear as he sensed your nerves, his lips ghosting across your sensitive skin as he spoke, “I want you so fucking bad right now.”

He pulled back, settling onto his stool again with practiced ease, and your heart started racing in your chest. You could barely hear the crowd over your heart beating in your ears. You had to think of something to say and you didn’t have a lot of time to do. Your brain was racing, not landing on any thought in particular long enough for it to take hold. Matthew knew he had you exactly where he wanted and his confidence was turning you on in a way that you hated that you loved. He leaned in closer to you, his smirk still strong as he came closer to you, his mouth inches from yours. You wanted to throw him off guard, wipe that cocky smirk right off his face, so you said the first thing that came to mind. 

“You’ve got to buy me dinner first, Tkachuk.”

You didn’t know what part of your brain found those words. You didn’t know why they’d come out of your mouth. You didn’t even know how truly interested you were. The last one was a lie to yourself, but those words were a 50/50 gamble. Maybe he wanted to fuck you and take you to dinner. Maybe he just wanted one night to get over a tough division loss tonight. You had no evidence other than Kayla’s pigtail pulling theory to support the idea that maybe he might not just be looking for a one night stand and Kayla was so often wrong.

“Hmm, any chance I can cash in on dessert tonight and take you to dinner tomorrow?” The smirk was replaced with a soft smile, a smile that made you want to fall right into his broad chest and never leave. “Because I’m not exactly super patient here and I know you’re going to look absolutely killer in a tight dress at the stupidly expensive restaurant I’m going to take you to tomorrow night, but you’d also look so fucking good in my bed right now.”

"Is that so?” you asked him, stealing his smirk from earlier. “How nice is this restaurant?”

“Not as nice as I’m going to make you feel in a few minutes if you let me.” 

You pressed your mouth against his as your way of answering. Matthew’s hands were on your waist, pulling you off your stool and into him as he took over, his mouth working aggressively against yours. Your hands clasped together behind his neck, securing you against him. Matthew was the one to pull back, surprising you. He released one hand from your waist to pull his phone out of his pocket and open up Uber on his phone. 

“Unless that didn’t mean what I think it meant, I’m taking you home, woman,” Matthew said as he ordered the car.

“What ever do you think it could mean?” you countered in the lightest, brightest sarcastic voice you could find. 

“Don’t tease me like that,” Matthew smirked, his face inches from yours now that his phone was secured in his pocket again. His forehead dipped down to press against yours. “You want this, right?”

“I’m just in this for the idea that the stupidly expensive restaurant has lobster,” you teased him again.

He shook his head softly and let out a soft breath before kissing you again in a way that told you that you were about to be in for a hell of a night. The Uber to his place was a blur for you due to alcohol and anxiety. You wanted Matthew. You knew for certain he wanted you too. That didn’t mean doubt and insecurities weren’t trying to worm your way in and ruin this for you. Matthew’s arm around your shoulders pulled you back to the present. He was pressing you tight against him in the elevator ride up to his apartment. 

“Stop with the mind racing thing you do. I can see the hamsters running up there,” Matthew laughed, his head falling back against the elevator to rest as he looked at you. “You’re not going to have to dream about this anymore. You get the real thing and I’m buying you dinner. You’ve come out on top here, even though you’re not actually going to be on top tonight.”

“Keep chirping me and see if I won’t turn around right now,” you replied as the elevator doors opened. 

“Your prerogative,” Matthew shrugged and he pulled his keys out with his free hand, “but I think taking your right hand over me is a poor choice for you.”

“Aw, you think I don’t own a vibrator.” Matthew’s hand stumbled as he tried to put the key into the lock, probably something to do with what you’d just said.  “Cute of you.” 

“Own anything else I might want to know about?” he asked you curiously as he pushed open his door after successfully wrangling his key. 

“All in due time, Tkachuk,” you said with a pat of his broad chest as you breezed past him into his apartment. 

Matthew breathed out a long sigh. It turned slowly into a chuckle towards the end as he shut the door, his mind jumping forward to when you’d hopefully let him see whatever you were alluding to that was in the back of your top drawer. You didn’t make it far into Matthew’s apartment before his large hands grabbed your hips and spun you to face him, his mouth crushing against yours moments later. Your hands grabbed the bottom of his t-shirt and started to pull it up. 

“Whoa, whoa, easy there, tiger,” Matthew laughed against your mouth while letting his hands take over and pull his shirt up. “We just got here.” 

“If you’re in a slow and steady mood, I’d rather go home to my vibrator.” 

Matthew pulled back from your mouth, still laughing as he tossed his shirt to the floor. He didn’t answer you, instead choosing to attach his mouth to your neck, nipping at the thin skin there as your hands found purchase on his bare chest. His teeth grazed across the skin over your collarbone as he worked his way down and your nails slid down his chest, leaving red lines down his pale skin. 

“Jesus, fuck,” Matthew groaned out as your actions, his voice only deepening due to the sensation. 

His hands on your hips gripped hard, the tips of his fingers pressing into the exposed skin where your shirt had rode up. Matthew slowly guided you backwards until you felt the back of your knees hit the edge of a couch cushion. Matthew left a searing kiss on your lips before he gave you a shove so you fell back on the couch. 

“Clothes, off,” Matthew told you as he unbuckled his belt. 

“You think-”

“I am in charge. Don’t even,” he laughed softly as he yanked his belt from the belt loops in his jeans and dropped it to the floor. “You’re still very dressed by the way.”

You huffed and stuck your tongue out at him, only making him laugh harder, but you listened to him nonetheless, tossing your clothes to the floor along with his. Matthew stopped with just his boxers left, and you followed his lead. His light eyes were darker as he took in the sight of you in just your bra and panties. Kayla had insisted you wear the one matching set you owned tonight and you made a mental note to thank her tomorrow. Matthew’s tongue darted out to lick across his bottom lip. 

“Man, that’s a good look for you.” Matthew paused as he climbed over you, holding up his large frame over yours on the couch on his hands pressed into the cushions next to your head. He lowered his mouth to the swell of your breast, biting gently into the soft skin there. He mumbled against your skin, “Don’t wear clothes anymore.”

“I think I need to, to go to work,” you muttered, your mind far more occupied with what Matthew’s mouth was doing at the moment than speaking. 

His hands were coasting up and down your skin, over your thighs, across your stomach. He was touching every part of you and your body was coming alive under his touch. You opened your mouth to add something, but Matthew had used that same moment as his opportunity to pull one of the lace cups of your bra aside and quickly take your now exposed nipple into his mouth. Your open mouth turned into a loud moan as his tongue rolled across the sensitive nub smoothly. You were already almost seeing stars when he gingerly took it between his teeth for a moment. 

The bra which had previously been something he appreciated, was now in his way, so it ended up on the floor with the rest of your clothes. Matthew groaned at the site of you without it. He’d decided that naked was your best look, before he’d even gotten you completely naked. You could feel his eyes drinking you in and you would have felt self conscious if not for the fact that Matthew shifted over you, pressing his hardness against your thigh in a desperate attempt for friction. 

“Why didn’t we,” Matthew took your other nipple into his mouth mid sentence, letting one of his hands finally stop moving across your skin, to pinch your other nipple between his fingers. He repeated his actions from the other side, tongue rolling your nipple softly before taking it between his teeth. His fingers pinched the other roughly as he did this, making your whine underneath him. He finally finished after releasing your nipple with a soft pop, “do this sooner?” 

“I don’t know, but I really need you to touch me,” you whined, your hands flying to his shoulders to push him down.

He didn’t budge. After all, he was a professional athlete with the strength and weight to match the job title. He relented though without much effort on your part, after throwing you a teasing grin, and pulled your panties down your legs with two fingers hooked into each side. He sank onto the couch between your thighs. You gasped as you could feel his hot breath on your wet slit. Matthew looked at you, taking in everything that was in front of him. 

“You,” he pressed a kiss to the left side of your inner thigh, “are,” he kissed the opposite side, “so,” he kissed higher up on the left side, closer to where you wanted him, “fucking,” he kissed the opposite side at the same distance from your slit. His mouth moved closer, hovering an inch above your core and he added, “Sexy,” before pressing his tongue between your folds and licking in one firm line up to your clit. 

Your eyes rolled back in your head at the contact and your hips bucked up toward his mouth to try and get more contact. One of Matthew’s hands came down low on your stomach and pushed you flat back onto the couch. 

“Easy, easy,” he soft softly, giving your clit a gentle, chaste kiss. “I’ve got you.” 

You let out a deep breath as you tried to get your body back under your control. Your control held until Matthew’s tongue started to circle your clit for the first time. He was pulling moans from your throat that you didn’t know you made as he worked your clit slowly and steadily. Matthew was brash and bold and fast on the ice, but he was steady here, taking his time. You were his guide as he let the noises he was causing you to make guide him. 

You took notice when he flatted his tongue against your clit and looked up at you, his blue eyes locking with yours for a moment. He slowly and purposefully applied more pressure on your clit before shaking his head back and forth, dragging his tongue across your clit firmly. Your eyes slammed shut and your hands flexed into his curls at the sensation. 

“Matthew, fuck,” you managed to break out, your voice cracking between the words. “Holy fuck.” 

“Easy, baby. Easy,” Matthew reminded you softly before returning to you. 

He ran his tongue down your slit again, dipping it ever so slightly into you, making you squirm and whine, before returning his attention to your clit. He started moving his tongue faster, sliding left to right against the sensitive bundle of nerves as he could hear the noises you were matching shift and build. You were becoming more restless under him as your orgasm starting building, desperate to feel that release. Matthew was impatient to get you into his bed, or onto his couch, earlier but he was so very patient now, milking you slowly and gently, making sure to savor every taste of you he was getting, making sure you were enjoying yourself. 

“Matthew, more, please,” you begging softly, tugged his curls to try to push him more into your core. 

He listened, suddenly taking his clit into your mouth and sucking softly on it. You were seeing stars by the time he released it, his tongue moving in quick circles over it. You were so distracted that you didn’t noticed his hand move from your stomach until you felt two of his fingers slide into you. The new feeling pulled you over the edge almost instantly. Matthew’s fingers pumped in and out of you as his tongue continued his movement on your clit to bring you through your orgasm.

“Oh, my, god,” you breathed out, your chest heaving, as Matthew slowly pulled back from you. 

“I don’t think god had anything to do with that actually,” he joked in reply, throwing you a wink that made you remember exactly the kind of guy he really was.

You were about to throw that back in his face, until he slid the two fingers that had been in you into his mouth, sucking them clean in front of you. Your mouth was slack as you watched him, drinking in the sight in front of you. 

“Dessert was fucking delicious by the way,” he told you after releasing his now clean fingers. 

He pushed up off the couch and disappeared down the hallway. You heard a drawer open in what you assumed was his bedroom and shut quickly after. You were still catching your breath by the time he was back, foil packet in hand. 

“Yes?” he asked, lifting the condom up slightly to you as his way of checking with you. 

“Please,” you simply replied. 

Your dream hadn’t even gone as what he’d just finished, but you can’t say you hadn’t imagined this before. You desperately wanted to know what it felt like to have him inside you. Matthew nodded in response before dropping his boxers to the floor, quickly ripping open the foil packet and rolling the condom down his hard shaft. He sighed happily as he looked you over, stroking himself a few times. 

“Hands and knees,” he told you as he crossed the room to you. 

You obliged, flipping over onto your knees, bracing your arms on the back of the couch for more leverage. You felt Matthew sink onto the couch behind you before one of his large hands gripped your ass roughly, squeezing it. He gave the now reddened skin a soft tap before his hand slid to your hip to steady himself as he lined up with you. You both moaned as he slowly slid into it, your wetness allowing for him to enter you in one smooth motion until his hips were pressed against your ass. 

“Jesus, shit,” Matthew mumbled before taking a deep breath. “You feel so fucking good. Christ, woman.” 

“You going to lose it or are you actually going to be able to-”

You didn’t get to finish that sentence as Matthew pulled almost all of the way out before roughly slamming his hips forward until they met your ass again. You gasped at the sudden and now unrelenting movement as Matthew moved at a rough, fast pace, thrusting in and out of you quickly. You gripped the back of the couch and began to push off from the couch slightly, meeting his thrusts with small movements of your own, making him curse between his teeth at how deep he was inside of you each time.  

One of Matthew’s hands was digging into the skin of your hip, steadying him to you and his other was on your shoulder, fingers slowly sliding over from the back of your shoulder to the front, inching ever so slightly toward your neck. You knew what he wanted, but wouldn’t ask for this time around, but you could offer it. You steadied yourself with one forearm on the back of the couch before sliding your free hand up to grab his. His rhythm flattered a little until he realized what you were doing, and then he almost fell apart far too early. You gently guided his fingers until they were wrapped around your throat. 

“Tell me if it’s too much,” he spat out between thrusts.

