The author of this record, known here only as Moneybags, Esquire, is a man of ordinary standing and diminishing patience, engaged daily in financial dealings with those who would prefer not to honor their obligations.
His trade concerns the extension of credit to individuals of uncertain reliability, followed by the inevitable process of collection when reality sets in.
Certain patterns have emerged. Promises are given freely. Follow-through is less common. Outcomes, however, remain consistent.
Outside of these affairs, he occupies himself with cooking, gaming, collecting cards, and maintaining the outward illusion of a composed and functional adult.
This ledger exists simply to record. Not to persuade, nor to console.
