There's this wise financial strategy that I learned a long time ago: earn more than you spend. That's right. If you always make sure that you spend less than you make, you're never going to be in debt. I also firmly believe that if you apply this strategy to fantasy football, you won't be a loser. You've got to earn more points than you lose.
It is very unfortunate this week that I lost more points than I gained. This doesn't make me a loser just yet, but I'm very quickly headed that direction. College football picks killed me this week. I honestly thought that I could apply my knowledge of college basketball to college football picks. I was wrong. Thankfully, my husband only beat me by 2 picks in college. It seems I'll have to be a little more careful next week.
I was fortunate to make up for one of my lost points with my NFL picks. I very smartly didn't pick the Colts to win this week and got rewarded for finally finding my brain with regards to this team. Baltimore also did me a huge favor in winning too. That said, I have a bone to pick with the Eagles. Why do they always manage to lose when I pick them but feel the need to finally win when I don't pick them?! They have become my NFL nemesis team. Really Philly, get your act together!
So when all is said and done this week, I had a net loss. I failed to follow good financial strategy. And I'm really hoping that I don't keep slipping towards loserdom. (Like my new word?) Anyway, this week was a strategic disaster for me. Every winning week to me is like putting aside a hundred dollars in the bank towards my designer companion. This means that every loss is a reminder that a knock-off could be in my future. Next week, I've got to put a little more money in the bank.
Stay away from the Colts, we're playing for draft picks.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. You just wait and they're going to win a few games just because you said that.
