InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 besides that, though. fun costs money. fun is for people who have their shit together and make actual money. I'm a breakdown from being deep in debt again, like I said earlier. the last time you made what I do, you were probably in your 20s, right? my AVP, the way things have gone for entry level people at my company, he DEFINITELY started at a higher base in my same position, back in the 90s. he was salaried, though.

David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 http://sethrosenthal...story-to-my-mom Sometimes when I read something on a site like this, where pretty much everything is flavored by years of backstory and relationships with weirdos, I will laugh out loud. Often a civilian who is for the most part a very nice and normal person will ask me what I find so funny, and it's up to be to explain that I'm laughing because, say, 5 years ago someone thought that someone else was someone he wasn't, and thus there is a picture of world famous stuntman Scott Roland on display. This reminds me a bit of that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to all of you. I assumed Strat was crying wolf. You worked in banking, you know that most people have nothing. If you have 3 months of bill paying money you're doing exceptionally well. I can appreciate your high standards, but if you aren't waiting to get paid on payday, you're doing ok Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I don't have high standards, it's just, being flush now means nothing if my base pay can't support my rent. and saying I am flush is really a stretch.

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 oh yeah, BTW, I do remember how ****ed everyone I saw at the bank was. saw a pretty awesome situation in some regulars: two brothers, same amounts of inheritance from some dead relative. one drove a shitty car and never spent more than his direct deposit from his job. the other had nice cars for himself and his pregnant, trashy, fat girlfriend. the former had a 300k balance, the latter 60k. both ABSOLUTE morons, mind you. the accounts in question were not interest bearing. the guy with 300k was lighting like $10 on fire per day just keeping it there.

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 money is meant to be spent after it has snowballed itself and can sustain any dumbass purchases you might want to make. not before. Link to post Share on other sites
iTommyGavin81 288 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Making the minimums it's about 1500 a month in payments. Not saying I'm the worst. I'm not horribly out of control debt. But if you have any savings at all and no debt and no rent, life is pretty gravy. Link to post Share on other sites