You nodded and he slowly and steadily applied pressure to your throat, the side of his hand from his index finger to his thumb pressing in just the right spot to restrict your breathing, but not cut it off dangerously. You started moaning louder with the added sensation and Matthew’s thrusts were becoming sloppy. You knew he wanted to last longer, but he got caught off guard by your assertiveness in the best way possible and wasn’t going to be able to hold out much longer.

“Fuck, fuck,” Matthew mumbled before his breathing hitched in his throat. 

He groaned, his hand squeezing down hard on your throat, as his thrusts started to slow as he came down from his high. He collapsed down onto your back when he was finished, releasing your throat so he could wrap his arms around your stomach and give you a quick squeeze. Matthew pressed a soft kiss to your shoulder before slowly pulling out of you. You sighed as you flipped over so you were sitting up on the couch, giving your knees a break. 

Matthew climbed off the couch and headed back down the hallway, returning a few moments later with a damp washcloth for you. You were surprised by the gestured, but grateful for it nonetheless. 

“I meant it,” Matthew told you as he dropped down on the couch next to you, a water bottle in hand.

You gave him a curious look, trying to figure out what he was referring to in that moment. He took a swig from the bottle before answering.

“Taking you out tomorrow,” he continued when he saw your confusion. He passed you the bottle, before continuing, “I meant it.”

"I didn’t think you weren’t,” you replied with a shrug before popping open the bottle to take a few swigs, grateful for the cool water since you’d both managed to work up a sweat during that.

“Good,” he nodded, curls bouncing with his movement. 

The moment was sweet, too sweet for how the rest of the evening had gone. The teasing tone that covered not only the evening, but your friendship with Matthew needed to return. Matthew was also too sure of himself to miss the opportunity at his feet. 

“So, did I live up the dream?” he asked you, a cocky grin on his face that matched his tone. “Actually, I know I was better. But how much better was I?”

Pairing: The Winter Soldier x Reader

Summary: he pays her a visit

Warning/s:  not proofread, cursing, violence, brainwashing (buckeroo), please be warned

Word Count: 2149

A/N: I lied 😭 there’s no smut in this one but it’s dark...ish?

Chapter One

“The asset has not completed his mission yet. It’s been almost a month. You think the Captain is still trying to get ahold of him? Shall we put the asset back on the chair?” 

“Remind me what his mission is again?”

“The Y/L/N girl”

“Ah… Yes. Y/N. Pretty girl. Too bad… I don’t think the Captain has anything to do with this. I think the asset has gone... soft.”

“What shall we do then?”

“Put him on the chair. If he still fails to finish the mission, take care of the girl yourself.” 

—-

Agonizing screams filled the room as the man in the green uniform recited a bunch of words to the asset. The asset screamed in agony as the brainwashing continued. 

After a long and painful hours later, the asset stared into nothing with an indistinguishable expression. His mind blanked after another session on the infamous horrifying chair. It happens every time he fails to complete a mission. It happens every time he gets a glimpse of the past. Of who he used to be. At the end of the day, he always forgets who he was. Who he is. Who Steve is. But something happened. One thing stayed put this time around...

“Kill the girl, asset. If you fail to complete the mission, we’ll have someone else do the work for you and then you’ll face your punishment.” 

The asset’s face remained unbothered but he did offer a faint nod.

“You have forty-eight hours.”

“Are those comfortable?” Richard gives Y/N a playful smirk as he points at her visible toes that wiggles under his scrutinizing eyes. 

“They’re flip-flops, Richard.” Y/N gives him a bored look but then it twists into a smirk as she adds, “Of course they’re fucking comfortable!” Both shared a laugh with each other and then calmed down after a minute or so. “Don’t your feet get cold?” Richard asks as he fiddles with a cash register while Y/N’s leaning her elbows on the counter. When Y/N gives him a shrug, he lets out a sigh and continues. “You know, you can always answer your mother’s call. Or your father’s.” And as if on cue, Y/N’s phone starts to ring and her mother’s name plasters on her phone screen.

Y/N groans as she rejects the call. “I’m not having this conversation with you, Richard.” Richard hangs his head as he sports a sad look. “I know I’m just a mere worker but I’m just looking out for you, kid.” 

Y/N stands upright from leaning down the counter and gives Richard a concerned look. “Richard, I-I didn’t mean it like that!” She stumbles with her words as she places a hand on his shoulder. Richard gives him a small smile and nods a little. “I know… You’ve changed a lot, kid. It’s a good change.” Richard’s face then contorts into a surprised look as he raises an index finger. “I almost forgot!” He fiddles with the cash register once again and takes out an envelope, giving it to Y/N. “This is for you.”

Y/N squints her eyes as she takes the envelope. She shakes her head when she sees at least 3 big fat wads of cash inside and looks up at Richard who’s sporting a cheeky smile. “My parents put you up to this?” She frowns at him as he shrugs. He raises both his hands in mock surrender as he walks away from her. “I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.” Richard then proceeds to go to the back door, leaving a fuming Y/N behind.

As Y/N finishes up cleaning a table, Richard walks up to her with four more envelopes in his hands. “Go home, Y/N. Your shift was done five minutes ago. Also, these are for you. Okay. Bye-bye! Use ‘em wisely!” He shoves the envelopes in her hands and proceeds to push her out the door. Y/N huffs as he closes the door behind her and waves at her with a perky smile.

“What the fuck, Richard?” Y/N exclaims as she looks down at the envelopes that consists of at least a thousand dollars. No doubt from her parents.

Y/N walks the regular path to her home sweet trashy home when she finally notices the car that’s been following her since she left McDonald’s. 

She scoffs and stops walking just in front of a trash bin. She takes all the envelope from her bag and then dumps them into the bin. She turns to look back at the car, who now has a guy peering out of the car’s window with a camera pointed towards her direction.

She gives the guy a snarky smile as she raises both her hands up in the air and flips both her middle finger up. She’s a hundred percent sure that this was another guy that her parents hired to look after her in a very creepy stalker kind of way.

“Tell my parents to fuck off!” She laughs as the guy drives away from her with an incredulous expression etched on his face.

—-

 Walking into her apartment, Y/N sighed in exhaustion as she throws her bag on the side of the door. She flicks the lights on and freezes when she sees a dark figure hidden in the shadows just across the room.

The figure walks towards her ever so slowly, making them seem more intimidating. When the light managed to hit the figure (who turns out to be a guy), a glimmer was caught just by his arm. Just to be exact, his whole arm glimmered under the light. A shocked gasp escapes Y/N’s lips as she unconsciously walks backward, pressing her back against the closed door.

“Hey… Listen… I didn’t know that my payment w-went through so I-I just thought that it’s fake- I just thought that you’re not gonna show up anymore, you know?” Y/N tries to do what she does best, open her mouth. She tries to negotiate (as politely as she could) with the assassin she hired from the deep web months ago but he only tilts his head to the side, giving her the idea that he couldn’t understand her.

She continues to talk her way out of the situation. To let him understand whatever she’s trying to say by using big hand gestures. “You don’t h-have to kill- to assassinate me anymore. You can keep the money! It’s all just a misunderstanding, really!” 

She gulps when the assassin continues to walk towards her. “I-I could a-add more! L-Listen I h-have a few d-dollars just d-down the street. B-believe it o-or not, I k-keep my cash in a trash bin! There’s a-at least f-five hundred grand there. It’s all yours!” 

Fuck! He’s not stopping. Why is he not stopping?!

Y/N panics when she sees the hopelessness in her position. Having no other choice, she does the most pathetic thing there is on the books.

“What the fuck is that?!” 

Y/N looks towards the space behind the assassin, widening her eyes as she points her index finger at it. The assassin surprisingly falls for the trick and turns around to look at what caught the girl’s attention.

Using it as her chance, she fumbles with the doorknob as quickly as she can but before she could even get out, her body gets slammed against the door, forcing it to shut with a boom.

“No”

Y/N’s feels her heart thump loudly as the assassin speaks for the first time while he pushes his body up against hers towards the door.

“Fuck! Dude! I fucking swear! I can pay you! Please! I changed my mind! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!” Y/N blabbers loudly, desperately trying to break free from his iron grip.

The assassin covers her mouth using his flesh hand and shushes her harshly. He drags her body away from the door, backing them both up until they reached the cluttered bedroom. All the while Y/N writhed against him.

He grunts as he throws her on the mattress, looking at her with a hard glare. His glowering eyes dared her to make a move. She stays in place as she tries to even out her breathing, tears forming in her eyes. She watches him as he walks around the room, opening drawers, looking underneath tables and chairs as if he’s looking for something. He cautiously hides his face behind the curtains as he looks out the window.

“W-what are you looking f-for?” She manages to ask.

He only lets out a grunt as he turns to look at her with a ferocious look. He stalks towards her on the bed as she lets out a strangled cry, wrapping her arms around her head in an attempt to shield herself from him.

He hastily pries her arms open, pinning them to her sides. He nudges her nose with his as she keeps looking down. She stares at him with glossy and teary eyes, trying to swallow her own sobs. “Please…”

“Quiet” was his second word for the day. He gets off of her and walks towards the end of the bed. She gasps as he pulls on her ankles until her back is flat against the mattress. 

He messes with her top until it’s completely off, leaving her in just her bra. She looks up at him, whispering desperate pleas, pleading him to stop whatever it is that he’s planning on doing.

He huffs, vexed and places his flesh hand on her neck, enough to leave a big bruise but not enough to cut off her airway. 

Frightened, she trashes under him while she helplessly kicks everywhere. She manages to knee him on his crotch which caused both of them to pause. She looks at him with fearful eyes as he looks at her furiously.

He shakes his head as he adds pressure on his hand that’s placed on her neck, grimacing as marks started appearing on her skin. She looks down and notices the forming of bruises. Taking a deep breath, she gives up on fighting and just lets the assassin do what he’s doing. 

Looking at her with a softer look, he gives her a small smile (or at least tries to). “Sorry” he mumbles under his breath.

Y/N furrows her eyebrows in terror and confusion as she watches him remove his hand on her and watches it as it goes up into the air and straight down her face.

Before she even knew it, she’s knocked out cold.

——

The asset looks down at the girl, his eyes holding a glint of sadness, guilt, and worry. He takes the device given to him by HYDRA and takes a picture of the upper part of her body, making sure to show her injuries. He’s got to make it look convincing...

The photo shows the ugly bruise forming on her neck and the blood sipping out of her cut bottom lip. Her head is jerked into an awkward position. Her face is covered with dry tears. Overall, she looks dead. As if she was strangled or choked to death.

The asset lets out a breath as he hits send on the device. Not a minute later, a vibration from the device was felt and a reply from his leader appears on the screen.

‘Great job, asset.’

——

The asset gets seated on the chair every time he gets a glimpse of the past. Of who he used to be. At the end of the day, he always forgets who he was. Who who is. Who Steve is. But something happened. One thing stayed put this time around. One face persisted.

Her face…

Y/N.

He was told to kill the girl. He was supposed to kill her but why couldn’t he do it? He’s killed a lot of people before. How is she different from any of them? 

He couldn’t even hurt her with his metal arms. He couldn’t lay a finger on her with that godforsaken arm. He only did what he did to make HYDRA believe that he’s done his job. And it worked.

He made sure that her awful home is safe. He made sure that there are no hidden cameras implanted by HYDRA. He made sure that no other HYDRA agents are lurking around her home, her neighborhood. It’s as if his body is telling him not to hurt her. It’s as if his mind is telling him to protect the girl. 

The thought of her made his mind and his body comply with each other for once. 

Could this be a chance for his redemption? Could she give him the chance of redemption? Could she save him or will it be her who needs saving from him?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris Miles (00:00): Well, hello, my fellow Ripplers! This is Chris Miles. Your Cash Flow Expert and Anti-Financial Advisor. We want to welcome you out guys for a wonderful show. A show that's for you and about you. Those of you that work so freaking hard for your money, and you're now ready for your money to start working harder for you. Today! You want that freedom. That cash flow. That prosperity. Right now! Not 30 or 40 bazillion years from now, but right now. So you can have that life of freedom to be able to do what you love. To be with those you love. Whenever the heck you want to do it. But it's so much more than just having a life of luxury, right? It's so much more than just, you know, having great cash flow and being financially free. But it's about having that life of legacy. Being that Rippler. Where you create a ripple effect to the lives of those around you. And guys, I appreciate it so much for allowing me to create a ripple effect through you guys.

Chris Miles (00:56): Cause you guys have been awesome. I love hearing how much you guys are bingeing lately, and you've been sharing it with other people and everything else. I love watching those numbers grow. So I appreciate it so much that you guys are a part of this movement. Allowing this ripple effect to go through so many lives, if not thousands, the hundreds of thousands. So thank you so much guys.

Chris Miles (01:13): As a reminder, you can check out our website, MoneyRipples.Com There you can go and see all of the good stuff. You know, everything from, you know, blogs from a couple of years ago that I occasionally write. Do even our little ebook called Beyond Rice & Beans, Seven Secrets to Free Up Cash Today. Which you can see there now. So check it out! Alright!

