Be like Asmon, rich in your bank account but poor in hair.
he's like scrooge mcduck, keeps every cent he makes in a money bin somewhere
For every dollar in bank he loses one string of hair.

Rich people stay rich by pretending to be broke, and poor people stay poor by pretending to be rich.
not true at all but sure
farming reactions from copy pasta, how insightful.
And u came up with that by yourself..good boy😁
@@wiltheavatar I spot a great pretender
@@wiltheavatar It's 100% true. People that complain about being broke all the time are the same ones buying 500 dollar designer sneakers and wristwatches they absolutely don't need or buying a new 85'000 dollar car instead of buying a used 12'000 dollar used car just for bragging rights because they're insecure.
Buying things we don't need, with money we don't have in order to impress people we don't like.
Ok Stalin
george is that you? 😂

I love that movie.
"I just spent 10-15000 on this hobby and I started playing ten months ago."

@@jimmyngo2191 If you buy new from the store then yes.
I basically got my army for free this year by buying second hand in bulk and selling back singles I didn't need.
@@jimmyngo2191 I'm sure they are talking about having some 'extra' units to shuffle their army around. The time to paint it, and the terrain. I've seen people with 4 tables with full terrain on those tables...
@@peternash7104yeah it’s why I don’t buy terrain from GW only from other terrain sellers
I used to play from like 2004-9 and strangely that was when it was economically accessible, with those amazing snapfit starter boxs were so good and then like last year i came back to it for the model/painting and the price was ridiculous, like im in europe were it's probably cheapest to buy, but some of the us retail prices are insane.
brands like Gucci aren't really what actually wealthy people use... they're aimed at people who want to pretend to be rich
Poor people buy materials to make their own clothes, "rich" people buy brand clothes, rich people pay poor people to make them clothes.
I tried to explain this to a German guy in another thread. He couldn't understand and insisted that these brands are only marketed to rich people.
I've grown up looking for the best quality at the lowest price. No brands.
Tbh that's not really true, there is a lot of rich people that use the more common designer brands, with that being said, its true that im the past decade, those brands have changed the marketing to apease the average young adult so they could flex
@@VladTepes-SaviorofEurope-mw4uy okay hypocrite
"you're bound to come across an influencer that seemingly has a better life than you"
If they had a better life they wouldn't be posting about it on instagram instead of coping
Trueeee
They be too busy living life
Thats why I don't go on social media like that. I see how weird these ppl look in real life, I'm sure they look great in the pictures they take but it's just not real
@@padarousou yeah it’s weird man.
I know a woman like that IRL who was GORGEOUS as a young woman. Now she looks good in pictures but terrible IRL through all the surgery she’s had. She’s in her thirties and looks like she’s in her fifties irl. It’s sad
This is what people need to understand about those who want to sell you the ultimate secret to making money.
Unless the secret is the very act of selling that 'secret' to gullible people, they would be busy using it instead.
Fun fact: A leased Lamborghini Aventador is about $6000/month.
Meaning if you prioritize for financial stuff to a single car, you can look rich. Thats how lots of “car-fluencers” get high end vehicles rather quickly.
Source is straight from my local NYC Ferrari dealer.
The other problem with the supercar influencer thing, is that there are a few but rare cases of someone getting a Lambo, making content, end up blowing up with millions of followers and then they actually become really rich. Stradman comes to mind.
But the followers believe they can one day do the same, that's why you got people leasing Lambo's. They end up going broke trying to portray the same thing but don't realize the success of someone like Stradman requires luck, timing, and an actual personality.
That's insanely expensive. You may not be "rich" by some definitions to afford that, but you're definitely making good money and most likely really bad at managing it.
Your local Ferrari dealer leases Lamborghinis ?
@@soapa4279reminds me of Mini Ladd and his Lambo
Who knows if he still pays his...
@@green_eggy Yes.
As a chauffeur who's worked as a driver for a rich person for a while, it's true, liability reasons. Also they don't dress to impress or care to impress anyone at all. They care about 1 thing their money can buy them. Comfort. If you see a rich person being driven around in a luxurious mercedes. It's not because that car is half a mil. It's because that thing is comfortable as hell, you can go full speed over speed bumps and hardly notice it. Stretched vehicles are comfortable to drive aswell, just a bit annoying to do tight corners with, but it's really comfortable even as the driver.
Also, never talk to them about money onless you are rich yourself, because they'll assume you want something from them. Just never bring it up, buy your own lunch/drinks when waiting, just never ask for anything (except your promised salary) and you just might get random bonus' and tips.
Same for famous people, don't talk about their fame, job or social status, just don't. If it still is a topic of frequent conversation, the person is usually not very likable/nice. If they never bring it up, it's probably a relief to them that you don't either. That's how my poor ass keeps getting reinvited to rockstar parties anyway
A rare but very welcome sane comment on this type of topic.
Sound perspective. Such insight can help even poor sods like us a lot.
The guy renting a fake airplane so that influencers can pretend they have a private jet is the modern version of "When there is a goldrush, sell shovels"

