money is a fucked up thing
    #5937150 - 08/06/06 02:11 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

so when i first started working i was making like 5.25 an hour... my manager was pulling in a hefty 7 an hour...i thouht "holy fuck how awesome would it be it make 7 an hour, i will be set!! then i get a job at best buy making like 7.50 and im broke dreaming about the 10 an hour my deparment senior was pulling in. i would just think "oh man id be loaded if i could make 10 whole dollars an hour". then i get a job with gateway and i get my 10, im still broke. then i get a job eventually for 13.50, which i couldnt even have imagined making when i was 16. so then im thinkging if i could just make 30,000 a year, that would be awesome i could buy everything i wanted. now im doing even better than that and its still not enough. there is just more and more shit i want to buy. ive been sucked right in to the buy buy buy consumer mentality. i wonder if u can ever have enough?? i mean i know my managers make double what i do, well into 6-figures a year... i still hear them complain they want more cash, and these are guys who all have huge $500k houses, multiple cars, families etc....i wonder what the point it where you just are happy, u just stop needing and wanting more... does that point even exist?

Nah, cause if you have enough money to buy everything you want, then you want to start controlling people and what not.....It's human nature to want mor ethan you have, no matter how much you have.

its a little thing calle dbudgeting your money. like for example i could go buy a lot of things right now, but i dont. i save and save and then when i want something i save towards it.

its real easy to budget your money once you get used to it, its just the first month or two thats hard. just take your paycheck minus bill then determine how much you want to save and how much you are willing to spend. then once you have determined that amount tell your bank to auto-draft the "save" amout into a savings account that you cant easily access (by that i mean you would actually have to go to the bank to get the money). if you ever get into a bind and need the money you can just head to the bank, im telling you its only a month of trying and then it becomes the way you live, kinda like reversing the thing you are talking about.

Fuck money. It's the source of all my misery, and my happiness. I hate it and love it at the same time. You need it to live though, and you need it to live happily, unless you know how to live off the Earth, which I don't.

The trick is learning to live below your means. I have an uncle who's great at that. If you went to his house, you'd think he was on welfare. But he's actually got a bunch of money that he just chooses not to spend.

My mom dated a guy like that once, he made like $30/hr at GM doing welding, he
invited us out for a picnic at hard labor creek (old prison) and when he got to
our house he started raiding our fridge for the picnic food, he slept on an old
matress on the floor, in a ratty house he paid $250/month for (avg in that area
was $400) and fed his daughters boxed Mac&Cheese and canned soups, he did buy
a piano because my mother had one, no one in his house could even play

I invited the girls over to our house for dinner once, they practicly moved in
because mom wouldnt let them go hungry, even after mom dumped the guy

Ever since I threw my money in the garbage on a mushroom trip, it hasn't had the same appeal to me. It gets me a place to live, a vehicle to move me around, food and drugs, but I don't lust after it. Consumers kind of freak me out a little. The other day I saw this 10-foot high f-650 pulling a traqiler with chrome wheels carrying a big, 200-grand-looking boat. I just didn't 'get' it. Maybe he had a small penis.
