I just had to bail out a co-worker who filled up his tank and then discovered that he has no money. Like, not even $25 in his account which is what I had to pay for the gas station not to call the cops on his rear end. Apparently he bought a steadicam off ebay and will now have to survive for 10 days until the next payday.

Me, I'm (almost) bad with money. My procrastination is constantly just this close to loving me over, but never does. A few recent examples:

. Instead, I drove for like two weeks after returning before taking care of it, risking at least an unpleasant conversation with the cops.

I'd qualify the being bad with money pretty much the same way addictions are qualified - unless it's causing issues elsewhere, go hog wild! I mean, buying a Bugatti Veyron for $2m is in no way a good idea financially, but if you have billions, why not?

They didn't pay rent for several months and what happened to that money, were they ordered to pay back rent or something?

Tony Montana posted:He's still bad with money, though, right? My father certainly wasn't as bad as this guy, but he was down that spectrum somewhere. I think being good with money is knowing when to spend it too. Oh yeah, just in a more unique way that most of the heroes in this thread: BBC posted:Bernie Ecclestone's daughter Tamara has lost a custody battle with an ex-boyfriend over a £380,000 "super car".

I'm nor really sure what my parents are thinking. They're going to get some sort of laughable pension from the government but have no savings of their own or a plan to do something about that. Just today I saw this sign and immediately thought about this thread.

Yeah I love cars too, so I drive a 13 year old miata which cost me $40 in unplanned maintenance over 5 years. $30k is hardly expensive for a new car but the guy clearly can't afford it and it's incompatible with his goals. E: I haven't read the whole thread, where does the title quote come from?

ate all the Oreos posted:Ok but what do you consider "unplanned maintenance" because some cars need a full engine overhaul at like 100,000 but that's planned so it's okay Anything that's not on the maintenance schedule, which, sine it's not a Ferrari, doesn't include engine rebuild at any point:  In my case it was a lovely Mitsubishi camshaft position sensor. I'll be up for a timing belt change soon but it basically paid for itself by taking it on some work trips. Anyway this is getting way offtopic, the point was that "I'm a car guy" is a lovely excuse for getting $30k in debt for a car you can't afford.

At six hundred bucks per year, that sounds like pretty GWM way to have a fun car!