Buying cabin in the woods to block out the rest of the world sounds like the best kind of materialism
It is. People shit on cheap living in missouri but it's amazing. When you hear gun shots it's not because someone's getting murdered(usually). I can't see my neighbors house but we still look out for each other property.
I've lived all over the world, several counties, in cities and rural..and rural wins everytime. Step outside for instant therapy. The simple life is better.
I have 6 acres of property in the woods in Maine that I bought from my step-dad after my mom passed.
I used to hate it here growing up because it's so quiet and secluded - which is the exact reason I love it now. It's not a big house, it's not fancy, and it needs a lot of work. But it's mine, and no one is around to bother me.
@@kylerowland1227 Did that in a rental once. The baggage just falls off and it's like I'm a kid again. Money can't buy happiness my ass.
@@kylerowland1227 Tried moving back to Mo! couldn't close on a house tho :l
The only people that actually like living in the city are under 25.
The thing about all the private stuff like jets is that actual rich people have them to keep a low profile. People think that stealth wealth is a new trend, but rich people have been doing that forever.
Besides, if your flash _stealth wealth_ as such, is it still stealth?
Not even stealth, just having a special lane which most people will never enter so they can avoid traffic and scrutiny.
The irony is that the people who do quiet luxury now are only doing it to appear rich. They did all the flashy brands now someone told them that that's not how the rich dress so they dress that way now. People with money have always dressed according to the times, if it was beneficial to impress and dazzle then they would, if it could get you killed then they didn't. There are kings that wouldn't have been respected had they not dressed as what the public expected them to look like same on the other hand, there were king who lived and dressed in such opulence while the public was poor that the public revolted and killed the royals. And besides that throughout time there were always rich people who dressed more modest and others that didn't. Rich people aren't a monolith, what's funny is thinking they are and then changing yourself to what you think they are.
imagine buying handbags when you could be buying a fully customized and fitted fullplate armour
I was materialistic in high school and I cringe thinking about those days. These people actually have fully developed brains and are still this way though.
You're too optimistic about people's brains bruh
They can't help it. It's all they know
i personally love nice things such as a clean looking modern house, and a sports car, plus the freedom to travel whenever i love it
dude i am in my 30s and i have friends who live influencer-based lives but they dont even post to social media. they also complain that they'll never be able to retire. imo doing those two things when you're young isnt cringe. be young and stupid with your money. it starts getting sad when you have been working for 15 years and have no money because you spend it all on frivolous things and then complain about being broke
Fake it till you either make it, or more likely, declare bankruptcy.
Bullying some kid cause they didn't have a $40 cup is so stupid, wtf.
Peasants together strong.
Bullying a kid over a cup that the kid didn't even buy is stupid.
This shit always happens, in high school, I got Under Armor shoes but everyone will bully you for not having Nike. I thought UA was cool...
Yet the mom didn't swap her name brand cup for the kid's cup opting instead to buy another name brand cup for the child. I wonder where this stuff comes from.
@@Ruddline Most of the time their Nike is the $75 courts they want to think are Jordans.
You’re telling me influencers are soulless liars and pretenders? I knew that 15 years ago.
Shocking.
You need to find the right balance between dying with a bunch of money and spending every paycheck as soon as you get it.
If you can afford it, it's much better to save some for a rainy day and for retirement.
Also leaving investments and/or a home for your children or close friend/relatives.
If you don't spend it you can pass it on as generational wealth... its what actual rich people do
Influencers going broke acting like they aren't who they actually are?
fuck em.
Influencers going broke acting like they aren't who they actually are?
I am shocked! Shocked!...Well, not really.
It's entertaining to think about how the average influencer will do this and only a tiny percentage of people even follow them.
Too many people still associate more expensive with better quality which is essentially wrong in almost every market.
My dad taught me that sometimes the off brand stuff is better than the actual brand item.
@@brainrich1358it's usually not, though. Sometimes it's good enough but you probably don't have more than 2 objective examples of the off brand being better.
There are good brands, where you pay for quality and then there are "fashion brands".
Salomon shoes OBLITERATE Gucci or whatever fashion brand in quality (and for a lot less). Casio demolishes ANY "fashion" brand watch at any price point etc.
Generally a good rule is to buy X from a reputable X maker company. Not a company, which sells you a "lifestyle", instead of a great product for a fair price.
@@SirRivelionCasio? 😂😂😂😂 yeah right
Depends what it is though. Real forged wheels for racing cars are wildly more expensive, but are insanely strong. The same replica wheel will probably break in half when you hit an apex.
There's a "sweet spot" for most things. And you know a majority of the time a product is garbage when it's on Temu, Aliexpress, or Shein.
its the fake entrepreneurs that annoy me the most.
17:59 Can confirm: being fit, with shoulder definition, waist and chest/back muscles = nearly all shirts just sit so much better. Esp if they are small enough to be tight but not too tight, definatly makes me go from like an avarge 6 face to an 8 (general feedback I have gotten over the years).
I would have to say though, the quaility of the shirt is no longer in the price tag, but choice of material and stitching. So you can easily find a good low cost shirt that will last a while, and the muscles make it look good. I still suggest getting slim fit, as its not a good look for a guy with a blouse...
Asmon gets rich while making himself look poor
Completely opposite lol
There is a reason why most millionaires dress up modestly and don't make themselves stand out too much.
No, he lives by the means he wants to live by. He could hire maids to clean for him, buy a mansion.. but he doesn't because that's what he wants. A rich man with poor man habits. Nothing wrong with that though because that's how he's comfortable.
he always says he has enough. everything else is a bonus doing what he wants if he gets paid more. It's why i like the guy 🌇
@@brandonbeasley1825 nothing “wrong” with it, but I think he could definitely do with a couple… minor upgrades. Like, a nice toothbrush and maybe get someone to help him clean the mold and roaches out of his living space.
@@brandonbeasley1825 ''poor man habits''
poor man habits is living above your means. i.e, eternally in debt and broke.
As you get older vanity purchases will matter less and less to you and you'll get excited about shit like a new air fryer
So excited about the new box spring mattress that's coming...
Or a new vacuum lol