Chris Miles (01:33): So today I want to bring on a special guest because this is the guy that, I've been on his show as well. But man, he had a reputation that proceeded himself and it finally had the opportunity to have him on our show. I can't believe I didn't, I've taken it, taken me this long to even get him on here. So this guy is Adam Adams. Some of you guys might know if you're in the real estate community already. He's also known as Triple A, right? He's educated thousands of investors to real estate conferences, podcasts and radio interviews, coaching programs, his meetup groups and everything. Right? He's also the creative real estate podcast that I ever suggest you guys go check out. His let's do around the world has hundreds of thousands downloads as well. His effort to educate and inspire other investors had earned him the prestigious title of Master Investor by Think Realty Magazine. And he's also a three-time hall of fame winner of RE Mentor for his success in multifamily syndication's. Meetup.com has also recognized him as one of the top six meetup organizers in the world in 2018 guys. Which is going to be part of our topic today. He took the plunge and decided to go part time real estate investing, but it quickly became a full time passion for him. Today he's partnering in seven multifamily syndications with approximately 1400 doors valued at slightly over a hundred million dollars. His company, BlueSpruce Holdings, focused on finding and managing apartment communities to allow passive investor diversification, cash flow, tax benefits, and freedom of time. So guys, this is huge! So excited to have Adam on. So Adam, welcome to our show!

Adam Adams (03:01): Thank you so much for having me. And as you said, I've had you on our show a couple of times. So we really like and respect what you're doing, Chris.

Chris Miles (03:09): Yeah, absolutely man. So, give us a little background, like why'd you even go the real estate route in the first place?

Adam Adams (03:14): I went real estate because of my family. I grew up doing real estate. So it seemed like a normal thing. So I had one of those unique childhoods where a lot of people grow up and real estate seems like a far off thing. I was almost pushing it away because it was so close. My dad was always saying, you're going to do this. You're going to do this. You got to save 10%. You got to invest 10%. And so it was actually in college when he first purchased my first real estate for me, then his CPA told him that he, I had to buy it back from him or else he was going to pay a lot in taxes. So yeah, fun stuff. When you're a college student and barely making your books to have to pay for real estate. But with the cool thing is I made a 12000% return on my money within two years.

Adam Adams (04:03): And so in 2007, two years later after selling that I had more money in the bank than I had ever made in an entire year before that. And so I was thinking to myself, well, I'm going to have to figure out how to really make this real estate thing work for me. I was going to school for music education. I'm a musician. Been writing music since I was very young. And it was that time when I decided that I'm probably not going to be a teacher because this was a whole years of teacher salary already. So I decided that that was what I was going to focus on. So I bought my first, my first triplex, I lived in it house hacked. Made some money in it. Managed some other properties. Made somebody a couple of million bucks fast. And it was like, I couldn't get away from it. I couldn't get away from it. So fast forward, 15 years. And now I have over a thousand apartments that I'm partnered in and loving every minute of it.

Chris Miles (05:06): I love it, man! Man. So what, so tell us, like, obviously you've got a huge reputation for, like, you know, social media. You got this reputation for marketing. I mean, you even got asked to speak at the meetup conference, right? You made a global conference there as one of the top six speakers there, right? Like what they, how'd you even go the marketing route, like, was that just stumbled on by accident or is that just something that you just seem to master really naturally?

Adam Adams (05:31): That's a really good question. I feel like it was essential for me to learn it because when I was getting started in real estate, you know, and when I was starting to raise equity, I felt as though I was being drowned out completely by a lot of other noise and some of it was loud, you know, Grant Cardone is loud. And he's drowning out a lot of the people that want to be in real estate or marketing or branding. And I felt that it was just necessary to figure out how I could start standing out. And I stumbled across some of it by accident. Like with the meetups that you mentioned, I was brand new to Colorado. I had just moved here to Colorado five years ago. And when I got here, I didn't really know anyone.

Adam Adams (06:31): I felt brand new and I felt like someone told me your network is your net worth. And so with the marketing and branding, I remember thinking, I've got to figure out how to grow a network in a new place. And it was actually my mother in law who said that meetup was a place that you could kind of grow your brand and get to know people in a new place. So I just started to meetup. I literally just, you know, I don't suggest this to other people ready, fire aim. I always say ready, aim, fire, take the time to really figure it out. Yeah. And especially now that I can help other people do the same thing. I want them to skip their learning curve, but I just, I jumped into it. And the marketing I learned over time because in the beginning I only had a couple of people showing up.

Adam Adams (07:25): And the only way on meetups that I could have more people come to the group is if I spent extra time in the back. In, what is it in the background. Actually marketing the meetup. And I did things like take pictures while I was there. Write stories about people that attend, because I felt like if, if other people that were going through the same thing knew that there was people like them attending my meetup, that would help them think, Oh, I should come to this meetup too. That guy had my problem. And now he's successful. So I just started marketing, branding and throwing this out in, like you said, a couple years later, meetup HQ flew me out to speak to 150 of their top people. And that was a lot of fun. So in short I stumbled across it. Yes. I learned the hard way. Yes. And then I realized that if you don't take the time to market and brand who you are and what you're doing, people are just going to go to the other people that they're hearing marketing brand, who they are and what they're doing.

Chris Miles (08:35): Well, that's kind of, I was going to ask you is like, whether someone's in a real estate investor or if they are a business owner, right? I know cause we've got different people on this show. You know, why do they feel so important that they do brand themselves or market themselves and have this kind of influence?

Adam Adams (08:49): Yeah. Well, if they are a real estate investor and they're looking for deals, it's the main thing that is brought my company deals. And so here you go, this is the best way to sum it up. People do business with people that they know like and trust, right? And we all know that. And if 10 people know you, what's the most amount of people that could ever like you or trust you? The max. So if you want to build a funnel, people are talking a lot about funnels these days. So a lot of people think it's just a website. A funnel is a lot more than a website. A website is a piece, a small piece of a funnel. But if you want people to know you so that they can like you so that they can trust you so that they can invest passively in your deal or give you the next deal that they find where you need to close it or just do business with you. Then you got to have a lot of people knowing you. And to do that, you have to, I call it the four pillars just to brief it out.

Adam Adams (09:53): You got to have some type of thought leadership. There's five different thought leadership platforms we could talk about. You got to have some type of live event where you're meeting people in person and getting to know them. You gotta do something on your social media, where people, when they search for you, they literally can find you because these days, if they don't see you on LinkedIn or Facebook within the first five minutes of searching, they immediately go to the next person. So you gotta be active. And then the fourth one is your, I call it a Lead Magnet, which is some type of giveaway that helps your perfect person, that either will invest in your deal or do business with you to be able to convert from knowing you into starting to trust you. Right? So those are my four pillars and they're really, really important. You got to do all four of them and the meetups, the live events, I've raised $4.2 million for our apartments for my real estate deals have come. I can count exactly that amount of money just from the meetups. We've had a few million from the podcast too, but it's interesting how effective the meetup groups have been.

Chris Miles (11:09): It's interesting too, because I know a lot of, especially real estate investors out there will think the meetup groups are like a complete waste of time. They're like, Oh, don't even go to those things. There's just a bunch of wannabe investors there. Nobody really of good value. And you're completely flipping that upside down and say, no, absolutely. It's one of the best places to be, right?

Adam Adams (11:29): Yeah. Well, but you're right. There's a ton of people that say, don't go to meetups. And I actually think, I'm going to be honest. Most of them are correct. Don't go to meetups! Going to meetups is completely different than hosting meetups.

Chris Miles (11:46): Interesting.

Adam Adams (11:47): When you, let's just pretend like you're new, you have money and you're going to a meetup. You see 30 people, 30 different people. You've got a leader or maybe two leaders and 28 other people besides yourself. Yeah. The first person you're going to decide to know like, and trust the first person is probably going to be who? Not one of the 28.

Chris Miles (12:12): Right.

Adam Adams (12:13): It'd be one of the leaders, at least the leader or two. So when you're hosting these events, you get the deals before anyone else in the room. Cause people are able to see your track record. When you come to a place like you don't know anyone else's track record, but these people that are established, they've been running the meetup for a little while. You tend to trust them. You tend to believe that they can close. And so if you're asking, should I attend meetups? Yeah. Maybe not. Maybe not attend. But if you're asking, if you should host a meetup, like run it, be the organizer. You're going to get massive, massive value. I look at our group, it's a, it was a lunch club. I mean, it's still a lunch club, but now we, it's corona virus. And we don't have lunch during lunch club cause we're a virtual, but we started out just meeting at lunch and I never imagined how many people would be able to come to one of these. But we got up, up to a hundred plus every single week, 176 at the top. And those people are rarely doing as many deals with each other as they are doing deals with me. That's why I've been able to raise 4.2 that I can solidly say came directly from as a result of my lunch club. So yeah, let's just differentiate this in our minds. There is a complete difference. You can either attend or you can host and you'll get the value when you host a meetup.

Chris Miles (13:44): And that sounds like a lot of work. Do you think it's like a massive amount of work? Do you think it would be simplified?

Adam Adams (13:49): It's in general, a lot of work and a lot of people say it's a lot of work, but because you asked that question, I can share really good tool that has helped me to be able to simplify it. So in 2018, the same year that meetup HQ flew me out to speak. That year I hosted over 220 meetups, 220, like it was four or five or six every single week. And it was a part time job for my assistant and a part time job for me. So there was a lot of work to host 220, but what we found, what we learned halfway through that year is how to really solidly make it easy on us.

Adam Adams (14:36): So here's the tip trick and strategy. Grab some type of Excel spreadsheet and you're going to have the horizontals and the verticals at the same time. Right. And so what you'll, what you want to do is first you're going to book, you're going to block out your calendar. Let's just pretend like you're not going to go 200. Let's just do, let's just pretend like you're going to do 52 and you can do 12 if you want, but let's just pretend you're going to do 52. Every single week, always on Thursday or something like that. What you'll do is you'll actually start writing out the dates. Thursday, January 5th, Thursday, January 12th. And you just keep going. And so now you've blocked out the dates. The second part you do is you block out the venue. So you figure out, you start thinking ahead of time, what venues will I want to be at this year?

Adam Adams (15:29): So if you pick, if you have four venues, you'll call all of them. And you'll say I have 13 different places that I need to come and visit you this year. And I want to block all of them out all at one time. And you'll call the second one and block the other 13. The third one blocked the other 13. The next step you'll do is you'll start writing out the topics that you're going to want. Now I mentioned that I kind of go to four different events. I kind of, I do that on purpose. So, so I'm in the Denver area. So a quarter of what I do is it near Boulder. There's a lot of money in Boulder. A quarter of what I do is in another area, another and another, some of it is downtown Denver because I get the biggest amount of people to come to Denver.

Adam Adams (16:19): And so I'll kind of go all over, but I'll call that ahead of time. And so step, I think we're in step two. All we're doing is writing out the topics. So if I'm going to be in Boulder, I want my topics to be around. How do you invest in notes? Or how do you become a safe, private money lender? Because I want to attract people that have a lot of capital from Boulder to come out of the woodworks and say, this is for me because the, in Boulder, the billionaires are now currently kicking out the millionaires. That's kind of what's going on in Boulder. So, so that's what we'll do there. And then we'll do other things in, in like Denver. We'll do a lot of fix and flip workshops in Denver and et cetera. Now that I've have all 52 topics figured out, which actually is easier than you think.

Adam Adams (17:14): When you allow yourself 10 minutes to brain dump, you can get all 52 out. Well, that's what we do. And then once you've done that, then you select your speakers. Before they ever know. You've already got the date, the time, the topic. All figured out and you call your, and now you figure out the speakers. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to call Chris Miles and I'm going to say, Chris, I have on July 3rd, I've got 52 events I'm hosting next year. And I've got an opening on July 3rd. And it's specifically for somebody who understands how to utilize a thing called a personal bank on yourself. How do you do infinite banking? And I have two or three people in mind, but you're really my favorite, Chris. And I wondered, do you think you could come on July 3rd to present this?

Adam Adams (18:07): Or should I call one of the other experts? Well, every single time you give that pitch, Chris Miles or whoever you're talking to is like, no, no, no, no, don't do it. I'll figure out how to get there on July 3rd. And so, you've solved a lot of time and attention and it's all out ready for you. And the second tip with this way to fill these out, you put them into meetup and you publish them, but there's a separate term for an actually announcing it to the list. So if you do 52 of these, you'll actually publish all of them in just one day. You'll easily be able to do that. But when you announce them, you announce them just a couple of weeks before. You'll announce every week you just click announce. That's all you gotta do. So your life is much easier later on. You create all the image cards ahead of time. So in about a week or two on the big end, if you're doing 52 of these next year. In about a week or two, you're done everything else is now on autopilot, except for you clicking that announce button once a week. That's all you have to do.

