Also, no, I don't have a family to care for but ... well, I don't know if I should really mention this but fuck it... I do pay for pretty much everything of my girlfriend's, she's actually in debt. So......

That's not including my mom and just about everyone else I know borrowing money from me all the time.

And even when I buy Nintendo games, they're used for real cheap.

All I eat is ramen, spaghetti, and Chinese food. And my car gets 42 miles to a gallon and only cost $500. So, yeah, I guess you could make a point that not everyone only wants ramen or a $500 car. But it still proves I can save money with the best of them... because I'm smart, not because my mom lets me sit on my ass and live here for free or whatever you're suggesting.

Thinking about it now, the only bill I don't pay at least half of at this house is the house insurance bill. Also, I don't pay taxes on the house though I let my mom have $200 last time to pay for them.

I like you adam cuz you always keep yr cool under any circumstances.
yay for u.

Damn,
you must have really enjoyed her finger up your butt








(p.s. I'm just teasing)

Haha thanks. Well, there's no reason to be pissy, floatingslowly almost made a good point but I needed to clarify some things.

It's harder to be out on your own, PERIOD, not just from a money standpoint..

Anyway, my shitty Wal-Mart checks only equaly about $500 per check ($1000 to $1500 a month), and I honestly think having only $9000 after making a good $36000-$40000 in the past 3 years is actually pretty shitty. But hey.

Are you serious?!
1500 a month?!?

Holy shit, dude
Why the fuck are you working at Wal-Mart?

I don't feel comfortable talking about this stuff sometimes because no one in real life knows this stuff except me and her. She lives at home and her mom doesn't know this stuff because she's embarassed by it. Also, she posts on here occassionally as I've said before but I don't think she'll see this.

I just give her money from every paycheck I make to help her out. She's ran up credit card debts and she has a few habits that are pretty.. insane... she collects $500 dolls and makes anime character costumes and all this shit. She has a $300 car payment on her BRAND NEW car plus $100 insurance a month. I just, you know, help her out. I usually drive when we go out. And I always pay for dinner and movies and whatever. At the end of the day, it's difficult, because I don't feel she truely appreciates all that I do for her. But I love her.

And her stinkfinger.

$1000-1500 a month is great for part time isn't it?

I had to work really hard to get merit raises and shit and I'm the frozen foods 3rd shift department manager now, so I could eventually make more than I make now. It's good pay for what I spend I guess, and it's an easy job. I just stand around and help order shit.

One day, I want to be a court room typist or a secretary considering I type 149 words per minute. But right now, living at home and trying to be in a band that plays live and so on and so forth, I don't want that much responsibility yet.. at least until my girlfriend moves out.

^^^dedication.

Oh, part time

I have no idea if that's good or bad for part time
I was just sayin, that's not much if you're working full time busting your ass

Hm. Lemme think. If I worked full time, I'd be making $2000 at the least probably. Which maybe doesn't seem like much but that equals roughly $24,000 a year (actually more since some months there are 3 pay checks), which is roughly the average income for a person in Bartholomew County, where I live at. So, I don't think it's bad, especially when you consider that I don't do much.

It's easy to be rich, if you're smart and/or want to work hard. If a person really wanted to, they could work 3 jobs for a year or work at some shitty factory making a ton of money for a year or live in their car or whatever. These aren't things most people would be comfortable doing, especially since most people seem to get in debt as soon as they're old enough to get a credit card, but the reason I work part time is so I can actually enjoy my life for a few more years. I'm actually busy quite often for someone who works part time... and though it'd be nice to be rich, I'd rather enjoy my life. Money isn't everything.

Most people I know who bitch about money smoke 2 cartons of cigarettes a week or get drunk every other night or run up credit cards or whatever. I'm proud of myself for not doing that. I mean, robotussin is only $7 a bottle!


I hope people don't think it's wrong of me to be proud of my accomplishments... what people on here may not know is that I grew up with nothing. I mean, we were the poorest family ever. Everything that I have that is of an value, I've paid for myself... everyone else had cars when they were 16, I didn't get one until I was 19.. that I paid for myself. $500 but it's ran great for 3 years!

Damn...

