ITT: Stories about having money.

I buy Subway every day for lunch, it's more expensive than packing a lunch but I don't care because I'm not poor.

>Have discussions about income and bills with coworker.
>Tell him if I ever made a lot of money I'd probably still eat at cheap fast food places and hoard most of my paychecks because I'm too stingy to buy "affluent" "upscale meals" and frivolous spending.
>He tells me that'll likely never happen because all money is relative; the more you make, the higher the chances are you'll increase your spending and upgrade/splurge on various things.
>Fast forward ten years, now making almost $75K a year.
>He was absolutely right. I go out with friends and coworkers to upscale restaurants and buy a lot more shit from Amazon than I ever thought I would.

Is this what they call consumerism? Is this mostly an American thing?

I just ate three lobster tails for dinner, and I would never go to subway, that food is fucking disgusting.
Actually, 99% of restaurants are disgusting. I only go out of respect for guests. Homemade grilled lobster with French onion soup, can't be beat. I get to eat exactly what I want, when I want, and tastes better too. Here's a tip: carmalize the fuck out of onions, literally makes anything you put them on edible.

Its a global thing, the hard bit will be if you ever end up poor again, just be glad you'll still be spending less than born middle class co-workers.

Caramelized onions are tasty but I wouldn't put it in coffee ergo you are wrong.

Human beings are never content. It's a survival mechanism from our hunter-gatherer days.

You can be cheap, but frankly, you only live once. Enjoy life while you can.

I'm American and I still don't spend any of my money despite making money now. Only thing I spend money on is friends and family. I just don't care about buying myself stuff. Entertainment is absurdly cheap.

I was never poor though so I guess I don't feel that need to splurge. However the more important factor is that I simply don't get pleasure from spending more at high end restaurants or having the latest fashion or car or whatever. So I know I'm not saving money because it's a choice and a test of my will, it's simply because I have little I care to spend it on. I'm easily contented.

Sort prices high to low on most websites. Also on restaurant menus, start at the most expensive items.

Downloaded Amazon purchase history. I was spending about $300/month for over two years.

Regularly would spend $80 on dinner for myself alone, because I'm a loser. App, entree, dessert, wine.

I quit that job though because I was miserable and moved into my truck to ski/rock climb. Now I eat a lot of McDonalds and Soylent.

It had too much lead in it. and was banned in California for a while.
Soylent also contains xenoestrogens which turn you into a fairy.

Fun fact: lead was used as a sweetener only available to the nobility during medieval times. It's supposed to taste pretty good.

Now that you have money maybe you should focus on getting some taste?