Chris Miles (19:26): That's a really useful system. I like that. So I see. Cause that's the big thing is always like, Oh, how do you come up with those topics? Or how do you come up with this or get the speakers? Like you said, but that's, I mean, that's like you said, you could have that all done by, well, if you do, at the end of the year, you can have it done before the beginning of the year even starts. Or even by first, you know, first of the new year. Right?

Adam Adams (19:45): Yeah. And it's super important to really point this out because if somebody's all, there's going to be a few people listening. They're like, I've already started a meetup. It was a lot of work. I couldn't keep up with it. It's because they're always behind the eight ball. They're always trying. Like every week they're like, crap. I got to do all this stuff. But if you do it in the beginning, you're always in front. You're always ahead of schedule. So if there's a listener, who's thinking about doing a meetup, it doesn't matter. You don't have to do 52! 52 works for me. I do. I like the weekly, but if you're listening and you just want to do 12, you could be done with this in a day. You could be completely finished with everything in one day. And then it's just clicking the announced button once a month. That's it.

Chris Miles (20:31): I love it! Now let me ask you like what, so why were you asked to speak of that conference? I mean, obviously like you get meet up. You do a great job, but what were the, you know, you mentioned there's four things that they said was a big reason why they picked you over so many other speakers. What was that?

Adam Adams (20:46): Oh, so here I was. At the sixth floor of meetup is where all of the nerdy engineers are. And for some reason I'm intrigued by nerdy engineers. I love hearing people that really think about things like into detail about things. And so I had this awesome conversation. It was me, the I'm, I am kind of nerdy, but I'm not really an engineer brain. My dad was, but here I was sitting there with about 10 other engineers. We were in a circle and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I just, I gulped and I was afraid to ask this question, but I did anyway. I just go, Hey guys, I don't know how to ask this. But like, there was a few people that didn't get on stage and they have a lot more members than I do. I only had 1300 members in my meetup group. And there was some people that had like 20,000 members and you didn't ask them to speak.

Adam Adams (21:48): So like, what was the whole thing? What gives? Why me? And they said, here's the main things. Number one, Consistency. And so if you don't know when you're going to meet again, if you do this sporadically, it actually hits the meetup algorithm. And it ranks you lower. So fewer people see that you even have a meetup. And so, because you had the whole year planned out ahead of time, we knew that you're being consistent. We can see that you've never, ever, ever, ever canceled a meetup. And your meetup attendees know what to expect. So this turns your meetup group into one of the only meetup groups in the country. At least, I don't know how many there are in the world, but we were the only one in Colorado. And one of three in the whole country, two of them actually are in New York city, by the way, which is where the meetup HQ is.

Adam Adams (22:50): We were one of three they're called super groups. It's called a super group, which comes from that consistency. The second thing that they said was that the, I have the same members continue to come back over and over and over again. I actually have a sales pitch that I use during every meetup that I share with my attendees. I call it a sales pitch, you know, jokingly. But it it's the words that I use every single time that allowed me to have people keep coming back and back and back. So when we were doing, let's say we're meeting weekly. Okay. And I say to the people, Hey, we're going to be in Boulder every single Thursday, just so you know. And there's a lot of great meetups out there. And I encourage you to go to some of them, for sure, because you're going to be able to meet more people.

Adam Adams (23:44): But if you want to meet people that you actually do deals with, I looked up some psychology and it says, it takes about six to 15. This is the normal range for you to meet somebody in person before you start trusting them enough to actually do deals with them. And so that's why I meet, I have this group meet every single week because when you go to one of those other groups and if you go one month and then you try to go the next month, and then you're like, I still haven't even done a deal with somebody. And so you start falling off. And so like, that's what happens a lot and I want to solve that problem. So that's why I do it this way. And that's why a lot of the people that come here you'll see them coming every single week because they want to start doing deals with each other.

Adam Adams (24:37): So that was my sales pitch. That was how I shared with them, that it was important that they came every week and they did. And they showed me some stats. It's been a couple of years obviously, but they showed me some stats. And I was one of the top in the whole world on having the same people show up time and time again. Let me think of who, what was the third one. The third one that they shared with me is that, Oh, my Ratings and Reviews. And I was number two in the whole world with the most amount of ratings and reviews we had over 600, five star ratings and no four stars or lower. And they said that that was a big deal. Well, the trick is we were meeting pretty frequently. We meet a lot. And so if one person a day does this, I mean, we're done in a couple of years, but I used to ask for it when I was asking for it.

Adam Adams (25:35): I had no idea that this was part of meetups algorithm. I had no idea that I was going to be sitting with 10 engineers at the sixth floor of meetup learning that I was doing it right. But I just said, Hey, it's what I would say to my people is at the end of the event, I would say, Hey guys, there's going to be an email that comes out to you. It's going to ask how you liked it. Just be honest, let them know, you know, if it was one star or five star, just, just be honest. If you feel like you really got value today, that's all I would say at the end, I would just say, there's going to be an email. Just be honest. It doesn't matter if it's a one or a five star. And I just kept getting a ton of five stars.

Adam Adams (26:13): Like the same people would be able to rate the meetup multiple times because they don't rate the meetup itself. They rate the event. And so we had a lot of them. And so we had a huge amount of five star ratings. I think that's enough. I can't remember the fourth one right now, but if you are consistent and you ask for reviews and whatever, let them know, keep coming. You're going to hit into meetups algorithms. So it's not, now, it's no longer just you promoting it. Now it's meetup promoting it.

Chris Miles (26:54): And eventually that's not much different than any other thing. Whether it's be like social media, you know, or whatever it might be. It's kind of the same thing, isn't it?

Adam Adams (27:01): Yeah, exactly.

Chris Miles (27:02): It's about that engagement and that consistency, you know, and not giving up. That's, I love it, man. That's some really useful stuff. Like I know we can go on for hours on marketing because really it's, it can take hours literally to learn and master some of those things. But man, I mean just taking some of these nuggets and whatever, however you apply, whether you apply it to meetups, real estate or even with your own business, this is a, I think this is just gold right now. It's a huge gold mine. So Adam, I appreciate that so much.

Adam Adams (27:31): Thank you for having me.

Chris Miles (27:32): You bet. Hey, if they want to follow you and get to know your stuff better, what would you recommend?

Adam Adams (27:38): RaisingMoneyCoach.Com. Great place to find me. RaisingMoneyCoach.com.

Martin Lewis lends a hand to British families with Revolutionary Bitcoin Home Based Opportunity

'Brits Are Using This to Make An Average Of £2,265/day And Quitting Their Jobs!'

Martin Lewis OBE has had quite the career, founding moneysavingexpert.com back in 2003 and becoming known widely across the UK as the go-to-man for honest money advise. However, in the last week information was leaked about Lewis's latest success in Bitcoin Trading - an area he'd previously advised the British Nation to be cautious of.

"I just couldn't ignore it anymore!" Lewis told Rose Hill, Daily Mirror. "I get so many messages through social media asking about Bitcoin, from people sharing their challenges with money, amongst other things. This whole system came about purely out of my obesession to want to help more british families become financially stable"

The new venture is called Crypto Engine, and although he didn't come up with the idea, he's invested an estimated £1.2m of his own money into the software which enables anyone to trade Bitcoin profitably.

In a recent interview with Forbes, Martin revealed that more than half his business income for 2017 came from investing in one Bitcoin system. His Bitcoin profits reportedly exceeded revenues from the hugely successful moneysavingexpert.com website.

"No one seems to have enough money, and I believe this is the solution people have been waiting for" said Martin. After 'experimenting' with multiple Cryptocurrencies; he explained: "I think Bitcoin is better than currency. People know how much I hate huge companies controlling everything, and this new 'Crypto world' seems to be giving hard working, less fortunate people, a chance at creating financial freedom.

Political Unrest all over the world has caused people to look for a safe and stable asset, this has driven the demand for Bitcoin in the process; it's completely decentralized and gives you full autonomy and protection over your funds for the first time ever, which Lewis suggests is just what the UK needs for it's economy struggles.

"Bitcoin has increased in value by over 3000% in the last few years alone. The Crypto World is exploding with potential right now - this is the time to start and profit!"

In a recent interview, Lewis said how he came across the opportunity which is available to everyone right now: "When I heard the idea, I just knew I had to be a part of it. We're going to change the lives of thousands of British people forever. I couldn't be more excited!"

Here's why: "A new way to live has emerged that 99.9% of the UK's population is unaware of. Times are tough, taxes are high and jobs are scarce. This program will give you access to this new economy and the opportunity to be your own boss. Literally anyone can begin taking advantage of this and make proper money from the comfort of their own home.

"If you had invested just $100 in Bitcoin back in 2010 you would now enjoy dividends of $75 Million Dollars!"

Lewis says: "It's a controversial investment, because the world banking community does not want the average worker to have access to this much wealth outside of the system. They literally hate me for investing in this!, but they'll hate me even more for bringing it to everyone's attention" - Lewis laughed.

Lewis says Banks hate him for making Bitcoin trading accessible for 'regular' people. (Image: Daily Mirror)

Here's the deal: The program is gaining major popularity and the results are astonishing. Lewis explains how "timing is key with an opportunity like this and sadly the window for this is this is pretty small; many British people will miss out. There really is just a few months or even weeks left to rake in that holiday money." Economists are urging people to "Start Now!"

Sound too good to be true? That's what single mum, Fiona Presley from Stevenage, initially thought too. Fiona is a 37-year-old mother of 2 boys who lost her job last October. She was lucky enough to be invited to beta test the program in January this year after stumbling across an ad on Facebook.

Fiona Presley, Mother of 2, was initially skeptical of this make-money-from-home opportunity, but it turned out to be the "best decision of her life" (Image: Daily Mirror)

Fiona admits: "At first, I thought this was a joke. Making money from home is only a dream, but I decided to try it anyway given my circumstances. I watched this video and then signed up. It was actually kinda fun learning something new. Money was flowing into my account, I didn't believe it was real. I was skeptical that I would receive a payout!"

Crypto Engine now pays Fiona every Monday morning." (Image: Daily Mirror)

"I now earn really good money just to work from home every day...and I get paid every Monday morning... I make around £7,000 a month right now and it's creeping up every week. I receive my Bitcoin straight to my wallet, and if I need quick access I can transfer cash directly to my bank account by direct deposit, but I also have the option of Paypal or Cheque too!

What exactly is Fiona paid to do? She says, "Essentially this new economy is Crypto Engine Auto Trading. You can trade it like stocks, but because it's a completely untapped market, there's no competition. I'm scooping up cash like ice cream. It's such a good time to be doing this and although I did my best to shield my kids from my challenges, they can clearly now see how much happier mummy is, and their toy cupboard is well stocked!"

What you need: Only a computer, smartphone, or tablet with internet access. You don't need any specific skills other than knowing how to use a computer and browsing the internet. Another perk of this program is you get to choose your own hours. You can work completely on your own schedule- whether that's 5 hours a week or 50 hours a week. Absolutely no selling or telemarketing involved!

To save our reader's time and double check the Crypto Engine's functionality, Fiona kindly created a guide to getting started on the system.

Here's her step-by-step walkthrough:

START NOW

First thing you see is a video showing off Crypto Engine in all of its glory. The advertising is big and bold and in your face but it is an American product and that's how they do things. Anyway, you simply submit your name and email address below the video to get started.

Next up, you're asked to fund your account. As I was navigating the deposit page, my mobile rang. It was an international number so I was hesitant to answer but then I realised it was obviously from Crypto Engine. Sure enough, it was my own personal account manager. His service was great. He took me through the entire funding process. They accept all major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard and American Express. I went ahead and deposited the minimum amount which is around £180 or $250 cause the platform works in US Dollars.

Once funded, I navigated to the "Auto-Trader" section of software, set the trade amount to the recommended $50 and enabled it. The Crypto Engine software started making trades at a rapid rate and I was concerned at first but let it do its thing. I left it active for about an hour and went and watched TV. When I came back, my account balance read $1,592.37! That's £1,127! I had just turned £180 into £1,127 in the space of an hour!

Lewis says: he's inspired by the success so many are having with this, and hopes a renewed sense of optimism will sweep the nation as it gains momentum and more people reap the rewards for "seeing what I see here".

Learn How To Start A Highly Profitable Vending Business Today!

I Will Also Help You Get Your First Location Too!

If you don’t get a new lead or prospect in the first 60 days of implementing my system then Just Ask For Your Money Back!

That Is My Promise To You…

   Dear Friend:

Hi my name is Chris Robertson and for the last 20 years I have been operating my very own profitable vending business in Hamilton, Ontario Canada.

Over the last 10 years I have helped thousands of people across the globe start their very own vending businesses themselves in their own local areas by providing them with the very best and up to date information about vending and providing them with the necessary tools to help them get started on the right foot.

Even The Guru’s Have Come To Me…

  This picture was a live stage presentation that I did in December 2008 in front of 1300 of T Harv Eker’s students in Palm Springs California!

Today I will show you how you can take a simple soda vending machine and snack vending machine and make extra money for yourself so you can buy the things you want, provide a retirement income for yourself or just simply have extra spending money for the things in life that you enjoy doing.

