You also probably didn't maintain it as well as you do your lexus. Not saying that Tempos were any good nor that you aren't in the right to protect your car for as much as you spent on it but don't blame a cheap car for behaving badly when you took it to Jiffy lube banged on it with a wrench and a chilton's manual.

Yeah but you wrapped it all up in a big long humblebrag about owning $80K worth of vehicles and rarely driving in the bad with money thread. You really did ask for it. MrKatharsis fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Aug 18, 2015 |

Well, we were poor so we did all of our own work on our cars. Basically bought them from junk yards and kept them running as best we could. The best car my brother sister or I ever owned growing up was actually an 80s honda CRX. That thing ran like a boss and if my mom hadn't sold it about 4 years ago... well I assume it's still running. Sometimes people get lucky and poo poo takes a right turn. Yeah, its literally the first new car i've ever had in my life. I'm happy about it. I don't see why you have such a need to poo poo on people when things are going right? It's some serious crab mentality. Seriously though. The Bellevue thing is the worst insult. Just punch me in the gut why don't you? silicone thrills fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Mar 18, 2015 |

There's a guy about a quarter mile down the street from me who parks his Gallardo in front of my building every Saturday night during the summer. He parks and waits for people on the sidewalk to talk to him about it, then after like a hour he hops in and drives it back to his garage - all a top speed of a quarter mile an hour, since this is a beach road and traffic backs up for miles at 7pm on a summer weekend.

Weird fetish: financial domination.quote:The fetish of financial domination basically entails men (or "pay pigs," as they're known within the fi-dom world) transferring large sums of money to women over the internet. The nuances vary, but a relationship can stretch anywhere from a pay pig sending his dominatrix $30 a week to donating the vast majority of his earnings and having his dom take full control of all his finances. Which seems a little frivolous given the current economic climate, but I guess that's kind of the point. quote:I've heard that some slaves "adopt" their mistresses household bills and pay them. Do you ever do that?

I used to see this sort of nonsense in Miami, especially on South Beach. People would drive their zillion-dollar cars down to Collins Avenue/A1A/Ocean Drive just to sit and be seen in bumper-to-bumper beach traffic. A few circles on the Bentley-Clevelander-Betsy circuit, and that's your whole night gone. Another fun activity in South Florida is golf-course spectating. I don't mean the actual game of golf, which ranks below fingernail-cleaning as a spectator sport. I mean watching people come and go from golf courses. It's great to see some guy roll up in his Porsche Spider with his golf clubs in the passenger seat, or to watch a WASP in checkered golf pants gently remove one club at a time from the tiny trunk of his supercar, then spend ten minutes cursing and licking his thumb while trying to rub away an imaginary scuff left by the handle of one of the clubs.

Put the people of Bellevue aside for one moment and just look at the city itself. In terms of style and feel it's like someone went to Neiman Marcus, grabbed something ill fitting off the rack, didn't have it tailored and gave no thought to accessorizing or whether it went with anything else they owned and didn't just look completely mismatched all the time and yet they thought it would be ok because, HAY GUYZ, THIS IS FROM NEIMAN. There's nothing wrong with the garment per se... you just can't pull it off. What are you even thinking? Now think about the people that would be attracted to a place like that. THIS IS PLACE IS PRETTY FANCY, HUH? That city lacks any style and the gauche attitudes...ho boy.

Centripetal Horse posted:I enjoyed the Bellevue derail. My wife and I got married on Hollywood Beach slightly north of Miami and we went back for our third wedding anniversary and rented a convertible volvo (free upgrade from the corolla we reserved) and had a lovely time driving down Collins/A1A. We felt like the people that dress in white on an episode of CSI:Miami (the successful ones) for a little bit  We're poor, but that vacation was something we'll treasure forever. People like to poo poo on South Beach, but it's a darn sight prettier than Houston. Once I pay all my debts off, I'll see about going back again. I love treating my wife like a queen, at least as often as I can.

Instead of being a bitter gently caress, why don't you figure out a way to make more money instead of demonizing those who can afford things that you can't. So what if high earners with networths over $1Million+ want to buy designer clothes and lease nice cars? What else are they supposed to do with their excess cash? Give it to people like you? Let's get back to making fun of people who are $100k in debt because they got a liberal arts degree and can't afford their car lease.

fruition posted:It just irks you to the core that people exist who can afford to spend money without worrying about it, huh? The number one key to fitting in anywhere is to "act like you've been here before." New money is basically the opposite of that and considering the ostentatious way that new money begs for attention, who can help notice it and mock it? In bad with money news, my brother is all talk and mentioned starting his third run at higher education. My father has basically agreed to fund it again, but this time he's depositing the money directly to the school and it's up to my brother to actually register for classes, attend them, and can't cash out any remaining cash to spend on dumb poo poo. So, who's worse with money-- my brother for setting tens of thousands of dollars on fire and probably being too lazy to actually go get this free 2-year degree, or my dad for expecting anything new from my brother and throwing good money after bad?

New money is basically the opposite of that and considering the ostentatious way that new money begs for attention, who can help notice it and mock it? I know a guy who will pay for his kids' education at the end of each semester. Student uses loans or their own savings to pay for a semester, and dad reimburses (plus any accrued student loan interest) at the end of the semester if they maintain a 3.0 average. I think that's a pretty smart approach, and your dad should consider it. Dad gets to help out with college, and if your dumb brother wants to be a screwup then he is not insulated from the consequences.

Reddit posted:For her bank contacted her and she admitted to giving him the info, so they informed her she was liable for the bounced checks. Lol, no. You give out sensitive financial information every day. It's printed on your frigging checks. Giving someone the login to your online banking account does not make it legal for them to order checks and rob you blind. I know someone who had something similar happen to her. She did not give out her information willingly, but her identity was stolen by someone she knew. This other woman got credit cards, and bank accounts, and identification in the victim's name. Bank of America gave this acquaintance of mine the runaround for weeks, and repeatedly told her, "This is not our problem. You know the person who did this, and it's your responsibility to take care of it," and refused to reverse any charges, or do any investigations, or even give her the paperwork to request those things. I was loving furious, and it didn't even happen to me.
