It’s the little things, you know? The little things just draining money out of your pocket each day.

Take this as an example.

MoneyKing is out doing his money thing. He sees two people in a huge cargo van throwing papers from either side of the vehicle into people’s yards.

Then the idea hits MoneyKing:

How EXACTLY does all this make any sense?

For a while there, MoneyKing was thinking about WHY this didn’t make sense to him, but in general, the idea of HOW it made sense to the dopes actually participating in the aforementioned activity was more compelling.

1. In MoneyKingland, there are no paper “boys.” Repeat: There are NO paper “boys.” So, that idea that hiring young kids to walk around and deliver papers for minimum wage vs. watching them sit and stare at the tube all day is over.
2. Paper “boys” have been replaced with grown a$$ men and women driving around very slowly in seemingly whatever vehicle they can find to deliver the same papers as said paper “boys” of olden-times.
3. Paper men and women are paid around $9.50 per hour for their work.
4. It is FASTER to deliver papers by car vs. by foot.
5. It is TRUE however that gasoline costs about $4 per gallon.

So, again, MoneyKing thinks to himself:

How EXACTLY does all this make any sense?

If you’re paid $9.50 per hour and you take out taxes and then pay for the gas for your huge cargo van getting 9 miles to the gallon, how much money per hour are you really making? $2? $1.79?

Sure. If you’re desperate for a job, you’ll work for $2. Sure. If you really live to deliver papers (which some people do), then you’ll do it for nothing. Honestly, though, (speaking to the people in the cargo van) do you think you could sell that van to a contractor and buy yourself a nice, old Toyota Camry 4-cylinder?

You gotta do better . . . as they say. We know The Money Kings readers are doing better, don’t we?

We know The Money Kings readers making 40-mile one way commutes to work aren’t doing it in empty Lexus LX470 SUVs, right? Even, if you’re a billionaire, Edmunds (These guys are Money Kings!) doesn’t recommend paying the exorbitant price for this vehicle.

Right?

Good luck out there.
