PAID OLD-SCHOOL by Mateo Alvarez

I work hard, but the money’s pretty decent and I can be a little flexible with the hours.I take Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, and even PayPal—all connected to my bank account.

This guy usually pays me on Venmo, but today he handed me two twenties and said, “Keep the change.” Bro…

I got a towel in the bottom of my ice chest. I’m going to clean myself off and make a Whataburger run. Brooks is working today, so I thought I’d grab a milkshake and say hi.

I think all the electronic payment stuff is fire, but I guess there’s something different about feeling the paper in your hand.

Message to Paying Supporters:

Thank you for helping support AGI Stories.

I always consider you—the paid members—when deciding how content is shared.

I cannot say how much your support helps. Each of your contributions adds up and helps defray the cost of producing content. As of now, between donations here and Instagram monetization, most of the software costs are covered. Not quite all of them, but most…

Because of your generosity, I am able to keep going.

With that in mind, again, thank you very much.