I remember as a kid all the 'cool' kids had trapper keepers, and the poor kids would just get a couple of those cheap $0.50 colored folders. When I finally got a trapper keeper that thing turned out to be a mess and was bulky as hell. I stuck with it for one school year, tossed it and never looked back. To this day, even with everything being digital, I still keep a bunch of those cheap folders on hand and they're damned useful.
There is a line between cheap stuff that is inconvenient because of bad quality and decent/good quality which will make it more comfortable , but you will have to pay more for it. When going into luxury, it goes back to inconvenient, Luxus items are a burden, it breaks down , is hard to repair and you will always try to never damage it
Old money vs new money. Old money will typically buy items that are expensive because of the high quality. Often brands you’d never heard of or custom stuff. New money buys the “luxury” brands that are like 95% marketing.
@@kielhawkins9529 And according to some statistics, the luxury industry as a whole lives off the poor and middle class. The actual rich have their own separate market sector supplying them, brands with no brand visible, bespoke tailors and so forth
@@kielhawkins9529Yep. Old money people rewear clothes because having the piece itself matters more. New money follows the wasteful Kardashian model of expensive sht that has one use tops before getting accumulated for the dustbin. Most of it won't even get resold. The only idiots who'll buy it are other people obsessed with proving they have wealth.
Never understood ppl who spend $80 on a t shirt that is made with the same material as a $10 solid color tee. Just a waste of money imo
@@padarousou truth. Until I found an $80 t shirt that was actually amazing. No clue what the brand was but that was my favorite t-shirt for ten years.
That’s when I realized there’s $80 tshirts that are quality, and $80 tshirts that are marketing. And the former is actually incredible.
I worked for a company where the prez told me they pretty much “timeshare” their private jet with 10 other companies. It’s a fraction of the cost.
Really not that uncommon for deals like that to exist between individuals or companies. Most companies do not have the need for a private jet every day of the year there usually isn’t daily jet trips unless your dealing with a billion dollar nation wide of international corporation. And private jets tend to be large investments that are hard to get your money back out of, so splitting the cost with other companies or individuals helps make the decision easier.
A key word of thumb is that the rich tend to figure out ways to get other people to spend their money on making them wealthier. Most rich people can afford to just start a new business, but they’ll usually still take on business partners and get loans and such when starting the business, because they would rather risk losing someone else’s money than their own.
@@mattkurek9259 Loans can be a good risk mitigation tool, but taking on partners is often also about getting buy in and strategic partnerships that will benefit the underlining business.
Caleb Hammer is awesome. If you ever feel bad about your finances, watch that channel and you'll quickly realize that you're not as big a fuck up as you think.

