I guess you could have told him that after making a couple of
your trades that he could afford Starbucks and a membership for a
year.....
Yeah one of my coworkers was giving me a hard time because i go
there every day as my splurge, fortunately i only drink coffee
which has no calories otherwise i would weigh 500 lbs....anyway i
asked him what car he drove and he said he had a brand new cadillac
top of the line....and i said the same thing, seriously?
another story on Starbucks then we'll get back to trading stuff
- I think it was one of my friend's coworkers was having some
personal financial problems, and she was told to do a budget to
write everything down she spent money on for a few weeks, and one
of the things that showed up was that she was spending like $300 -
$400 a month at Starbucks! So clearly she had to cut that way
back as she didn't make much anyway. Anyway - people don't
realize sometimes the crazy amount of money the spend on things
until they actually write it down
In reference to your Starbucks post and budget,too many people
don't seems to realize how much money they really spend, and this
is probably caused by the fact that they use credit cards to pay
instead of a cash transaction. Spend a $100 in bills of $20 in your
hands do feels different than swiping a card, plus having to
physically go to the ATM to withdraw money makes you realize how
fast you spend it ;) This also goes with politicians ;) ...
now that the everyone on TV is in the hundreds of millions or
Billions, many don't even seems to realize what's really a million
dollar and talk about it like it's pocket change!
Ha! Good one!
