we are temporarily unemployed. I didn't say we were "hard up". But we are saving money where we can. And what my parents choose to do with their investments (because thats what it is, a secure investment), ie buying a house next year, is their choice.

sure, they COULD spend $5 on an apple. they could pay an ass load for items when they don't have to. Its incredibly intelligent to waste money. They aren't buying me a house just to buy me a house. They are doing it as a secure way to diversify their finances and investments. Rather than throw all of their nest eggs into one thing, ie the stock market, they choose to do the smart thing and diversify. Property and real estate are one of the most secure investments right now. Also, I will be buying the house from them, paying a mortgage to them. My credit isn't great, so it does help me out with owning my own home.

I never said we were hard up. We aren't. But we did go from where EVERYONE (all four of us) were working to where just one of us, my dad is. I should be working here again, hopefully, soon. My mom has additional income lined up until she starts a teaching job in August. My borther, well....he jsut wants to play video games all day, but he's 18, go figure. We aren't hard up, but we are trying to be smart with our money.

No, you are apparently wrong. Girlgun is allowed to tell you how to spend your money. She will be over at 3:30 today to take a look at your income and expenses and will work up a budget that should fit your needs, while still making sure that you buy expensive groceries.

[NaiveMelody]

heeheehee.

[girlgun]

if you guys are going to get all technical and take stuff so literally beyond the tiny point i was making... then let's talk about that goddamn 5 dollar apple. who sells 5 dollar apples? are they big enough that your whole family could share one for dinner?

[afterthefact]

Ok, you want to change the dollar price on the apple? Does $3 fit you better? And is she now allowed to buy a house?

Please, explain the point you claim to be making, because it obivously did not come across the way you hoped.

[greedrex]

bahaha
I am on Girlgun's side.
he he

[girlgun]

apples don't cost 3 fucking dollars.

i guess i was just initially annoyed by her comments... our house is so HUGE, my parents are buying me a house too.. blah blah.... and now she's bitching about apple prices. just seems silly. and now i'm annoyed by having to explain this for the 40th time. can't a girl just make a snarky comment?

[NaiveMelody]

hmm, where did I ever say anything about the size of our house? And I wasn't bitching about apple prices. That was actually brought up by someone else. Make all the snarky comments you want, just make sure they are supported.

[floatingslowly]

this type of thread is the exact reason why I choose to post only idiocy.

fire with fire, and all that.

o, the fucking tedium.

[NaiveMelody]

I think it's interesting how I seem to be the target of everyone's hatred on this board. I will defend myself when necessary, but I would hate to just attack someone for something so silly. To each their own I suppose.

Girlgun, I hope you have a fantastic day. Really.

[girlgun]

well i only post silly stories mostly. if you're going to share all the petty details of your life, people will remember them. people will talk shit. that's how this works. okay really. see ya in a sec, alpha male.

Thanks, I didn't remember posting that, but you're right. I apologize.

[afterthefact]

Well it's no shocker that you are on Girlgun's side Greedrex, as she is already a residential cool girl on this board, so I would expect you to be.

All I am saying is that (completely regardless of apple prices) you came out and pretty much said that she shouldn't be buying a house if she wasn't willing to pay more for her groceries. That's just stupid.

ANYWAYS....

[demonrail666]

I love it when a minor point gets stretched into two pages of misunderstanding.

I'm with floating on this one, let idiocy reign. It's just easier.

[NaiveMelody]

Yeah, I'm pretty much done with this, its just getting silly.

don't martyrize yrself just yet.

however, if you feel the need to analyze it further, I would suggest starting with yr proclivity toward thread making.

note: I'm not suggesting that you post any more or any less. just sayin'.

Haha, that's just kind of funny to me

If you may have noticed, my thread making has slowed down.
