You actually should bring the baby with you to First Class to save money and punish the petit-bourgeois.

Crazy Mike posted:Ok, I'm going to ask y'all to help me avoid or convince me to be super BWM. This is probably a joke, but... If you've got a baby and money to burn, remember the baby doesn't have to be a lap baby. Buy an extra seat for baby and take the car seat. Then the baby can (theoretically) sleep in the car seat in its own seat while you relax. Three economy class tickets are certainly cheaper than two first class! As for having her sit in economy with the baby or cancel your dream trip in two years, enjoy your divorce.

The fact that this: Crazy Mike posted:Am I going to have to buy two because there is no way in hell my wife will let me sit in first class while she's in coach was probably a serious question to a bunch of strangers-- enjoy your divorce. Maybe just cut to the chase and take a vacation by yourself to Bangkok.

Droo posted:Once you have a paid off home, a 6 figure college fund set aside for each kid and a 7 figure retirement fund then feel free to spend an extra $5000 to be more comfortable for half a day. I don't have these things but I'd much rather pay $1000 for a first class ticket (from PHL to SEA, which is where my last flight was) than $300 for an economy ticket, but I'm physically large enough (in height and width) that economy (and even economy plus) cause me fairly severe pain that lasts for hours after the flight is over when I cram myself into those seats. I temper that with not flying hardly ever and choosing to drive if my destination is within 2-3 days drive. gently caress ever riding economy on a plane again.

Of course babies need constant attention so I don't think it would work. I'd wait until age 4-6 for maximum annoyance which is when a child is less likely to spontaneously hurt itself but doesn't quite have the focus to bury its head in a tablet with headphones while eating junk food for five hours. BarbarianElephant posted:This is probably a joke, but... Good advice, I might do this. And to be fair, the tradeoff wasn't cancelling the international trip, it was flying in coach for the international trip.

Not a Children posted:I impulse bought gorillaz tickets from stubhub because I thought they were on sale the week before and had already sold out. If I end up getting face value I'll be out $50, plus the cost of the better ticket I got when they actually went of sale. I've been depressed about it all week 'cause it was really fuckin' dumb and I coulda used that money to buy mario kart or something, so maybe I'm the real idiot for not being able to shrug poo poo like this off poo poo gorillaz tickets are on sale? gently caress brb blowing $50 e: The event near me is a whole music festival that goes on for 3 days and the early bird discounted admission is "only" $110 per person. Whelp there goes my fun fund for the next few months

meh I'm a musician myself but I outgrew the need to go to festivals when I was like 21. I prefer my live music in bars and my drug trips in cozier settings Lots of my friends still enjoy them though, maybe I'm just a boring old man in the making

International business is massively better than international coach so your stupid plan is a serious misallocation of resources.

Music festivals both own and suck. I'm 33 and I'll keep going to them when there's enough bands that I want to see and I'll keep complaining about how bad they are.

Spend the $700 on a stairmaster instead, then you can go back to buying $300 economy fares. Win/win!

Crazy Mike posted:Ok, I'm going to ask y'all to help me avoid or convince me to be super BWM. I fly about every other week, I'm over six foot tall, and I never pay for first class. I've been bumped up there twice because of all the miles I've accrued, and while it's definitely nice it's way overpriced for what you get. I'm just as happy in an exit row seat, honestly. Save your money and put it somewhere that gives you more bang for the buck.

Spermy Smurf posted:30 years ago babies and children rode on the floor so they wouldn't roll off the seat and/or facing backwards in a station wagon. You can't compare 1980's with new safety regulations. Yeah, my parents had the same cargo/passenger requirements in the 90s (the 90s being 15 years ago, not the 80s) and made do with a Ford Fairlane. Somehow, that was sufficient. I'll admit I have a irrational hatred of SUV's, because they add extra bulk and weight to the vehicles of people who, in my experience, have extremely questionable driving skills. And largely, as I stated, as overcompensation for the physical weakness of their own bodies / other, more Freudian reasons. And even if the added cargo space was for families, why do I often see elderly women driving them, who in the case of my great aunt, most assuredly does not have to transport any more than two people? (Yes, I'm bitter about some idiot reversing into me in Suburbia, Australia.) Fitzy Fitz posted:I don't think anyone's going to blame you for having a minivan if you're transporting half of the hockey team around several times a week, but everyone with enough money is buying their kid an SUV these days for safety reasons, and now there's some sort of a safety arms race going on. If that is the case, I'm investing in APCs, light tanks, monster trucks, those armoured vans that banks use and truck cabs as the upcoming fad of the 2020s.

ate all the Oreos posted:Not owning a house means you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and an "asset" that will suddenly lose 40% of its value the next time the market decides to correct so if you wind up in a situation where you need to move (say, for work, since the market corrected) you won't be shackled to a boat anchor. Get a house because you have a specific use for a house, not because you think you have to to be an adult. Houses do get paid off.

Crazy Mike posted:Ok, I'm going to ask y'all to help me avoid or convince me to be super BWM. The most elegant solution I've seen is to get seats in the first row of Economy and get a baby seat thingy from the airline for the baby. You have so much leg room in the front row that everybody will have plenty of room. First class makes no sense on domestic flights, and it's waaaay too expensive on the international flights where it would actually make a difference (US West coast -> Australia). theHUNGERian fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Crazy Mike posted:Ok, I'm going to ask y'all to help me avoid or convince me to be super BWM. I second what others said about not bringing a baby into first class, but I do think it's worth looking into. Sometimes first/business class is not that much more expensive. For example, a friend is going to Rome and it's $1100 in coach and $2000 in business. That might be worth it. Other times, coach is way cheaper or business is in the 5-10K range, in which case it's definitely not worth it. I find myself rarely paying for first/business when I'm not traveling for work, but I do often find it a good use of miles. And sometimes if it's not crazy expensive and it's an overnight flight or something, it's worth it to me.