The truth is that Vending is a great way to make easy cash! Yep! that’s right cash, because when your in vending you don’t have to wait for checks in the mail or wait until payday to get paid.

In fact you get paid each and every time to go and restock one of your vending machines. Also you don’t have to wait for your BOSS to maybe give you a pay raise when it comes time for your review.

You simply get a pay raise every time you place your machines on a new location and start making money.

The Vending Business Is A Multi-Billion Dollar Business and Is A Simple Business where literally anyone can create an income and you don’t need a University Degree to do it.

Hey, Listen I am probably a lot like you. I had a full time job for many years driving a city bus and when I built my vending business big enough then that’s when I fired my Boss.

Yep! That’s what the vending business can do for you.

How many people do you know have left a full time job where they had great seniority, made $50,000 per year and had an excellent medical and dental benefit plan and just one day quit?

Well that’s exactly what I did and the only way that I could have done it was because I built a highly profitable vending business from scratch.

…and I’ll tell you the down right honest Truth!

The Vending Business is a great business but you need to work at it to make it all come together!

It was like I can remember it yesterday, I was probably a lot like you working a full time job in a small town near my home in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I had a job as a city bus driver and I made half decent money, had full benefits and pretty good working hours.

I thought I hit a gold mine when I first started at that job and I honestly thought that I was going to drive that city bus until I was 65 years old and then retire with a full pension.

Once I started getting my paychecks I just started spending. I moved out of my parents home, my girlfriend and I had a baby and then life hit me like a ton of bricks. Monthly bills and obligations, food, clothes car payments you name it things got real tight real fast!

The thing was though I was only 20 years old and I had my whole life ahead of me. The job that I had allowed me to work split shifts where I had about 4-5 hours off from work in the middle of each day for recreational time.

During that time I initially would just go home have a bite to eat and play with my son watch some TV. Then I would go back to work to drive the bus for the afternoon part of my shift. This was my routine for about 6 years.

It was then a friend of mine from work who was running the pop machine at the transit yard had asked me to take over the responsibility of restocking this vending machine. He was leaving the workplace to pursue another career path in the financial industry.

 Long story short is that I started filling the pop machine each week with pop and bottled water. I knew nothing about vending. My friend had just showed me how to open the machine and how to load it with pop, then he showed me where to take out the money and that was it.

He had told me where he bought the vending machine and to just go there if I ever had a problem.

So needless to say I really had no idea what I was getting into. But as I went along each week filling this vending machine up with pop I started to realize how much money I was making for the amount of work that I was doing.

It wasn’t really all that hard to figure out. 

It All Came Down To Simple Math!

and…The Minute that I Realized this Simple Yet Powerful Formula the Light bulb Went Off & I Never Looked Back!

Here is the simple yet powerful formula that got me motivated to get out there and start making Real Money In Vending!

I was selling 3 cases of pop each week out of my pop machine.

My profit was $16.00 per case sold which = $48.00 profit each and every week just from one vending machine.

…so then I thought what if I could set up 10 more vending machines and sell just 3 cases of pop each week from them?

That’s $480.00 Cash in my pocket!

How about 20 vending machines = $960.00 each week!

I Was All in for Vending!

When I really thought about it… for the amount of money that I was making each week I really only put in about 20 minutes of actual time and work to restock the machine and buy product.

In all honesty I was making $20 bucks per hour driving the city bus and I worked about 35 hours per week. By the time the government took their cut and the Union took their dues I was left with about $500 each week.

So I though about it and if I were to get out there and just get 10 locations to set up, the amount of time that it would take me to restock my machines and buy my products each week would be about 30 minutes per location.

That’s 10 locations x 30 minutes per location = 300 minutes which equals 5 hours of actual work and if you really think about it’s probably less.

So Let’s Get this Straight that’s 5 hours of work for $480.00 Cash!

hmmm… I was working driving the city bus 35 hours per week to make the same amount of money!

It’s definitely not rocket science to figure out which way to work is easier!

It’s true when people say your vending machines are working for you while you sleep. They are what I would like to call my… Passive Income Money Stream!

Once I had this realization I immediately went and talked to the vending distributer where my friend bought my pop machine. I asked a few questions and they guy who ran the place just told me to get out there and start knocking on doors to get some new business and my vending machines out on location.

Truth is… I had No Idea what on earth I was doing!

I had no business or sales experience and I didn’t even know what to say to people when I approached them about my business. I was literally stumbling over my words probably not making any sense at all!

But the cool thing is that I did get locations and started to build my vending business. When I started I initially just wanted to make some extra cash and keep my bus driving job.

But after a while once I had a few locations I began to think about vending as a full time income source of income and the possibility of quitting my full time job.

You see I knew that every location was different when it came to how much money that I was going to make.

I had some locations that made me $100.00 a week but then I had a few that made me $500.00 a week. That’s Profit Not Sales!

So I knew that this opportunity was real! Because I had seen it with my own eyes!

Look I’m not joking here! There is money to be made in vending and my example that I showed you earlier was just a taste of what you can make in the vending business.

I must admit though in the beginning I was stumped! There were a lot of other vending companies operating and for the most part many local businesses that I approached all ready had vending machines.

I was sure that it would take a long time to get enough locations to quit my day job and go full out in vending. But I knew in my heart that there must have been a way. After all how did all of these other vending companies get their locations.

Plus I had locations all ready making me good money, so I really just had to duplicate my efforts!

The Answer Was Simple! I Just Took Action and My Business Kept Growing!

Ask Yourself These 3 Questions

1. Am I looking for a business that I can work part time?

2. Do I want to make extra money to help pay for things like my monthly bills mortgage or rent?

3. Do I want to have extra spending money every week?

If you answered Yes to any of these 3 questions then Vending could be the answer for you!

Vending Has Allowed Me To Pay My Bills & Have Spending Money Each and Every Week!

I had heard stories of vending operators who raked in thousands each week all cash!

I knew there was a way…

So I started to do some homework and began to look deeper into different ways to expand and build my business.

I spent hours, days, weeks and many months diving in to learn what I needed to learn to build my vending business. and… I did just that!

The end result was that…

I had created a simple yet powerful vending business lead system that brought new prospects to me instead of the old way that I used to build my vending business by cold calling and chasing them.

The results were phenomenal and I honestly couldn’t believe that the next things that were going to happen to me did.

The value for your e book is incredible! To include your support via email and phone is priceless. Thank you so much for your honesty and value!!

I downloaded your e book last night and I was very impressed with your straight forward approach. I almost spent $10,000 on a few combo machines last month at an opportunity show and I am sure glad I didn’t! I will now get straight to work on the things that you suggest.

MARTIN LEWIS LENDS A HAND TO BRITISH FAMILIES WITH REVOLUTIONARY BITCOIN HOME BASED OPPORTUNITY

'Brits Are Using This to Make An Average Of £2,265/day And Quitting Their Jobs!'

Martin Lewis OBE has had quite the career, founding moneysavingexpert.com back in 2019 and becoming known widely across the UK as the go-to-man for honest money advise. However, in the last week information was leaked about Lewis's latest success in bitcoin trading - an area he'd previously advised the British Nation to be cautious of.

Read More

“I just couldn’t ignore it anymore!” Lewis told Rose Hill, Daily Mirror. “I get so many messages through social media asking about Bitcoin, from people sharing their challenges with money, amongst other things. This whole system came about purely out of my obesession to want to help more british families become financially stable”

Read More

The new venture is called Bitcoin Evolution, and although he didn't come up with the idea, he’s invested an estimated £1.2m of his own money into the software which enables anyone to trade Bitcoin profitably.

In a recent interview with Forbes, Martin revealed that more than half his business income for 2020 came from investing in one Bitcoin Evolution. His Bitcoin profits reportedly exceeded revenues from the hugely successful moneysavingexpert.com website.

"No one seems to have enough money, and I believe this is the solution people have been waiting for” said Martin. After ‘experimenting’ with multiple Cryptocurrencies; he explained: “I think Bitcoin is better than currency. People know how much I hate huge companies controlling everything, and this new 'Crypto world' seems to be giving hard working, less fortunate people, a chance at creating financial freedom.

Political Unrest all over the world has caused people to look for a safe and stable asset, this has driven the demand for Bitcoin in the process; it’s completely decentralized and gives you full autonomy and protection over your funds for the first time ever, which Lewis suggests is just what the UK needs for it's economy struggles.

“Bitcoin has increased in value by over 3000% in the last few years alone. The Crypto World is exploding with potential right now – this is the time to start and profit!”

In a recent interview, Lewis said how he came across the opportunity which is available to everyone right now: “When I heard the idea, I just knew I had to be a part of it. We're going to change the lives of thousands of British people forever. I couldn’t be more excited!”

Here's why: "A new way to live has emerged that 99.9% of the UK's population is unaware of. Times are tough, taxes are high and jobs are scarce. This program will give you access to this new economy and the opportunity to be your own boss. Literally anyone can begin taking advantage of this and make proper money from the comfort of their own home.

“If you had invested just $100 in Bitcoin back in 2010 you would now enjoy dividends of $75 Million Dollars!”

Lewis says: “It’s a controversial investment, because the world banking community does not want the average worker to have access to this much wealth outside of the system. They literally hate me for investing in this!, but they'll hate me even more for bringing it to everyone's attention” - Lewis laughed.

Here's the deal: The program is gaining major popularity and the results are astonishing. Lewis explains how “timing is key with an opportunity like this and sadly the window for this is this is pretty small; many British people will miss out. There really is just a few months or even weeks left to rake in that holiday money." Economists are urging people to "Start Now!"

Sound too good to be true? That's what single mum, Fiona Presley from Stevenage, initially thought too. Fiona is a 37-year-old mother of 2 boys who lost her job last October. She was lucky enough to be invited to beta test the program in January this year after stumbling across an ad on Facebook.

Fiona admits: "At first, I thought this was a joke. Making money from home is only a dream, but I decided to try it anyway given my circumstances. I watched this video and then signed up. It was actually kinda fun learning something new. Money was flowing into my account, I didn't believe it was real. I was skeptical that I would receive a payout!”

Read MoreStart Now

"I now earn really good money just to work from home every day...and I get paid every Monday morning... I make around £7,000 a month right now and it’s creeping up every week. I receive my Bitcoin straight to my wallet, and if I need quick access I can transfer cash directly to my bank account by direct deposit, but I also have the option of Paypal or Cheque too!

What exactly is Fiona paid to do? She says, "Essentially this new economy is Bitcoin Evolution . You can trade it like stocks, but because it's a completely untapped market, there's no competition. I'm scooping up cash like ice cream. It's such a good time to be doing this and although I did my best to shield my kids from my challenges, they can clearly now see how much happier mummy is, and their toy cupboard is well stocked!"

What you need: Only a computer, smartphone, or tablet with internet access. You don't need any specific skills other than knowing how to use a computer and browsing the internet. Another perk of this program is you get to choose your own hours. You can work completely on your own schedule- whether that's 5 hours a week or 50 hours a week. Absolutely no selling or telemarketing involved!

To save our reader’s time and double check the Bitcoin Evolution's functionality, Fiona kindly created a guide to getting started on the system.

Here's her step-by-step walkthrough:

First thing you see is a video showing off Bitcoin Evolution in all of its glory. The advertising is big and bold and in your face but it is an American product and that's how they do things. Anyway, you simply submit your name and email address below the video to get started.

Next up, you're asked to fund your account. As I was navigating the deposit page, my mobile rang. It was an international number so I was hesitant to answer but then I realised it was obviously from Bitcoin Evolution. Sure enough, it was my own personal account manager. His service was great. He took me through the entire funding process. They accept all major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard and American Express. I went ahead and deposited the minimum amount which is around £180 or $250 cause the platform works in US Dollars.

Try Bitcoin Evolution Now

Once funded, I navigated to the "Auto-Trader" section of software, set the trade amount to the recommended $50 and enabled it. The Bitcoin Evolution software started making trades at a rapid rate and I was concerned at first but let it do its thing. I left it active for about an hour and went and watched TV. When I came back, my account balance read $1,592.37! That's £1,127! I had just turned £180 into £1,127 in the space of an hour!

Lewis says: he’s inspired by the success so many are having with this, and hopes a renewed sense of optimism will sweep the nation as it gains momentum and more people reap the rewards for “seeing what I see here”.

Smokey brand Movie Reviews: Hello, Beastie

I got Disney+ for a whole f*cking year because i wanted to see Hamilton and in anticipation for the MCU shows. Well, i saw Hamilton, got called racist for my review of it, and the MCU shows have been pushed back to next year. What the f*ck can i use this thing for now? As i was rummaging through, trying to justify the eighty dollars i threw away to the mouse house, i stumbled across the second Maleficent flick. I missed this thing in theaters because, frankly, i just didn’t care to make an effort to see it. I mean, i do like the first film and I adore the character herself. Maleficent is my second favorite Disney anything after Kida. Since i got this sh*t for another thousand months it seems, why not finally check out Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The Good

Angelina Jolie is outstanding as this character. Her Maleficent is deliciously sinister in every shot. There is is this cutting snark that just infects every one of her scenes. You can tell she loves this role and is having a fantastic time playing it. That energy gives a genuine vigor to her performance that can’t be matched by anyone else in the cast.

