it's the same as how you're a smoker if you smoke 5 cigs a day or five packs a day, it's just that one will likely kill you and the other probably won't. and if you're a "social smoker" that's about the same as pre-alcoholism, few people stay social smokers forever they either graduate or quit

food court bailiff posted:Also are those guidelines for what constitutes binge/problem drinking accepted worldwide? As hard as I find it to believe that only half of Americans have more than a drink a month, I wonder how that translates to a place like Italy. kind of sort of because human bodies aren't all that different but there's no like global standard for this kind of health standard, it's just doctors sharing info. although apparently italy has super low rates of both drinking and alcoholism, which i did not expect Chomp8645 posted:I feel like wine consumption alone would qualify much of the world as "pre-alcoholic" by that metric. if you drink 1 (or 2 if you're a man under 65) drinks a day every day you are not a problem drinker, because science can't tell if that level of alcohol consumption is bad or good for you if you drink 1.5 bottles of wine on the reg then you are a problem drinker, but again thats not really like a huge deal or anything so long as it's not an escalating pattern of drinking boner confessor fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Pvt.Scott posted:That's some primo stuff right there. So, this guy wants these people to come to a place designed specifically to delight children/young teens and not bring their children. That means he's expecting each and every parent to either arrange care for their children, or leave one half of a couple behind to go to a place that they likely have little interest in going to other than taking their children there in the first place. I hope nobody shows up, even his childless guests. excluding your friends who have children, because they have children, is a great way to wind up with less friends. people are going to choose their children first as it turns out, people generally like their children more than other adults

chitoryu12 posted:She'd probably fight like hell for it. If she's got 4 million pounds in savings but is still living in a crappy apartment without heat to avoid spending too much on living expenses, she's a crazy cheapskate. it's probably in a trust and she keeps quiet about it because having that much money fucks with your relationships - look at how op started drooling when they found out their partner was wealthy and basically wants to cheat on the woman with her inheritance chitoryu12 posted:I would think that, but he mentioned she "takes money out of savings" to pay the rent and supposedly owns multiple houses, all while being content to let her boyfriend work 50 hours a week and just dabble in part time stuff. If he's telling the truth, she seems like she's more concerned with having money than actually living with money. "taking money out of savings" is an obvious lie to avoid having to explain her trust. she doesn't own the houses, the trust does. i know a couple of trust fund kids and they're super cagey about their money because they don't want to ruin friendships by having their 'friends' pester them for money constantly. this is pretty much the only way you can be wealthy via inheritance and have a normal life if it's a trust she may not even get that much to live on, my buddy who has a trust will inherit a few million bucks... when he turns 40. before then he gets like $2k a month which is enough to make sure you're not homeless but you have to have a job if you want a comfortable life. so rich gf most likely isn't a cheapskate versus just being rich on paper and not in pocket boner confessor fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Dec 23, 2016 |

Pick posted:2. Most people I know have trusts that open progressively, often a bit at 18, a bit at 26 or so, 30, 35, etc. because the story of a kid getting 6 mil and wasting it before they're 24 is so incredibly common because it is extremely, shockingly easy to do and not just pissing the money away on jewelry and drugs, growing up rich fucks up your expectations of what real life is like for most people. someone who was self-made and came up from a lower income to being very rich would have a deep interest in making sure their kids had a similar experience. like give your kids the best education you can, their healthcare is paid for, but if they have to work for a living and live in a crummy apartment with no hot water, well, many people live like that and it's good to experience these sorts of things in life versus being pampered from birth till death Demon Of The Fall posted:Holy poo poo I'd be furious if my girl was sitting on a couple mil and I was slaving away at a lovely job and showering with no hot water. I wouldn't loving marry her. you're not entitled to someone else's money until/unless you're married and in a binding legal and financial partnership

She's an insane miser hoarding money for no reason, except she isn't because she's a shitbird buying multiple houses in a country with a housing shortage. yeah it's really implausible that a 25 year old woman is wealthy enough to personally own multiple expensive houses yet chooses to live in a crap apartment in near poverty while working a part time job. it's far more likely that the money isn't hers (yet) and the mail-opening boyfriend doesn't know what a trust is or just had his eyes pop when he saw his girlfriend was worth seven figures on paper boner confessor fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Dec 23, 2016 |

Baron Corbyn posted:He should definitely not marry the insane miser who would rather force him to live without hot water than spend some of her literal millions on heating a house in a country as dreary as the UK. I actually seriously hope she's letting those houses sit empty than letting them out because if she's forcing her boyfriend, someone she probably cares about to live without basic stuff like hearing, I can't begin to imagine how terribly she treats her tenants. wow you are super jealous of rich people lol i mean it's far more likely, like extremely so, that she's a trust fund kid but we can also invent elaborate stories in our head about how she's basically forcing children to live in slums also

Baron Corbyn posted:What kind of person sets up a trust to a family member that leaves them with millions of pounds but not enough money to live above subsistence level? an intelligent person who doesn't want to gently caress up their child's development? in most countries a person is legally an adult in their late teens somewhere, but the brain doesn't mature until age 25ish. giving millions of monies to a mental child is a terrible idea, because they will most likely squander the money on stupid things. if you're going to bequeath huge sacks of money to your child, putting tight legal restrictions on it and giving them a stipend until they reach some age of maturity is about the best possible way to do it

Baron Corbyn posted:I'm not rich but I have hot water despite being a frivolous 20-something who doesn't know the value of money so, no, not jealous. i'm not defending someone so much as making fun of you for attacking someone on the basis of what you assume their finances to be. that's just as dumb as falling deeply in love with a woman the moment you discover she's much wealthier than you assumed she was. looking at someone's actual worth as being their net worth is just as silly no matter if it makes you like them less or more, especially when you have to invent stories in your imagination to justify your anger notice that the dude didn't say anything about this woman, whether he likes her or spends time with her or what. just "we've been living together for 3 months now, i'm really broke, i found out she's loaded, how do i engineer this so i never have to work again thanks bye"

There's a perfectly reasonably reason of not wanting your partner to be financially dependent on you that literally every person defending her has posted in this topic and the other person who was in this exact same situation posted about. It only becomes indefensible when you're making your partner live without heating when you could easily remedy the situation. she is also living without heating so it's really weird she would willingly choose to do this just to put pressure on a guy. welp she's rich, must be evil i guess, i'm sure she's cackling it up lighting cigars with hundred pound notes down at the social club before she goes home to her cold, dank slummy apartment to crawl shivering into bed with a man she secretly despises

Tom Gorman posted:I can't defend or attack either side in this story. The guy is a garbage man for feeling like he's entitled to something that isn't his, and more than likely she's either oblivious to what he's going through or doesn't want to spend resources on something she has reservations about. Money is a great thing for relationships if the two people can communicate like intelligent humans and use it to carve out a place in the world and be happy. all i'm saying is that it's silly to assume she would let herself live in discomfort because of financial paranoia, rather than having a particularly restrictive trust and being bad with money. like apparently she still has her own apartment, which is where the boyfriend snooped? so why not just live there this would also explain why she hasn't mentioned it, because telling your partner that you'll be worth millions eventually but not right now is a great way to end up in a long term toxic relationship boner confessor fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Dec 23, 2016 |
