Preach. Ball till we fall!
Yeah, I find that aspirational products become less appealing once you can afford them. When I was younger, I thought it would be great to have Porsche or something. Now that I can afford it, there is no longer a point.
The other thing that happened is that total financial independence is becoming a possibility. So with this in mind, saving money for investments becomes more of a priority as the goal gets closer.
On the other hand, I find that my spending on cheaper things - food especially - has increased dramatically, since even splurging on this tends to have no noticeable budget effect.
I’ve heard this pretty universally from people richer than me, not that I have too much of a penchant for those expenses as it is.
^Interesting explanation on the decline in frivolous consumption. Actually, probably your best insight since my moniker has been around. I wonder if we will reverse again when we hit our “number.”
And to add support, my brother is much richer, and dumber, than I am and spends like no tomorrow, but he plans to work until he slides into his grave beaten and broken yelling “what a ride!”
-ltj. pass or fail. lets do it anyway. AF hollers.
-ghibli. i am more like you than you know. i did ask him why he did it. #1. he is semi famous. (a co worker of mine randomly knew him,) #2. he prefers quality chicks. #3 like bs said he makes a ton of money so 12k is nothing. on the ride home. i heard him with his dad. he is getting a GTS mercedes which is like 130k. he invited me to go with him to pick it out wednesday. he doesnt even need the car. he has a GTR from last year which is anotehr 6 figure car.
-turd. i told him that pride is expensive. and he told me that he hates rejection. and i think the reason why he enjoys our company is cuz we are a pack of savages that literally have no pride whatsoever. and most of us are either wealthy or smart. and rofl i know most ppl here think im an idiot. but academically and in all my social circles im actually perceived as very smart and hard working. but ur all charterholders. so the bar is prolly much higher. haha
-ohai. financial independence is the only reason i save so much. i _ KNOW _ i need only 500k and i know i m good in the philippines forever. it is ridiculously cheap to ball out. 15k/year and you are a king there. and if you wanted to go back its very easy. lots of smart hot chicks. find a doctor. marry her. start a practice in the US. boom. now you are a stay at home dad. haha.
^You lost me on start a practice. License definitely does not transfer…
Incidentally, the reason I am saving is so I don’t have to return to Asia… but, yes, I understand that point of view. Most Asia Asians probably would choose to go home, in fact.
what the fuck am I reading? Also, never happened
^“Coming To America: Phillipines” Eddy Murphy is not in this one and the main character is not a prince.

Internet hi-5 for the DBZ shout out bro but dropping 9 grand in Vegas and the main story is a an Anglo chick who ground on you seems such a waste when you can drop one grand for a round trip to Koh Phagnan and the full moon party which is 70% Anglo-Western birds. They’re away from home, on the Thai islands and no one to watch what they’re doing. Your imagination isn’t even close to what actually goes on.
Rolled with a couple of French- Canadian dudes from some weird place called Three rivers or something, it was funny because they spoke pigeon English and when they told a couple of Irish girls they were Canadian they are like 'Why is your English so retarded?". Lol, Irish girls can be brutal. Long story short we go the jungle party a bit late cause the cab driver decided to go around the entire island picking up people and we arrive at 2 AM when everyone’s already paired up and leaving.
We are pissed off at this point and moi just decides fuck it, grabs nearest girl - Where you from? She - ♪Eireland, what about you?♪, Me - India, so dyu wanna make love?. She leans back and starts giggling, It’s on, 15 min small talk, kiss, make out, do you wanna go somewhere private?,seal deal.
Tons of North American birds too, they are there no where on the South East Asian trail apart from a few in Vietnam for some reason but they come out in force for the full moon.
Trust me and go, British girls, jaysus, even the rest of the Euro contingent were astounded by some of the things on display.
PS : Don’t try and keep up with the Irish ‘lads’. It’s a lost cause and you’ll just fall flat halfway through. Their lifestyle takes some work.
your money goes farther in Montreal. A wilder time can also be had.
#powerlevel<9000
Can I get powerlevel > 9000 at Koh Phagan?
Euro girls are prudes compared to the Brits.
The last stag do I went to I turned up at the airport and realised that there were at least 10 Irish lads there. that weekend was rough.
LADS! LADS! LADS!