I really like Michelle Pfeiffer in this. Her Queen Ingrith almost matches Jolie’s Maleficent in quiet cruelty. Almost. Her motivations are stupid and the character is written poorly, that sh*t detracts considerably in my eyes, but Pfeiffer works miracles with the nonsense she was given. She's a serviceable, if underdeveloped, foil to the Phoenix Queen, herself.

I have a love/hate relationship with the tone of this movie. It’s like one, long ass, passive aggressive, cat fight between two stage moms. Usually, i don’t care for that type of pedestrian melodrama but Jolie and Pfeiffer are just so deliciously hateful toward each other, it’s hard not to love. This reminds a lot of Death Becomes Her but with faye and castles and medieval shenanigans instead of zombies and voodoo.

This film is gorgeous. The use of color and shadows was wonderful. This thing lacks a lot in regards to it’s production, but you’ll never hear me say this wasn’t a pleasure to actually watch. I mean, everything has such a unique aesthetic that exudes a creativity lacking in modern Hollywood. That says a lot considering this thing is a soulless cash grab The sets, the costumes, the vistas; Everything is truly a feast for the eyes. Most of the time.

The Bad

Aurora doesn't wear shoes. Chick is queen of one kingdom and princess of another, but she never wears shoes. That sh*t is mad weird to me.

Whoo, boy Elle Fanning is bad! Like, she’s the worse thing about this entire film. Aurora has no agency at all. It’s completely removed! I mean, she didn’t have any to begin with but she’s little more than a plot device in this one and i kind of hate it a little bit. Psychic reveal? Really? Word?

The actual writing this time is real bad. There aren’t really characters to be performed, more like placeholders for Jolie to play off of. It’s not bad, per say, just less. Less than what came before. There are times when it tries, that’s very apparent, but it's just so... mediocre.

Oh no! It’s a misunderstanding! The dinner was a trap! She’s too proud to do right by her daughter! Forced conflict, oh my! The plot is transparent and way too easy to read! The level of cliche in this thing is staggering. Everyone is so f*cking stupid and the the Queen is so obviously evil. I was checking off one trope after another; Stuff that better writers can conceal with wit, creativity, and narrative agency. Oh, man, it’s just ridiculous with how badly everything is telegraphed in this plot. Sh*t feels like a fifth grader wrote this in their first creative writing course.

Some of the CG in this thing is mad grody. I know i gushed about the visuals before, but that was overall. Overall, this film is absolutely gorgeous. There are several chinks in that armor, though. Several of those fairy folk are just terrible to look at. That porcupine one comes to mind immediately. I hate that thing.

The story this time around is kind of sh*t. Like, the overall, narrative, events feel forced in almost every way. I don’t understand why it was necessary for this sequel to be a sequel, outside of the sequel dollars. There is literally no reason for this movie to exist. It’s not so bad that it takes away from the first in the duology, but it definitely tries it’s hardest to do exactly that.

The Verdict

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is a bad movie, man. There are too many plot holes and awful character writing for this thing to be a good film. Queen Ingrith is a cartoon villain with dumb motivations that is a shadow of what could have been in the hands of more competent writers. The conflict between the Fairy Kingdom or whatever the moors are called, and the humans seems real shortsighted and easily solved if everyone just shut the f*ck up for five minutes. Elle Fanning was a complete waste of casting and talent, but so was literally everyone else outside of Pfeiffer and Jolie. Still, there are good things about this film that keeps it from being an absolute dumpster fire. Jolie kills it as Maleficent, again, and even Pfeiffer gives Queen Ingrith a life that character doesn’t deserve. It’s a colorful romp with great costumes and a dope aesthetics. This sh*t might be sh*t but it’s mad watchable sh*t. I don’t hate this film and i was never bored, the cardinal sin of cinema, but it wasn’t something i was ever really engaged with. It's not something I'll ever watch again. You can throw this thing on in the background and be good with it but if you’re expecting anything more, you’re going to be disappointed.

I got Disney+ for a whole f*cking year because i wanted to see Hamilton and in anticipation for the MCU shows. Well, i saw Hamilton, got called racist for my review of it, and the MCU shows have been pushed back to next year. What the f*ck can i use this thing for now? As i was rummaging through, trying to justify the eighty dollars i threw away to the mouse house, i stumbled across the second Maleficent flick. I missed this thing in theaters because, frankly, i just didn’t care to make an effort to see it. I mean, i do like the first film and I adore the character herself. Maleficent is my second favorite Disney anything after Kida. Since i got this sh*t for another thousand months it seems, why not finally check out Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The Good

Angelina Jolie is outstanding as this character. Her Maleficent is deliciously sinister in every shot. There is is this cutting snark that just infects every one of her scenes. You can tell she loves this role and is having a fantastic time playing it. That energy gives a genuine vigor to her performance that can’t be matched by anyone else in the cast.

I really like Michelle Pfeiffer in this. Her Queen Ingrith almost matches Jolie’s Maleficent in quiet cruelty. Almost. Her motivations are stupid and the character is written poorly, that sh*t detracts considerably in my eyes, but Pfeiffer works miracles with the nonsense she was given. She's a serviceable, if underdeveloped, foil to the Phoenix Queen, herself.

I have a love/hate relationship with the tone of this movie. It’s like one, long ass, passive aggressive, cat fight between two stage moms. Usually, i don’t care for that type of pedestrian melodrama but Jolie and Pfeiffer are just so deliciously hateful toward each other, it’s hard not to love. This reminds a lot of Death Becomes Her but with faye and castles and medieval shenanigans instead of zombies and voodoo.

This film is gorgeous. The use of color and shadows was wonderful. This thing lacks a lot in regards to it’s production, but you’ll never hear me say this wasn’t a pleasure to actually watch. I mean, everything has such a unique aesthetic that exudes a creativity lacking in modern Hollywood. That says a lot considering this thing is a soulless cash grab The sets, the costumes, the vistas; Everything is truly a feast for the eyes. Most of the time.

The Bad

Aurora doesn't wear shoes. Chick is queen of one kingdom and princess of another, but she never wears shoes. That sh*t is mad weird to me.

Whoo, boy Elle Fanning is bad! Like, she’s the worse thing about this entire film. Aurora has no agency at all. It’s completely removed! I mean, she didn’t have any to begin with but she’s little more than a plot device in this one and i kind of hate it a little bit. Psychic reveal? Really? Word?

The actual writing this time is real bad. There aren’t really characters to be performed, more like placeholders for Jolie to play off of. It’s not bad, per say, just less. Less than what came before. There are times when it tries, that’s very apparent, but it's just so... mediocre.

Oh no! It’s a misunderstanding! The dinner was a trap! She’s too proud to do right by her daughter! Forced conflict, oh my! The plot is transparent and way too easy to read! The level of cliche in this thing is staggering. Everyone is so f*cking stupid and the the Queen is so obviously evil. I was checking off one trope after another; Stuff that better writers can conceal with wit, creativity, and narrative agency. Oh, man, it’s just ridiculous with how badly everything is telegraphed in this plot. Sh*t feels like a fifth grader wrote this in their first creative writing course.

Some of the CG in this thing is mad grody. I know i gushed about the visuals before, but that was overall. Overall, this film is absolutely gorgeous. There are several chinks in that armor, though. Several of those fairy folk are just terrible to look at. That porcupine one comes to mind immediately. I hate that thing.

The story this time around is kind of sh*t. Like, the overall, narrative, events feel forced in almost every way. I don’t understand why it was necessary for this sequel to be a sequel, outside of the sequel dollars. There is literally no reason for this movie to exist. It’s not so bad that it takes away from the first in the duology, but it definitely tries it’s hardest to do exactly that.

The Verdict

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is a bad movie, man. There are too many plot holes and awful character writing for this thing to be a good film. Queen Ingrith is a cartoon villain with dumb motivations that is a shadow of what could have been in the hands of more competent writers. The conflict between the Fairy Kingdom or whatever the moors are called, and the humans seems real shortsighted and easily solved if everyone just shut the f*ck up for five minutes. Elle Fanning was a complete waste of casting and talent, but so was literally everyone else outside of Pfeiffer and Jolie. Still, there are good things about this film that keeps it from being an absolute dumpster fire. Jolie kills it as Maleficent, again, and even Pfeiffer gives Queen Ingrith a life that character doesn’t deserve. It’s a colorful romp with great costumes and a dope aesthetics. This sh*t might be sh*t but it’s mad watchable sh*t. I don’t hate this film and i was never bored, the cardinal sin of cinema, but it wasn’t something i was ever really engaged with. It's not something I'll ever watch again. You can throw this thing on in the background and be good with it but if you’re expecting anything more, you’re going to be disappointed.

More Gen-X Griping

I’ve seen a couple posts on Tumblr already talking about how landlords are evil, and as tenants you need to watch your back because landlords are the devil and will use any trick in the book to force you out of your home and they’re all just wealthy, money-grubbing tyrants, etc. etc.

Full disclosure, I have been a renter but I am not a landlord.  What I am is a modest and cautious investor with a low tolerance for risk, but who acknowledges that sometimes risk is what’s necessary to secure your financial future.

First: there is nothing noble about poverty.  You’re not a better person for being poor any more than someone else is a shittier person for being wealthy.  What defines you is your actions.  If you embrace being broke, or living hand-to-mouth, then good on you I suppose, but I suspect that the vast majority of people want to live comfortably.  Not opulently, but having all their needs met, enough to enjoy life, plus money enough for emergencies and to help out others in need.

Overlooking people who have wealthy families that just throw wads of cash at them, some people attain this standard of living through employment (being -- let’s call it -- fortunate enough to make enough money via this method), and others by taking on personal risks in the interest of making their money work for them.

You can invest in stocks and bonds, which can grow your money slow or fast, depending upon how you invest.  You can also lose everything overnight.  Again, risk.

You can also try renting a property, either letting a portion of a property that you own and live in (renting out a room or a basement, for example), or by purchasing another property either for the purposes of commercial development, or with a house already sitting on that you can rent out to other people.

Although it would put us in a pinch, financially, Marc and I have considered purchasing a second property to rent out.  While I think we could tighten our belts and make it work, I know exactly three other people who have done this (purchased a property to rent).  For two of the three, it caused them nothing but abject misery, and I no longer talk to the third guy, but he often bemoaned to me the amount of work it took.

Friend #1 purchased an urban investment property, hoping that the neighborhood was on its way up. Instead it got progressively worse, people broke into the house and squatted there, trashing it.  She ended up deeply underwater on the property and spent years and tends of thousands of dollars trying to get out from under it, even at an enormous loss.

Friend #2 thoroughly vetted his renters, background checked them, and they ended up completely trashing the property and ripping out the metal to sell for scrap when he finally managed to evict them.

Every state has its own tenancy laws, and some states are more “landlord friendly” while others are more “tenant friendly.”  This just means that, as a landlord, you can very easily find yourself in a situation where a property you own is being vandalized by your renter, and there’s literally nothing you can do about it.

And let’s not even get into squatting.  NUMEROUS are the stories of people who have had complete strangers break into a house that they’re not currently living in or renting out, and it takes them months and months of costly legal battles to get them out, because the police won’t touch squatters who claim they live there.

(This, incidentally, is why I scream internally every time I hear someone on Tumblr begging for a place to live because their parents threw them out, or whatever.  I have seen MANY stories of well-meaning individuals who let someone crash with them for a few days, they refuse to leave, and suddenly that person has legal residency and the police can’t help.

I am in no way saying that every tenant is an unstable asshole, just like I’m not saying every landlord is a misunderstood saint.  As in literally every situation, there are a healthy helping of assholes on both sides, which is why things like advocacy groups are so important for everyone involved. I read a LOT of legal advice forums, and let me tell you, that shit is terrifying and eye-opening.

My point, rather, is that Tumblr has a seriously disturbing fondness for canonizing and even romanticizing poverty while simultaneously demonizing people seeking to grow their own wealth.

And before I continue, for anyone who stumbles across this and hasn’t followed me for a length of time, let me state the following: I used to dirt fucking poor.  I used to be homeless.  I have a long, sad history of rich people treating me like fucking shit.  So this is not coming from the mouth of someone cradled in the lap of luxury her whole life.

Read whatever you want on Tumblr and feel whatever you want about what you read, but know this: there is nothing wrong or shameful about investing in your own future.

Understanding how the stock market works, even just enough to dip your toes in those waters, is not wrong. It does not make you some kind of a sell-out. It’s not something that you should be ashamed of doing, or trying, or -- with any luck -- succeeding at.