If you really like branded clothes, buy them off-season like buy summer cloth in the winter vice versa for the summer. You save a lot of money from off-season sales and end of line stuff.
Ayo! Why you wearing last year's drip? You dusty? You broke?
@@richardgibson2158 That was my first thought. Posers got a pose.
What's the point? Just buy comfy and casual clothes cheaper and more comfy.
and if you really REALLY need them, just buy reps. they usually come from the same factory anyways. in my case i have 2 pairs of the same black Crocs that's 1/8 of the price and i use it for hiking/camping/traveling/work.
My home town in the Scottish highlands is surrounded by private shooting/fishing estates and the like so I've seen a whole lot of the really wealthy. One of the richest permanent residents lived in a reasonable house (just 10 bedrooms) on the edge of town, he had a cook, a cleaner and an aide. If you saw him in the street however he looked like a older guy wearing patched/scuffed clothing and being extremely amiable like a nice grandpa (unless he also went past in his rolls royce blowing his cover). The truly rich buy what they need and get the most cost effective - they seldom care about image when it comes to their day to day lives. Oh and when the town wanted to make a local museum he immediately just bought them a nice building and gave them the deeds without any expectation of being lauded, indeed he even refused to have his name on the project. The majority of the wealthy I've interacted with are quite down to earth, its the wannabees that cause all the fuss.
Rich people buy things they find valuable, fake rich people buy things they think others will find valuable.
Wit part of the Highlands? Maybe send him down to Glasgow he can spread the wealth a bit cause it's a shite hole down here. Good to see some good guy rich folks still about I feel like if I was very wealthy I would do shit like that all the time just for the karma boost and feel good factor.
10 bedrooms is reasonable? not cooking not cleaning and someone to be wiping his ass too? rolls royce? so the only he thing he doesn't have is expensive clothing? and now he's different? so if he was walkng around in gucci you wouldn't have commented about him buying only the things that he needs
@@mickrobertson4871 Don't be so down on Glasgow. It is a cute little town and last time I was there everyone was so nice. If you want a shite hole go visit London or Chicago or LA or Vegas.
@@barongerhardtI think there are levels of shite hole cities. Places like London or LA are top tier shite.
For Gray knights you can get exactly 2000pts with enhancements and 3 combat patrol boxes the 3 boxes together cost $408. That doesn't include tools, glue, primer, and paint tho.
I don't have a stanley. I have a Yeti but basically the same thing. I can confirm $30 to $40 for a nice cup you will use all day, everyday is well worth it. Doesn't leave condensation on desk and don't have to get up to get more ice. Also have an Rtic brand one and works just as good.
That’s all my old high school classmates on instagram stories acting like they’re celebrities

The most expensive 40k army is admech at $1800 Canadian for a 2k army. Space marines are like $700-900 Canadian for a 2k army
I am humored by people focusing on materialistic things as a perception of value. You can look well off without spending a lot, or even anything at all.

