A blog run by a pretty awesome group of college students from around the United States who want to deliver a wide range of content to the internet from a young perspective.
Sam: "Hey did you read Asterisky today? There was a really awesome article about accounts to follow on Twitter."
Doug: "No way, man! The other day I was on Asterisky and there was a super-informative article about gas prices!"
Sam: "Sweet, yeah, I saw that. I'm thinking maybe I should apply to join the staff of Asterisky -- what do you think?"
Doug: "Go for it! I hear they have a "Join" tab on their site!"
Ausperity (n.)
A portmanteau combining the best of ‘austerity’ and ‘prosperity’ to describe a way of life for the modern age. The enjoyment of the finer things and the appearance of being a high-flyer while actually keeping firmly within one’s means. A baller on a budget; a player on a monthly paycheck; a social doyenne on the dole.
Ausperity was first outlined in a book of the same name by Lucy Tobin.
Since I’ve become a follower of ausperity, I’ve saved hundreds on my fortnightly dinner parties.
What’re you doing throwing away your salary on that rubbish? Have you never heard of ausperity?
It’s because I’ve been following the principles of ausperity that I can now afford this holiday. Cheerio!