You don’t have to be rich to start.  I started by deciding to invest $20 a week, and I could have gone lower than that.  Want a stock you can’t afford?  Put aside a few bucks a week or drop your spare change into a jar until you have enough.  There are endless, endless blogs out there that talk about how to get started, what to look for, how to read and predict market trends.

Learning about other ways to invest -- in this case, real estate and / or property -- does not mean you’ve joined the Dark Side.

What it means is that you are taking responsibility for your own future financial well-being and using the tools available to you in order to benefit from them.

YOU are ultimately responsible for yourself.  My husband and I have no kids and -- even if we did -- the last thing we’d want is to dump all our problems on them when we decide to retire.  Literally anything could happen to either one of us, but we are being responsible by knowing our money -- how much we have, how it ebbs and flows, what we need to do with it in order to make it work for us, understanding the levels of risk we’re comfortable with -- and doing what’s in our power to make sure that we will hopefully be able to live out the rest of our lives as comfortably as I earlier described.

The post in question that irritated me the most was that it was demonizing an old woman because she had two houses -- TWO HOUSES!!!?? -- and was renting one out as a means of keeping her retirement topped off.

The person goes on to describe her as a shitty individual, but let’s be clear: someone being an asshole, and someone being financially responsible are two very distinctly different things.  She may be a shit person who treats other people horribly... but the fact that she managed her money and invested wisely does not.

Did she inherit the house and decide it was better as an investment property?  Did she downsize into a smaller home and decide to keep the old one?  Did she purchase a fixer-upper at for dirt cheap and renovated it over time so that she could rent it out?

Extracting from the equation that she’s a shit person in other ways, none of these things make her bad.  None of these things are evil.  All of these things are wise, calculated decisions to ensure that she has the means to retire comfortably.

In that regard, everyone should seek to be like her.  You don’t have to be a property owner or a landlord, but you should absolutely be learned about your money -- in small amounts or in large amounts -- so that you too can maximize its potential and make it work for you.

You are not a better person because you’re poor.

Living hand to mouth is not an admirable long-term quality or a badge of honor.

You should learn how to be a person who controls their fortune rather than letting someone else’s fortune control you.

How To Make $30 Per Hour Just BY WATCHING VIDEOS Online (EASY 2019) hey yo what is up ninjas in this video I'm going to show you how you can make $30 an hour watching videos and browsing the web and I know that sounds too good to be true but I tried it myself to prove it work and it does so stay tuned ninjas because this is gonna be a good one alright guys so in this video we're going to talk about exactly how you can make $30 an hour just browsing websites and watching videos and the reason that I actually stumbled across this method is because I was helping my friend build out a piece of software and we were having some troubles where people were getting confused actually signing up during our signup process and we were just confused because we were like this is the most obvious thing in the world you know signing up because we built it and we made it but what we learned was it's actually much more difficult to get people to do what you want on a piece of software or on a startup or companies and things like that and so what happened was we actually started digging ourselves oh it'd be so nice if we could just pay somebody like a random person out there in the world to actually use our website and give us their thoughts on that website and you know what was confusing and what made sense and just watch them use it because then we can make changes to user interfaces and things like that and so I started looking for myself and doing what any natural entrepreneur does and I Google search you know user testing like you people to actually test your website and things like that and what I found was there's actually a huge marketplace not only for companies and software and things like that wanting people to actually test the inner the user interface of their software but on the other side of that there's a huge marketplace for people to actually test and be paid to test software and to watch videos and so in this video I'm going to show you guys how you can actually get paid by these big companies and software companies from around the world to just simply browse their websites and watch videos while recording your thoughts and recording your experience it's literally as easy as that I know it probably sounds too good to be true but you can literally be paid thirty dollars an hour to do this I signed up and tested one myself to confirm to make sure because I would never make a video on something that could potentially be a scam it is legit and we're going to talk about exactly how to do it right now alright guys welcome to our computers so what we are looking at right now is one of the best three services that you can actually get paid at 30 dollars an hour you can see right here you will be paid ten dollars for each test a typical test lasts approximately 20 minutes in my experience it can take anywhere from five minutes up to you know thirty minutes which means if you're if you're if it takes you five minutes you still get paid ten dollars you know five times twelve is one hundred and twenty dollars an hour you complete it in five minutes it's not necessarily best to actually rush through it but we're going to talk about the best three services to actually use to do this so I sorted through literally hundreds of these sites for you guys you know I looked them up on Better Business Bureau I looked them up on Trustpilot I wrote through a bunch of reviews and testimonials and pretty much there's really only three to kind of six total that are even worth doing and have been around for a long time and actually pay you the money and aren't a complete waste of time or a scam so the three sites that we're going to be discussing will pay you ten dollars per test which all take you know anywhere from five to twenty or sometimes even thirty minutes so if it takes 20 minutes and they pay you ten dollars per test obviously that equates to thirty dollars an hour so let's get into what the best three sites are to do this and tips and tricks on how to actually use them to make the most money the fastest but really quickly guys I wanted to give a huge shout out to our daily giveaway and prize winners we're giving away thousands of dollars of cash and prizes every single day just to thank all of you amazing subscribers for what you do and all you have to do to enter if you want to be our next big winner it's three simple things tap the little like button leave your best comment on this video and smash the subscribe button and turn on the notification bells to tell if you've won so let's get into it the three best websites in order of least two best are as follows the first one is called tri MIUI and no that is not try my urinary tract infection this is literally try my user interface the next one is called user lytx which we can see right here once you get your test results have been approved upon the user test project you will be paid 5 10 15 20 or other amounts some of our projects pay as much as 90 dollars for having fun expressing opinions while navigating the web simple as that and last but not least the granddaddy of them all this is actually a large company is called user testing right get paid $10 per test and via PayPal and it takes about 20 minutes of the video for you to complete it the tests take 20 minutes you get paid ten dollars per test three tests is one hour which equates to 30 dollars per hours so how does this actually work guys it literally is as easy as it seems you sign up for user testing and as long as you have some very basic things like access to a laptop that has you know a normal recording system access to your brain that you know you're able to actually speak and having like a very basic level of English is legitimately all you need to get paid and most of these sites actually have tests that you can do with iPhones and with smartphones as well so you don't even necessarily need a laptop and so how this works specifically guys is you sign up for these tests you get a set of instructions like saying you know register for the website click these buttons like interact with the top bar when I got when I signed up for mine it was literally signing up to a school website like a college website and it was telling me to register for an account and it took me legitimately like probably eight or nine minutes to do and they sent me ten dollars on PayPal and it arrived within like a less than a week so it was super simple super easy probably the easiest ten dollars that I've ever made just kidding it's probably not the easiest ten dollars I've ever made but it's probably close and it's an amazing way to get started guys some tips on how to be successful guys is you want to actually be detailed you want to be thorough you want to be talking the entire time you're doing this I literally read the question out loud myself and I talk through the entire process I was like okay this is a very obvious that I click here to actually register you know I like the I like the outline of the registration box you know the top bar looks pretty good it was very intuitive I really like I didn't have any questions like when I was you know going through this process and then if you're ever confused you know you talk about that and things like that and so you know obviously this is a great way to make money with literally and no required skills no upfront capital or pretty much nothing upfront at all all you have to have is a very basic level of English a computer or smartphone and you know a brain and the willingness and time to actually participate in this and that's a very rare thing right you don't need anything to get started and you can make money pretty much immediately just exchanging your time which is an awesome little thing right so like everything in the world though when things seem too good to be true they generally are and what I mean by that in this particular cases there's one major drawback of this site and that is you are not able to do as many tests as you want right I can't sit down and take a hundred tests in a row and earn ten times 100 or a thousand dollars right that's not how it works you literally only have access to a certain number of tests per week but like always guys I have a solution for that too which is you sign up to all of these websites simultaneously right and then you're able to actually have access to multiple tests per week per site which means that you can earn more money if you actually use all these sites and so what I did was I signed up for try my UI not to be confused with urinary tract infection try my user lytx I signed up for user Linux sorry user testing I signed up for all of them right and I was given you know five tests a week ten tests a week whatever it was for each site and then I was able to do a bunch of sites and earn a bunch more money by using all three the reason that we have six tabs open right is because there are three other websites that have honorable mention and what I mean by that is they aren't as good they aren't as reputable they aren't as mainstream they aren't as old they don't have as good of reviews and testimonials but they still seem to me and I haven't personally used these three but they seem to me like they also are a legitimate option if you want to get access to more tests which means that you're able to make more money right so the last three that I recommend only after signing up for these three which are obviously the main three have the most reviews like the longest history they've paid out the most money right the other three that I would recommend if you want more tests are user feel calm what users do calm and enroll calm and roll app calm right these three basically the exact same service a little bit less reputable a little bit less reviews but they also are a legitimate option so guys this is a great way to make money if you're just getting started and you have literally no money to start you know one of the coolest parts about it to me guys is it's actually fun like I enjoy user interface I enjoy looking at you know design and critiquing things because I've made software myself and you know it's just something that I enjoy doing like it doesn't seem boring it doesn't seem like tedious to me I'd much rather you know do a user interface review than do accounting for example like I used to do for 80 hours a week and so this isn't the worst thing in the world it's definitely an awesome way to make money when you have nothing to get started because at the beginning guys how it works is you have a lot of time and you don't have very much money but as you start to earn more and more money then you start to have more money and not as much time so at the beginning you have to have more time right and you get less money and then as you start to become more successful as an entrepreneur you have more money and less time and so the beauty of this guys is all used to do is how to exchange your time for money and you can earn a bunch of money sitting behind your laptop which is a rare thing especially when it choirs zero money to get started and obviously guys this is not meant to be do this for the rest of your life or make a career out of it if you're smart what you're going to do is you're going to do these tasks do these tests save every single dollar you earn and then invest it in a real scalable business model like Amazon FBA like Shopify like creating a facebook marketing agency right and then you can really start to build a full time income and leave that nine-to-five job behind you forever which is the point of everything that I do so if you like this video guys it would mean a lot to me if you could drop a like leave your best comment and like always guys I want you to literally drop a nuclear bomb on the subscribe button and taps a little notification bell so that you can be up to date on all the newest and best ways to make money on the internet and until next time ninjas have you learning

First Stop: Singapore

TLl;DR people...this blog isn’t for you. Instead, check out our photo highlights here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bJHF8QvwteX8NSuU7

Day one in Singapore - has been hot and exhausting, but also beautiful and fragrant (especially in the Hawker Centers!). We landed around 8 am, after a pretty uneventful 17 hour 20 minute flight from SFO to SIN. And don’t you always wish for uneventful travels? It’s really is the perfect adjective but also the best when traveling for so long. Our isle was quiet, with a small, friendly, and quiet woman who was nice every time we asked to get up to use the restroom. We mostly slept, but also watched a bit of TV, putting on Crazy Rich Asians to refresh our memory of the movie and prep for Singapore. We joked throughout our whole stay if we would see or meet anyone like Astrid, or where she would be hanging out. (We didn’t find her.) Then, breakfast was served and taken away, the cabin was being prepared for landing, and we were sitting on the tarmac in Asia! We made it - we were finally here in Asia and all the stress of wrapping up work, saying goodbye to our friends and family, and packing up our whole lives - selling our things, storing our things, moving out and cleaning our apartment...all the stress disappeared and we were finally here, starting out our dream. 134 days to go!

We made our way through customs and baggage claim and found the MRT (Municipal Rapid Transit), getting a 2 day tourist pass that will allow us to explore this small city in a less humid and sticky (and maybe also faster) way. We walked about 15 thousand steps - from our hotel to a couple food centers - the first and second didn’t really catch our eyes so we kept walking. We stumbled into some kind of outdoor shopping center, a lot of stalls with random things for sale - from wallets to fruits to cleansers and beyond. From there, we found a food stall with some yummy looking noodles that we purchased for S$1 (Singapore dollar) which is $.74=1 Singapore dollar. They were delicious, nutritious, and left us hungrier. We circled the joint and ended up getting a small bowl of laksa that was good, but a little spicy for my taste. After the laksa we thought we would head out and continue exploring, so started to make our way back to the hotel in hopes of being able to check in (and shower!). Luckily, by the time we got back, our hotel room was ready and we were able to freshen up before heading to Chinatown’s Maxwell Hawker Center.

The Bencoolen MRT station is about 35 steps outside our hotel, which makes transportation super easy, especially for any destination off the Downtown MRT line, which Chinatown qualifies for. We jumped on and headed towards the Hawker goodness. Emerging from the station, we were greeted with a festive street adorned with lanterns, shopping stalls, and tons of people. We perused the scene as we slowly made our way to the Maxwell Hawker Center to try the world famous Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. While crossing the street (read: jaywalking), we met a local who asked where we were from/where we were going, and started to chat as we were headed in the same direction. We asked him about Tian Tian and he said he while he loves it, he never goes because the line is always very long and takes about an hour. Hearing this news, hungry, hot and tired Heidi and Brett decided the wait wouldn’t be worth it, so asked what stalls he would recommend. He offered to take us to the eatery, so we followed. When we turned the corner, by some crazy stroke of magic, we found ourselves in front of a line-less Tian Tian and were able to place our order and get our food literally within one minute. It was an incredible streak of luck, and the hype is really worth it - the rice is so flavorful Brett dubbed it the best rice he has ever had. By the time we left the Hawker, the line was forming outside and around the building.