Sometimes I forget how real/rough it is for a pimp out in the world

For money, I'm going to buy a lot of bad mortgages, package them all together, call it a structured investment vehicle, sell it to some sap for fucking bills, and bounce.

Don't worry about the sap, though, your tax dollars will cover his ass.

work 55 hours a week as I did. I made $5000 in 2 months.
it was all about selling cigarettes to brothas in a bad looking ghetto neighborhood in Baltimore (the greatest city in America), but it was well worth it.

I have to agree that getting a degree isn't mandatory in getting a decent job. I hate the people I know who go to school thinking they're going to be millionaires or people who are mad at me because I have never attended college. I always thought going to college was for the pursuit of learning and for the knowledge/experience gained (and a degree of course) and not so much about "I'm going to get fucking rich after I graduate!" Like, the only college I'd be interested in going to is probably an art school, and I highly doubt any degrees I'd get from there would help me much in life. If people wanted to be doctors or lawyers, they could easily do that.. like I said, we could all be rich pretty easily if we were really committed to that. But meh.

Yeah, don't forget crypto, we don't all roll like you do. You are like the McCain of this board. "What? You all don't have 7 houses? Oh, you work part time. Then you must have, like, 4 houses, right?"

And yes, I do have a family to take care of, but the book store thing might work for evenings. I was also thinking about Mcdonald's, only because they have a 24 hour drive-thru. I would just be dead all the time.

EDIT: Thanks Shaka Lacka, I'll check out that book.

AMEN!!!

AMEN!

ALMOST? fuck off!!

that said...

what you've been able to save is awesome, and despite what greedRx says, I wasn't being nasty (or at least, wasn't meaning to). just sayin' yr condition did not seem to apply to what afterthefact is looking for.

Okay.

omifuck, she's a weeaboo/wapanese??

that's fucking DISGUSTING and definitely NOT OK(ay).

This is seriously the sweetest thing I've read on here for some time. Adam, I hope she loves you back as much as you obviously love her.

what melly means is "oh, you sappy sucka!" :D

what i mean is.

grow a pair.



no i'm kidding. ifyou want to buy me shit yr more than welcome.

What Melly means is, "Buy me something" :p ...aaaand so on.

I'm buying who what something now already?!?! I was going to buy !@#$%!, but he'as a horrible man and made me cry, so he ain't gettin' nuffink. I'm, going to buy Cantankers something or the other, cos a) I feel like it, and b) to piss !@#$%! off, hee hee hee :p ;)

She's a cosplayer!

I should note that she's won awards and prizes and shit from making costumes.

I'm just ball-busting.

no need to defend her.

I'm sure she's good at what she does, you fucking closet furrie.

:)

lolllllllllllllllllll



you're financing this.

Weeaboo.
Ugh.

hey, hey-- my days as a kept man are over. so i dont need anyone to buy me things (anymore). but you still owe me a pint-- and i'm collecting-- a deal is a deal, maaaaaaaaaaaaannn.

ps- cankers should buy you shit. she's loaded!

$100 says he's played Mario Princess Pipe Explorer before.

if that bitch has that much money you think she could spend it on a decent hairstyle.

oh wait.

it's all in ones.

poser.

Well, I'll happily buy you a pint, if you can get over to Lahndahn or if we can meet in the USA (like, uh, in New York).

Due to a what some would say rather rash decision on my part, I seem to have found myself promising to buy C approximately 150 drinks if and when we meet up. No Cantankers gifts for Melly!

the things we do when plastered!

i was doing tae kwon do demonstrations this past weekend-- i had to be restrained before kicking down a wall-- ayayay...

!@#$%! - You have to have a photo taken of you "correcting" a wall. That would be awesome to the max.

i might have smashed the cameras of the paparazzi, but i'll see what i can do...

imagining you drunk ninja-kicking a wall is very humourous.

ninja is japanes

tae kwon do is korean

i kicked these fucking beams and they shook like a mother. if it had been a wall itself, a hole would have occurred.

other fun shit happened, but memories are fuzzy like a bad tv.

whatever. they're all yellow.

!@#$%! - Pardon my ignorance on this one, but what disciplines do Tae Kwan Do involve.

And to those who want me to get back on topic - why of course, here's a big money video for you all:
