when my wife and I find a show or movie we both enjoy it's a holy gently caress moment but also not that important. Oh poo poo, we get to stare at the same screen. Also, a compromise is not "we both get to do whatever we want with no input from each other"

I have some animation cels on my walls (I like animation  ) and that's as close as I go. If I love a movie enough to want it to be part of my decor, then I like it enough to track down a cel.

TheScott2K posted:My [25 M] long term GF [25 F] of five years is living paycheck to paycheck on $70K Gross. Gets stressed out any time we talk about money. How to get around this? This one is a little odd, because at $80k/year she should be able to afford all of the stuff he's describing and still save money, depending on where they live and what her monthly payment is on the car/personal debt. The dumbest thing is certainly the paying for an uber every day when you have a car. Seems like she could save a ton of money by actually driving her car to work and bringing her lunch 1-2 days a week?

TheScott2K posted:I love how "nerdy things" always turns out to be cross-promotional merch for TV shows, movies, or video games the person likes. That's the kind of poo poo you hang in your room as a kid, you don't encrust your home with it as an adult. I don't see any issue with hanging up a tasteful poster or print (and not a wallscroll), having a small figure or three, or otherwise showing restraint in displaying merchandise. It's normal and cool to have a really cool Darth Vader art print if you like Star Wars. The problem is when people like this girl want to turn their home into a shrine to video games or anime or whatever and don't understand coordinating their space. It really takes restraint in putting up the right posters or the like that work on your walls and aren't garish trash. Wallscrolls are tacky as hell and should never exist or be purchased by anyone over the age of 14. They're like posters except terribly embarrassing garbage.

A lot of the nerd-merch decorators would otherwise have nothing on their walls because the things other people decorate with - photos of friends and family, keepsakes from things they've done or places they've been that they want to be reminded of, actual art-rear end art that speaks to them - don't apply to them because their "free time" is spent entirely on "hobbies" that involve mass consumption of media. There are a lot of really pathetic 20 somethings out there. It's a real shame. Wall scrolls just end up being monuments to wasted lives.

It says 70k though, and if she's spending the way he claims, it doesn't matter what she earns. People are capable of blowing any income.

Living in a major city will make every cent you have disappear if you don't actively work to prevent it. Buying a new car when you should be making your most valuable retirement fund contributions is also one hell of an unforced error.

This exactly, my friend's brother (who just dropped dead at the age of 38  ) had a movie room/hangout spot in his basement, it was decorated with limited edition posters, movie set props etc etc, SUPER loving cool.

Oh, I forgot, I do have one framed piece of straight-up merchandise: a large, signed limited edition print of Meredith from Dragon Age II. It's in my bedroom so most people can't see it haha. (And a signed image of G'Kar and Londo behind my bathroom door, but those were a gift.)

Pick posted:But if she were in one of those cities, having a car is double-dumb. Not true. I live in chicago and own a car (as does my fiancee). Our public trans is really good (compared to other major US cities) but it does not cover everything well. If my fiancee wanted to take public trans to work, she would have to spend 2x as long taking the train + bus or 2 buses, I work in the burbs and getting here via the train would be an exercise in frustration and require walking a long distance once I got here. Also, I have family/friends that do not live in the city, so I would have to cab/uber or train then cab/get picked up if I wanted to go visit them. Chicago isn't all The Loop, there's plenty of city surrounding it that is low rises/3 story apartment buildings/houses that are essentially a city-suburb, but still considered part of the city.

We should definitely, unironically, lay out all the cities where it is acceptable and unacceptable to own a car. That's definitely relevant to how bad that girl is with money

I'm just confused because from the things listed in the post and me assuming they live together, there's got to be something else that's sucking all her money away...I suppose it doesn't really matter, what matters is that she's apparently not able to save any money and refuses to make adjustments so she can, which is bad.

It's not so bad and I wouldn't be aghast if I saw it in a nerdy friend's living room, honestly. I have seen so, so much worse in people's actual homes.