lots of rappers rent their jewelry and cars too. thats sad
To be fair that means they have insurance and a lot of them only wear stuff for one single event like a premier, so it would be way more wasteful to buy it.
@@ghost-user559 I mean, it's their choice. To me, I own it or I don't. Renting? Hell no.
most rappers have a brain of a 13 year old, so why are we surprised. Most rap lyrics are about how much money they have or how many bishes they got. Also how being part of the gang and doing crime is considered cool, but in reality for most people that's stops being cool when you are like above 20
@@ghost-user559you are absolutely correct. Renting makes more sense in this case.
That’s smart, the stupid ones are the ones that buy it. I would definitely rent a car or some jewelry for a video and take it right back.
I can't imagine needing to "look" wealthy.
Makes no sense to me. I was taught not to flaunt your wealth it only causes problems and see this now I think it's becoming more and more true than it already was
I can imagine getting robbed because my vanity needed me to “look” wealthy.
Cause you aren't a raging narrassist
Seems self-explanatory to me. Influencers sell dreams, just like athletes. Most people dream about being wealthy.
Those people are weak and they need as much attention as they can get for what they're lacking. I honestly can't stand phony people.
That's what I've been thinking. All these instagram girls looking like they have millions of dollars posting videos in a big ass house or lavish vacation. I'm here wondering...Man, are they really that rich..?

Caleb hammer colab would be INSANE
He already did one with Amouranth, most viewers didn't want to hear about a person who has too much money
Real wealthy people know that the true purchases that matter are real estate and securities. Flashy clothes and extravagant public lifestyles don't earn money.
To be fair, that applies to the ones making money/actively handling their finances. Their spouses/lovers/sugar babies and children, on the other hand...
It doesn't seem like a hard choice when you think about it a little bit. You could have a million dollar home that cost $50k a year in property taxes or million in the market that pays you $50k a year in dividends and grows by $100k. Thank you, I will take the equities.

"It's so dumb to spend money on something that you have no need of." I was thinking while at the same time looking for guitar nr 134 and 135.
Yeah but at least they are functional. You can make income off of making music or playing sessions, and then if you had to they only ever increase in value. So that’s more like an actual investment than a simple hobby
You do need hobbies so that's fine.
it's a hobby for your enjoyment and not to impress people on the internet

At 15 50,bro,im dirt poor and those brands dont impress me,so you missed me with another shot
What impresses me in having alot of money is the fact that you either
a) live a slow life you always wanted without giving a damn
b) invest in a business of your own(whatever genre you might want to invest in)and succeed(cause success really means that you have brain behind the cash)
I like showing off my shoes to friends. I am extremely proud that I managed to find some shoes on discount for $2 that were basically my size.

I remember being 6 years old whining to my parents that I wanted some pokémon cards.
Then they bought a pokemon card-maker software and in an instant I realized how ridiculous my whining for those overpriced pieces of cardboard was.
But I wasn't done being an idiot just yet. Pogs, I need em'. Goggos, I want em'. Even marbles was something I had to have.

@@Francisco-Danconia It actually turned out to be hand-me-downs that gave me a sense of how this crap has been around for more years than I've lived.
Goggos? My older brother had enough for two full grocery bags in the basement. Pogs? Big sister had 4 or 5 tubes stacked with them from her elementary years. Marbles? My damn grandpa dug them out of his garage!
Somehow make a kid realize new things are old things in new packaging made me realize the futility of buying any of it - as I had to use my allowance to get anything if whining didn't work.
@@Thugblader92 lovely thank you for the explanation
That takes me back. The big thing that got me was amiibo. I went to GameStop so many times that I knew the exact price to the cent including tax. I must have spent $600-700+ over a few years. In the middle of that I started getting into Pokémon cards. I was oh no something else to take all my money. That didn't last long. $4 for one pack of pretty cardboard rectangles was a bit steep. Now I hate spending money on useless junk. I don't like having a bunch of things anymore. (no one sees the 1400+ marbles sitting on the self behind me. Those don't count lol)

