These cookies aren't too bad for the price. They are made here in town, not shipped from far away. There's something to be said for regular cookies, that's for sure, but there's something about a hardy cookie with some real body to it, you know? Big cookie wants you to buy their name brand cookie, but you just get less cookie for your dollar. It's all about spending your money on the right cookie, that's the best value.

What the fuck do I do now?

Middle age, middle classfag here. Mortgage, kid, married. Wife works in healthcare. No debts other than the mortgage.

Don't have much in liquidity, maybe about 30k that I could scrape up in a pinch.

But here's the thing.

My business is almost dead. It provided well enough for the past 15 years, but with the economy being shitty for pretty much the last 4 years or so, it's almost at its end. Clients are going out of business, or cutting back so severely that I'm becoming obsolete.

The writing is on the wall. I have to find something else to do.

Fine, I'm something of an entrepreneur, and can work like mad at achieving a goal. I thought my business would grow, but there's only so much I could do before external factors squashed those dreams. I've kept it going as long as I can, but I have to move on.

But to what? And how?
