Uggh.

Just… ugh:

There is a plague sweeping the land, and you must prepare yourself. Are you ready for the creeping dread of unpaid bills? The sheer, unrelenting horror of bankruptcy? The non-stop terror that are creditors? Will you live to survive another day, or will you succumb to the apocalypse of Zombie Economics?

…

Zombie Economics is a personal finance guide written specifically with idiots like me in mind. Simple, straightforward, and without a trace of pretentious BS anywhere. The authors compare the idea of a zombie apocalypse to financial Armageddon, with each chapter dealing with a particular subject, like the best and easiest way to save money, dealing with creditors and even making the best when you’re unemployed, and framing it in the apocalypse context. Chapter five, for example, is titled “They’ll eat the fat ones first”, and the section deals with the idea of fitness and exercise being a key to reducing expenses. Every chapter begins with a short prologue, which reads like excerpts from any number of zombie novels on the market, with the financial stuff coming at the end.

Is this like how a spoonful of sugar supposedly helps the medicine go down? A dash of hate makes learning fun?

I really, really need to drink more heavily.

Fortunately in a clever bit of serendipity, you don’t have to buy this awful book, you can win a copy instead and save the money!

As for me, I’m going to rework the finances for the ZRC so I can crowbar in another bottle of tequila. Something tells me I’m going to need it this month.

I wonder if that qualifies as a business expense…