Personally I just go for whats softest most comfortable. What i will say is if something costs 3 times as much but lasts 5 times is long is it worth it? Good example of this funnily enough is toilet seats. Toilet seats with a plastic hinge vs metal, metal hinge seats cost 3 or 4 times as much but last 10 plus years or more compared to the plastic hinge ones go once a year.
That mom taught her kid the wrong lesson.
Congrats, your kid will grow up to be completely shallow and not think for herself.
You should have taught her that she shouldn't care what other people think, she liked the cup, she should go with that SHE likes.
Disagree. That kid will probably not care in 10 years. It's just an immediate thing. I was never given anything like this and I was bullied to hell and now I feel it's made me worse lol. When a kid's young, their image matters more than when they're older so help them out a bit. This isn't a debate, there's no lifelong lesson here and stop trying to make it seem like there is.
@@alicerain8686 Everything you learn as a child is a lifelong lesson, whether you specifically recall it or not.
I don't think putting your own kid into "so now You will be all alone in classroom and all the girls will make fun of you until you graduade". What lesson would it be? To be depressed and insecure for the whole life? She can always show them "I have that one too buy I prefer this cute one" and they won't call her poor for the rest of the school
@@SaltyCatlingyou don't get over an insecurity by feeding it. This is not up for debate, this is a fact.
@@SaltyCatling The lesson is thinking for yourself, enjoying what you like and standing up for yourself. The lesson the daughter learned from this is spend money on brands to make everyone like you, follow the herd, and what you think looks good doesn't matter it's all about brands and $$$$.
Cut to 10 years later and she'll be on Caleb Hammer talking about how she's $100k in debt but HAS to buy a new burkin bag every month.
You see these people in the south of france,once we saw a girl in high heels boarding a yacht via the swimming platform to take a pic ,teak decks and high heels do not go together.The yacht staff held her until the gendarmerie came.
Bow Wow was on my Frontier flight in 2016 with his boys taking selfies with their shoe boxes. We were flying Denver to LA for $48.
In this day and age... perception is reality.
Doesn't matter if its for physical appearance, financial status, or experience... everyone's faking it until they make it (or until they crash and burn).
If you mean how you're perceived by others, then then that's a really shallow, sad, miserable state of existance, and a total b!tch move.
If you mean your perception determines your reality then yeah Reality is the Real manifested through the Symbolic in the Imaginary....
Edit: who is everyone? Break out of that Echo Chamber FFS
If you think everyone does that, it could simply be that you spend a bit too much time looking at the people who do online and/or have very shallow social circles.
@@9an13llooks is the most important aspect and by far
Take a look at asian beauty standards how is genetic not the first factor ?
And thats a worldwide thing
it seems like it because a lot of those people pop up on social media, but in reality they are like 0.01% of "everyone". Most of us are not doing it
I have grown up in a working class area here in England and moved out to a middle class area. Both sides have something in common and that is wanting to appear richer than what they really are while getting themselves in debt and not being able to afford the basic bills in their home and blaming the government (partly true) and the country for their life going down hill. The middle class might have a little bit more money but they also fall to the image of appearing rich and thinking they are closer in image to the upper class when the upper class see them just the same as the working class.
For me personally if my rent is paid and the food cupboards and fridge is full as well as the gas and electric then I’m very happy and I feel rich. If I can afford to treat myself (books or a game) at the end of those bills then it’s nice but doing that every month and wasting my money always left a sour taste in my mouth. I hate wasting money. I’d rather save it towards a nice trip with me and my husband somewhere or a nice dinner together. I’ve never been into the theme of looking rich despite many in my family acting like this.
When I was young my dad would laugh at my Head Teacher (back in Primary School) as she would shop in Lidl with a Mark's and Spencer bag 😂😂 For the type of person she was she deserved the ridicule.
I have never understood it. Even as a little kid, it has always felt nicer having money in my pocket. It has never been, "can I afford it?" It is, I could and I don't want it or care. Most people create their own financial stress. The basics are crazy cheap and everything else is stupid.
Class isn’t about money
I make a very good living. I am very comfortable.
I can point to 90% of my clothing & I'll just keep saying WINNERS, WINNERS, Winners, Winners, Winners. Most shirts are 30-50$, pants 40-70$, t-shirts 5-30$. Shoes up to 150$. Sun glasses 100$ Max but usually 50$.
