Moneymatician

Slang.
An expert in or student of currency.
One who knows how to manifest money from seeming nothing-ness by reorganizing one’s own budget; Working, leveraging conventional financial credit, reorganizing debt, investing, and any other means of sustaining financial survival for a short time or as a perpetuating mode of existence.

This I can tell you. Your boy was a real moneymatician, he could juggle money like no tomorrow, he knew all the tricks to stretch a dollar. One time he was paying a bill to a company on the west coast of the country by sending a check in the mail, he had me deliver a check to the post office on the east coast at 3pm on Friday afternoon.

Later I asked him why if it was due the following Monday he’d had my self send it so close to the due date with it most probably not reaching the bill collector in time, and he explains:

“ it’s a simple kind of magic. It was post marked before the due date. It will most likely sit at the post office all weekend, the. Monday , it will begin the 5 day journey across country where it will sit for the weekend again, then be received by the collector, then be processed and deposited, and if all these things take roughly 3 days, that gives us 2 extra weeks before they withdraw the money. I’m expecting to receive a check next week, so the money shall be there.”
