Intruder posted:I'm making rum balls Rum balls are great. Don't think I've eve had homemade but my dad sometimes buys them around this time of year. My favorite Christmas cookies are these peanut butter ones my aunt makes with a Hershey's Kiss in the middle though. Those are the best.

Tulips have not lost value, one tulip is still one tulip. This is just a temporary adjustment in the exchange rate with an obsolete fiat currency. Calm down. (I think I posted that earlier from someone else's twitter, but it's 7am and I'm at an airport and too lazy to look it up. Thank god OAK doesn't follow Oakland's prohibition on selling booze before 9 am)

I was at the mall and went into a board game store, there's a Dark Souls board game that looks fun. Sidenote, it's $120.

Dracula's Feast is another good one for large groups. Players are given a card stating what character they are and have to determine the identity of everyone else. Characters have rules stating they have to answer in certain ways or have alternate win conditions.

So to those of you who are married, especially if you have kids, what would your reaction be if upon waking up on Christmas morning and going down the stairs to enjoy opening gifts with the family you find out that the wife bought you a new Mercedes/Audi complete with giant bow and $350 a month lease payment?

I think 20 Mil is the number that you can expect to live off the interest at like 700k a year. I'd be okay with it then.

I'll take the route that will make TFF mad. I'd probably be thinking about returning it bc that low of a payment would mean is was a C class Mercedes or a 4 series Audi

I'd probably just buy some normal car even if I were super rich. Maybe a Tesla if I wanted to be fancy?  My money would go to building a ranch home and season tickets for the Astros, Rockets and Texans

Hiring a shrink. Aside from the obvious money issue, a car seems like a terrible thing to buy someone unless you know exactly what it is they want re:options and such. You wanted all-wheel drive? Whoops, back to the dealer!

Buying a new car is also a bad idea. Finance also seems like a bad idea unless you really need a car.

I'd be really happy with a paid off used 2014 Civic with good options and under 50,000 miles. I'd love to wake up to that in my drive way.

I'd be at least a little pissed. Unless you have completely separate finances, that needs to be a joint decision no matter how much money you have in the bank. If you have separate finances, I question how long that relationship's going to last. Also, I'm cheap and would rather pay cash for an older model than lease/pay interest on something that depreciated by half the moment you removed that stupid-rear end bow.

I finally paid off my 2009 Mercury Milan, though of course the next day I find out there is a recall for the passenger air bags that won't get fixed till Spring 2018.

I'd probably be thinking about returning it bc that low of a payment would mean is was a C class Mercedes or a 4 series Audi Same, actually. If the payment is that low it’s either a stripper spec or you put down a big cap cost reduction which is a terrible idea when leasing. Or both, probably.

Yeah but after the lease is up you roll it into the next lease and just drive new cars forever without ever doing maintenance or worrying about it breaking down
