1. START THE DAY BEFORE NOON<\/p>\n
At least on work days. The other five days, sleep in. You earned it.<\/p>\n
2. LEARN HOW TO READ
\nWriting is no longer essential, but \u2026 the successful South Ender can tweet, twitter and text, even if spelling is marginal.<\/p>\n
3. LISTEN TO OTHERS
\nEspecially on Facebook and other social media. Keeping track of friends\u2019 and enemies\u2019 likes and dislikes is an invaluable tool in the South End toolbox. Decision making is easy, just see what the herd is doing.<\/p>\n
4. WORK AT LEAST ONE HOUR A DAY.<\/p>\n
No matter how severe the hangover, the lethargy, the ennui or excess hedonistic activities. Work isn\u2019t ALL bad.<\/p>\n
5. WORK OFF THE GRID<\/p>\n
No South Ender worth his or her salt works in order to pay half his or her income to the IRS. Barter heavily with your neighbors and friends. Crab, clam, trap, fish, hunt or grow it! Food is free and food is fun! If you buy your dinners, food is neither.<\/p>\n
6. LEARN TO REPAIR<\/p>\n
Your own car, truck, toaster, wellpump, toilets, etc. You can\u2019t barter or sell busted stuff and repairmen cost an arm and a leg per hour PLUS that service fee to drive half a day to and from your hell-and-gone address. Knowing a few handyman tricks can save you another part-time job at the fast food joints 50 miles away.<\/p>\n
7. MARRY UP!<\/p>\n
Chances are you\u2019ve embraced an aesthetic lifestyle. You artists and musicians need supplemental income and unless you plan to work full time low paid minimum hour jobs, a second salary is essential. Marry one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
