Zhentar posted:They're so good at squirreling away $1000+ every month, they've got a whole $1700 in their savings account! Yeah, I think that's their "if we stuck precisely to our budget, this is how much in savings we would have" amount. I bet at the end of every month, they pretty much break even. I don't understand how if you really could save $1000 a month, you wouldn't just pay off little piddly ant debts of $114 at 26.99% interest?

Tony Montana posted:Someone was telling me when they worked in France everyone had lunch out, everyday, together. Like get a long table at the local and it's a family style lunch everyday. In France, most companies give their workers a lunch allowance or lunch voucher. It's considered a right in France and a boon to the local restaurants so no French worker would even dream of having to bring his lunch.

TLG James posted:I don't even know where to start with that. I don't even know what half those places are. Fingerhut, Gettington, 7th avenue? Fingerhut has been around forever (since the 50s) and theie schtick has always been installment payments on cheap crappy overpriced poo poo designed to trap poor saps who are lovely at math. Literally all their stuff is advertised (now online, they used to send out paper catalogs) as only $x.xx per month! This guy is like the poster child of poor uneducated Americans and why we need usury laws.

Tora! Tora! Tora! posted:This guy is like the poster child of poor uneducated Americans I changed my mind, based on the uncovered post history this guy totally deserves it. I love how he boasts about being smart enough to outwit the man when he's actually voluntarily enslaved himself for some plastic trinkets and cheap clothes. I bet their place looks like Floppy Dingo's.

silvergoose posted:Well I'm just saying we are like locusts with free food. Yeah, why are we like that? I'm always embarrassed that the admin staff is so much more generous but it's such a compulsion. Bad with money/general office gripe: my office likes to have potlucks every month which is way too often; quarterly would be just fine tho'. I don't cook so it costs my like $20 to get something big enough and takes like an hour where I'd otherwise spend 30 min at my desk eating a $5 sandwich. But if I don't participate I look like a anti-social weirdo and I can probably kiss any chance of a promotion goodbye. And I keep forgetting to bring something but then everyone guilts me into attending anyway so I look like like a stingy anti-social weirdo.
