The only person I know who has ever owned a boat is one of my dad's friends from back when he built airplane turbine engines. Guy founded his own company and sold in the early 2000s for something like $12 million and even he got rid of his boat because it was too expensive. And he would sail it all up and down the Atlantic and go to Bermuda and scuba dive and what not. If a multi-millionaire thinks owning a boat is too expensive, I think owning a boat is too expensive for everyone.

thegalagakid posted:In both of those cases, my kids wanted to learn because they thought it would be cool and they got the idea from somewhere else and just kinda ran with it on their own. I come across a lot of parents that have kids in music programs that know gently caress-all about a keyboard or guitar or anything musical, they just go through the motions of what they think they should do to check the box. "You're going to learn this because you're supposed to". I don't think the people in this finance thing have any remote clue what they are doing, and I can almost guarantee the parents are those "check the box" people for that amount of money they are spending. They are the kind of people that have a Steinway in their foyer and have no idea how to use the thing. Maybe I'm totally wrong on this, but i kinda have a feeling. There might be some fee milking by the instructors, but doing classical music is time and cost-intensive. I can easily see how money would rack up. Unless your kid is a prodigy, theory and proper technique take time to learn and a good teacher makes a lot of difference. Plus, those kids could be like me and hate it in the beginning and only love playing music later when they get to exercise more agency in what and where they played. I really hated piano lessons and the recitals, but it helped me become a better bass player (which my parents never approved of, but tolerated). DrNutt posted:That's nice.

It’s like having a second mortgage on a house you have to pay another mortgage on to rent the lot it’s sitting on. Yeah, I was always interested in his sailing adventures so I'd ask what's up and inevitably every time it was "well this thing broke and that's going to cost about $15,000 to fix oh and I need to re-do another thing that costs another $5,000 plus we had to make an emergency port in the Bahamas so that was about $6,000 for the one night we docked there and fuel" He ended up building a dock at his house in Florida for something like $100k? $200k? because it was cheaper than paying the marina fees  . Now instead of doing boating stuff he goes out to Oregon where his son lives and helps build houses for Habitat for Humanity and he says the stress level is way lower.Don't own a boat.

Lmao if you think my grandmother would've bought me a Casio when we have a perfectly good (out of tune) piano. It's a miracle I even learned to play because we didn't even get it tuned the first time until I was 20 and had already bought my cheap rear end Yamaha by then. My mom has bought my guitars has gifts/presents. The acoustic one I bought myself when I was still working and the Epiphone (ikr!) was a hand me down from a friend's brother. Every cool thing I own was handed down to me or got a garage sale. (My vintage cameras, although two of those was handed down to me as well) aside from my computer (which goons helped me finish building) and most of my camera/audio equipment.

My son decided he wants to do band in September and chose the saxophone (instead of the drums like his old man  ) and I don't think I've ever even picked up a wind instrument in my life. Should be cool though.I got a bass recently. I feel pretty good about it.

That Pew research poll a few pages back is very good news. It should be possible to use it to destroy all the mainstream "conservative" media. "Uh, if you want to be in business in 10 years you better get your house in order" Of course some companies will still work on next quarters bottom line but it looks like the free market is on the brink of declaring being a neo Nazi sociopath is bad for business.

It's a fun instrument and fairly easy to play compared with a brass instrument or other woodwinds like flutes, oboes, etc. Make sure he takes care of his reeds though! Reeds can get real, real nasty if you don't properly store them. edit: also see if you can buy him a used saxophone rather than a new one. Saxes tend to be fairly easy to maintain and clean so even an older used one should still make good music. I think mine was only like $200 compared with $800 for a new one. axeil fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Apr 12, 2018 |

That $500k/yr budget is hilarious. We don't make that much, still have a tight budget despite doing very well compared to most of the country. I've posted before about COI in Southern California with my 4 kids, and been eviscerated for it, but my budget is at least a bit more reasonable than that. I have 4 kids, because I'm a drat masochist, and here's some insight into real-world costs in Orange County: Daycare : We were spending $3,300/month for the 1 and 3 year old to be in daycare at an average chain facility by the house. We recently switched to an in-home daycare for about $2,000 and it rocks. Tuition : Kids go to public schools. Food : Probably spend $500/month. We don't eat out. Four kids, man. Lessons : My 9 year old does Parkour classes on Saturdays (We've been trying to get him active any way possible, as the dude just wants to sit and play xbox all day. We finally found something that will get him moving), My 3 year old does gymnastics one day per week and swimming another, and my 1 year old does swimming one day per week with my wife. Total for all of this is about $550/Month. Vacations : I have four loving kids. My wife is an attorney and I work even more hours than she does. We don't do vacations because how the gently caress would we? We have Disney annual passes, instead, which is insanely expensive ($4,000/year for the family) but gives us something to do when we get the chance on the weekends and the occasional day taken off from work. *edit* Alto sax here, too. 6th-9th grades. I wonder if I could even make a noise come out of one now, 20+ years later.
