yeah I eat ass

only people who enjoy my posting can replace this avatar
I spent roughly 3000 dollars over a few years on Maplestory back when I still played it. Also probably double (or more) of that on online poker. Also several hundred on the latest call of duty.

Other than that though I'm pretty good with money.

e: the maplestory and poker money was student loan money

Note that I took what I was given and built off that. I feel sorry for all the leftist turdwaste that have parents who would rather suck the dole and blame everything on peeps like me and wall street, but go vote for the fuckrocrat that marginalizes them to create a voter base.

Anyone with an ability to post a comment in this thread is bad with money because they spent $10 on a forum account

Myself included but I've come to terms with the fact that I'm bad at everything

Gonna buy an avatar once I panhandle enough coins or sell enough stolen copper to afford it, could take weeks cause I'm bad at both of those things too

I never said I was a role model
Not really. I hate cooking if it's just for me and could probably save money by not ordering take out so often. Then again, when I buy groceries that involve cooking I tend to get lazy and not eat so I end up wasting money that way. I also tend to be a grazer because I have issues eating larger quantities of food in one sitting so I have very little motivation there either.

I am also very forgetful in general and I suck at remembering to pay bills. Automatic billing is a godsend for someone like me. My ideal kind of lifetime partner would be the kind of person with whom I could give a lump portion of my income and he would take care of the actual process of paying our bills on time.

When I make a better income I am usually significantly better with saving money, although I could be better with smaller impulse purchases sometimes.

As a parent, if giving my son 'a good bump' means my kid has even a minuscule chance of turning into a word-salad-spewing LOLBOOTSTRAP nitwit like yourself, he's gonna have to row his own boat.

I'm pretty good with it tbh, whenever I pay with credit cards I flip the card out really quickly and then make a swoosh with my arm and then do the pin code in like 600ms like a ninja and the cashier always looks at me like 'wow, this person is special'

Credit cards don't have a pin.

In regards to Op, I've racked up a cool 3 thousand in debt without any income. I should have it paid in a month or two without a change to lifestyle so I'd say I'm doing well.

I guess I should start some actual financial planning but having no kids and no debt it's hard to care about that poo poo and I kinda think I would rather work less and play more now while I am still young and healthy and save full time work for when I am old and want to sit in an air conditioned office all day.

It looks like a source of common-sense financial advice, but a big chunk of the articles have him openly bragging about how superior he is to anyone even slightly less frugal than him, even if they're living well within their means.

Reluctant to move to walking/biking distance of where you work? Bad with money.

Have any hobbies which involve an internal combustion engine? Bad with money.

Have a dog? Bad with money.

Use a clothes dryer instead of hanging up your laundry to dry? Bad with money.


Except that he has a kid, which, even if you're as frugal as he is, is more expensive than any of the above.

You didnt even mention that stuff about dental costs for his daughter.