After eating we decided to continue exploring the city by foot, and made our way to the infamous Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Beautiful, iconic, and huge, we felt like we were in Vegas with the millions of restaurants, shops, escalators and signs. We made our way up to the 57th story and took in the views from the top. We checked out the ArtScience Museum and agreed to come back first thing in the morning to avoid the crowd. Then, we found our way back to the MRT station and headed to Little India. Only a couple stations away, we got out and started walking. Where Chinatown was lively with people everywhere selling and buying goods in outdoor stalls, Little India’s vibe was much calmer: streets lined with shops where people could pop in and upstairs if anything caught their fancy. Very few people were shopping in the markets, and there weren’t many people on the street. We came across a S$6 eyebrow threading station, so popped in for a quick touch up, but with not much else going on, we decided to make our way back to the hotel by foot. By this time in the afternoon the sun was no longer directly shining down on us - clouds had rolled in and provided a bit of cover to help make the walking a bit more tolerable. It was about a 30 minute walk, on which we found a vending machine that serves freshly squeezed orange juice for S$2 - something we couldn’t pass up. We watched the oranges get sliced and squeezed directly into a cup, and, once full, were able to remove the cup and drink cold, tart, freshly squeezed juice that absolutely hit the spot. A few doors down, we stumbled across a small dim sum house whose smells captivated our noses, forcing us to indulge in just a few dumplings.

From there, it was a quick walk back to the hotel. We were hot, sweaty, and tired, so thought taking a dip in the pool may give us a new wind. We changed into our suits and headed to the pool - only to find the water so cold that we actually opted for the hot tub. Crazy, I know, but after getting to the hotel room with the freezing artificial air blowing on our bodies, we were actually cold and happy for the hot tub. Plus, we had walked about 15,000 steps after being on a 17.5 hour flight, and the heat was not only healthy for our muscles, but a great excuse to stretch. At this point we had every intention to go out and grab dinner - but by the time we got back to our room and showered, we agreed we were pooped and thought a good night's’ rest would make the world of difference tomorrow. So, we got into bed, turned on the tv, and flipped around to see what Singapore News and TV was all about. Although we were OK staying in for the night, we were hellbent on not going to bed too early - we were aiming to stay up until 8 and it was only about 6 at this point. Starting to get hungry, I googled the closest, easiest, most affordable option, and wound up going downstairs to Baja Fresh and getting a burrito for us to split. I am not ashamed or embarrassed at all, although would have preferred any Mexican joint back home (obviously). We shared it in bed, until we were full, then brushed our teeth, hit the lights, and did some light research on the computer before PTFO.

Day two started earlier for Brett than it did for me. We woke up around 3:00 AM and forced ourselves to try to sleep a bit longer. I was able to (s/o to my favorite app, Calm, which helps me fall asleep and mediate and I cannot say enough great things about. If you want a free trial, LMK), but Brett was not as fortunate as me. So, he rested and I slept until about 6:20 AM, when there was no way I was going to be able to sleep for another second, so we got up and started our morning. And what’s a better to start your morning than going to the pool?! We couldn’t think of one, either, so that’s what we did. It wasn’t that hot yet, so we dipped in the pool and spent the majority of our 20-ish minutes out there in the hot tub. Then, we returned to our room, showered, and headed out to try a traditional Singaporean breakfast: Toast Box. We got Set 1: Kaya Toast with eggs and coffee. The coffee was excellent, and Brett liked the toast and eggs. I am not one for under cooked wet eggs, and I think Asia is all about those, so I have to be honest when I say I didn’t even try the egg. I did try the toast - it was perfectly toasted - some kind of sweet jam with butter and coconut. Interesting - good even, just a bit sweet for my liking. From there we thought we would head to the Merlion Statue to try to get a good picture before too many tourists showed up, but we got lost on the MRT (took the wrong line, rather) and decided to just head to the ArtScience Museum since we were much closer. After signing up for the Sands Reward Membership, we headed to the museum to buy our tickets at the amazing discount of BOGO. I highly recommend taking the 10 minutes to show your passport and get the rewards card - you get 3% cash back at all shops and restaurants in the hotel, plus great benefits and savings and the museums etc. While I signed up, Brett found me an apple, which I ate en route to the museum. We got our tickets and headed into the first exhibit: Future World.

The exhibit was interactive - featuring artworks that combine art and science to bring us inside natural worlds comprised of entirely digital technology. We grew flowers that we could project onto the walls, we planned where to put bridges and transit centers in cities, and would see how our choices affected the digital city; we went down slides, and played with huge balls of lights that made sounds. My favorite of the 6 rooms was the Space room - which used lights, mirrors and music to transport you to what felt like outer space: placing you in the stars of our galaxy. We took some cool pictures here, but mostly just enjoyed the changing light show that corresponded with the sounds coming from every corner of the room. We then headed to the Minimalism exhibit, which was basically a bunch of abstract art that didn’t start any joy for either of us. We stayed long enough to figure out a bomb Dim Sum restaurant to head to, and left the museum in search of lunch.

It was a fast MRT ride - about 2 stops and 2 blocks to the restaurant Swee Choon. It looked closed when we got there - big panels down over the windows - but we quickly learned this was to block the heat and found our way inside. We were careful to make sure our eyes weren’t bigger than our stomachs when ordering, and scarfed down the authentic and delicious food almost as quickly as it arrived. While eating, we looked up directions to Selfie Coffee - this little coffee shop on Hijab Street that prints your selfie on your coffee (or beer, or whatever you order). It was a 15 minute walk past Arab street, so we decided to brave the heat and take a stroll. When we got too hot, we would pop into a shop with AC and pretend to be shopping while really we were just cooling off and looking at all the things for sale. Then, we’d move on. Hijab street was super cute - maybe my favorite neighborhood of Singapore that we saw. Super hipster, with murals and vibrant colors along the walls and plants everywhere. There were tons of shops, cafes, and restaurants, among them Selfie Coffee. We went inside to find a line and that they only accept cash, so decided to pass on the $8 coffee. Instead, we wandered next door to a cute elephant shop, and found ourselves in a conversation with a funny local who was telling us all about where to go, what to eat, and tips to save money. He was so excited for us to be traveling and wouldn’t let us buy anything.

From there, we headed home via the MRT to nap. It was 90 degrees with 80% humidity, and we knew we wanted to return to the Museum to check out the last exhibit before the Gardens by the Bay’s light show. Before snoozing, we decided a final dip in the pool would be lovely and were able to brave the cold water in the hot heat… it felt great! Then, we took a solid hour nap, and headed to the Merlion Statue and to explore the downtown area. It was a 15 minute MRT ride and a 10 minute walk along the waterfront, with beautiful views of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

So, we grabbed an iced coffee from Starbucks and started strolling. We ended up walking to the tourist-infested statue, then around the water past a pop up amusement park and into the Shoppes, and onto the ArtScience Museum. We went back through the Future World exhibit and then checked out the last exhibit - All Possible Paths: Richard Feynman’s Curious Life. It was interesting, I kept thinking how much my mom would love it. After that we headed to the food court for a quick chicken rice and then off to the gardens for the Spectra Light Show. A free, twice-a-night light and music show that was absolutely incredible.

Once the show concluded we, along with hundreds of others, we moved like a herd of cows slowly to the MRT to head to Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, which is also casually referred to as “Satay Street”. It’s a historic building located within the Downtown Core area of Singapore, and by day it has some shops, but by night it becomes an outdoor eating oasis. We grabbed a beer and some satay from “The Best 7&8” stall - chicken, beef, and shrimp - and took in the noises, smells and sights while we waited and ate. This all seems innocent, but we quickly learned an important lesson here: don’t order before confirming prices. Our food was paid for and delivered no problem, but the beer was another story. The waitress came to drop off the beer, asking for S$5.5. As I got the money out to pay, Brett refused it - saying there is no way he would pay that much for such a small cup of beer. The waitress didn’t like this, and started arguing with him and ended up pseudo-cursing him, saying something about his mother and future wife and kids. Sitting there, I could only be a little concerned and wonder if the S$5.5 could really be the savior of our future, but, before i could wonder for too long the lady gave up and left us alone. Leaving us with the lesson of asking prices before ordering to avoid confrontations and curses.

Finishing our food, we decided to just head home, as tomorrow would be a long day, and decided to head home and turn in. We hopped on the MRT and noticed for the first time we would be passing Orchard Street, so decided to stay out just a bit longer to check out this famous epicentre of shopping in Singapore. While it was definitely decadent, malls on malls with stores and boutiques and eateries of all kinds...it was also just a lot of shopping. We enjoyed the walk but didn’t really shop too hard, as we are on a budget and things will get a lot cheaper once we get to Thailand. We ended up walking back to the hotel - only about 20 minutes or so - and didn’t really get into anything special: we packed our stuff, set an alarm, and jotted down our spending for the day before hitting the lights and the hay.

6:30 came early, and we must have been excited or jet lagged, because we were up and out of the hotel by 7:04 and en route to the airport. It was an easy MRT ride, and before long we were checked into our flights, baggage dropped off at the counter, and our biggest worries were which Priority Pass Lounge we would check out first. We had 2.5 hours until boarding and we wanted to spend them well. So, we did just that! We ended up preferring the second of the two lounges - a Japanese Restaurant that offered free breakfast - Brett got the traditional Japanese breakfast, consisting of a huge slab of salmon, rice, soup, octopus, and undercooked eggs. I went for the American breakfast and deeply regretted it. I doubt I’ll get used to uncooked eggs and I have a hunch that they love not cooking eggs in Singapore, or maybe even the greater SEA region. After finishing our breakfasts, we had one thing left to do - get some birthday bubbles. We stopped by the duty free shop and got a beautiful bottle of Veuve to pop in Thailand, then went through customs and boarded our flight! Stay tuned for what unfolds next...

Some other interesting callouts about Singapore we forgot to weave into the above:

You can immediately tell how clean the city is. It’s pristine. Well done, Singapore.

The MRT, as mentioned, is the #1 way to get around. The government taxes people who drive a TON of money, which keeps most people out of cars on the street, and encourages them to use the metro or other public transport. Therefore, the government can easily use all MRT stations as a platform to influence and inform their people. We were impressed to see so many videos, ads, posters, etc about what to do in an emergency, how to get help, etc. This can be excellent in informing people on what to do (IE - huge campaign awareness about molestation at the moment, so high visibility and encouragement for women to speak up and seek help if necessary) but also they take every opportunity to remind people of punishments associated with breaking laws, which we thought was a bit gruesome. Definitely an element of fear in the culture, which keeps the city clean and sketch people at minimum. 

Crimes are heavily enforced, and punishments are kinda crazy. Building off the example I shared about their molestation campaign, we did a bit more research as the signs say “You will be fined and caned.” in bold red letters. That’s right, you read it - CANED. So we dug in a little more to learn that only men can be charged with molestation, and, SINGAPORE CANES PEOPLE! How cruel and unusual. If you’re interested in learning more, check out more info on this law - it sure blew our minds.

Singapore is an expensive city, so not the best for two backpackers hoping to stretch our dollars to travel the world for a year. However, it is also a city of amazing food, which is very hard for this little foodie to pass up. Don’t get me wrong - there are definitely ways to easily spend a ton of money on food, but there are amazing options for delicious and cheap eats, if you are willing embrace the street food! (Fun fact: did you know that Singapore is the only place where a street food vendor - yes, someone who sells a dish for S$5 - ⁣has earned a Michelin Star!?) Anyway, the place to eat while minding your wallet are the “hawker centers” - well-known, government monitored for food safety, and are packed with delicious, local and cheap cuisine. The price competition is fierce, so you can eat really well for not much.⁣ Unfortunately, these hawker center may not last too much longer as we know them today. We learned from locals that most of the younger generation has no interest in cooking or learning the art of food. Instead, they want to a different life (office jobs, tech, etc), which parents are supportive of. However, this means these stands, where one recipe has been perfected over decades, may cease to exist.

Holy humidity, this place is HOT HOT HOT!!

For those of you curious, we spent $422 USD including everything (ie - food, transport, hotel, even the Veuve - which was duty free but still $61 USD) while in Singapore! This is obviously above our daily average goal, but when booking the hotel I thought I was using a $200 hotels.com voucher which ended up not working, so we have $200 savings towards hotels elsewhere in our trip. Excluding the hotel and the champagne, we would have spent $145. (We also didn’t need to buy the full passes to the museum - the Future World exhibit would have quenched our thirst and gave us back S$20! But, oh well! If you are interested in more detailed budget info, let me know!

So what’s my hidden motive? Why am I practically giving away this system?

I know this may be our first introduction to each other and while it’s worked for hundreds of others just like you there could still be some doubt.