Don't waste your money, there are gym memberships , video games & food to buy😊🎉
The classic Ret Paladin in Naxx BiS versus classic Fury Warrior in Pre-BiS analogy was spot on 😂 the Pre-BiS Warrior is still pulling the bigger Numbers
I'm sorry but as a woman... Louis Vuitton is the gaudiest eyesore and I cannot believe people would ever buy it. There's way classier luxury brands out there.
As a guy I agree. It's a major turn off for me.
Gucci is for the ballers
And I thought Warhammer was too much... My hobbies are apparently cheap in comparison, my Tyranid army doesn't even get to 500 usd...
How the fuck did you get a $500 Tyranid army in this day and age?
He already had a 3d printer maybe?
Buy/sell/trade pages are also a big help in saving a little money.
@@Mag_ladroth I've been collecting them bit by bit for a while... And I also go mostly for monsters.
With that kind of money, you could get a blowback airsoft rifle with a tracer unit that simulates muzzle flashes, and maybe some optics as well.
“buying an expensive thing won’t make you happy”
I bought a sportbike last year, and the happiness ROI has been amazing. I still feel that initial rush of excitement every time I ride it, it’s just not getting boring or stale. something like this is well worth those fat stacks if it brings you long-term happiness.
having a birkin bag or whatever definitely won’t do the same thing.
everything costs more in canada too, not just differing currency rates. I was using a vpn and clicked on an email, the $90 sale price headphones were $120 if it thought I was in canada.
lol imagine how many chatters were like 'imma go learn pickle ball now.'
see i had kids used to tell me im cheap for using a bic pen at school and they all had parker pens, funny thing is i used to sell there parker pens back to them after stealing them from them the day before lol.
I mean most businesses exist because of idiots buying their stuff. So, you're just playing game but you learned it early.
The most recent and probably most expensive brand purchase i made was a Beats headphone, and it was on discount. Not too long after i regretted the purchase as it was unnecessary, its just something ive always wanted since i was a kid. Its better to make choices with logic than with emotions.
But momma, I only like using my own paddle.
It's $25000 forest.
When I was on the all American ping pong team, I used my flex-o-light ping pong paddle.
Everybody knew it wasn't true, but momma said it was only a little lie so it didn't matter
I'm the poorest person I know whilst everyone around me is broke as fuck...
in this economy too, crazy.
You can buy "Fashion" cloth brands in certain countries for 5-10x smaller price. They are not fake but its just b-grade stuff that has minor fault. Some products they forgot to remove the original price tags and production country is totally wrong.
I live in one of those countries and this is true
It's funny how everyone has different goals in life. My ideal retirement is a small cottage on the water down in something like South Carolina that's close to golf courses in a small town.
the tennis dinosaur clip has me dying
what anime was that
Wow was happy to see Caleb making it big enough to get a Asmon reference. My life has improved significantly since starting to watch him last year
Apartment in a small town. Cheap living, quiet, air conditioned, no lawn work, next to no crime. As long as you don’t have loud neighbors, it’s a slice of heaven.
but i like the homeless threatening me on the subway or bus and shitting on my front step! its so urban!
Finding a job in a small town is difficult unless you're a tradesman
@@cokeweasel1064well now you have a reason to get into a trade
The only problems with apartments - where does my garden go?
@@cokeweasel1064 i grew up in a quiet small town, was only about 45 minutes to Chicago and had 0 of the Chicago issues. you dont need to live in the city to work there
This stuff is like the final things you spend on after accumulating resources, and slowly increasing living Standards.
I know where all those bags are made, I can get every one of them next to nothing just without band names on them. I even worked in a factory where we fill many different brands can with exact same thing and they all sold for very different prices, just based on name.
I love telling my friend about how broke I am.
I always come up with new material.
We all have a good laugh.
Lv bag was $1850
My mom must have spent 70k in just purses 🙄
Usually women are the biggest spenders of the economy either directly or indirectly (spousal money)
4:30 HOW does one spend so much on pickle ball? My poor neighbors got into it because you can spend like 20-30 bucks on a set of paddles and balls and youre set for life
A world eaters 2000 point army is around 700$ USD
This army includes 1:angron 1:combat patrol 2:exalted eight bound 1:defiler 1:forgefiend 1:mauperfiend 2:blood letters
Edit: it’s actually 760$ USD I only counted the exalted eight bound once
I would love to see Asmongold driving down the street in a Toyota Century with a pink pimp suit and hat with a feather in it.
Best news I've heard since the chopper crash

Bro the world is so small on the internet HAHAHA
22:00 They do the exact same thing in China where you can rent luxury items for cheap.
