Thanks Ditch, all advice welcome, I suspect if we stay another year we might buy another car, actually planning to go to the shop this coming week end. But every time I pop in a luxury car store I want to move back to Europe...
Unless he happens to be very good looking, they'll only be average looking girls, and that gets boring pretty quick. Or I guess he could pay for some nice braces, if that's what you meant?!
There are services here in the U.S. that charge $100.00 -$200.00 to do a complete mechanical and driving inspection. Its been about 18 months since I bought my last car, but I think its like a 250 point checklist with closeup photos-- then I ship the car to myself. Its crazy but different makes go for different amounts in different places around the country in the preowned market. surf
Good looking chicks really don't care what you look like, you just need game. I know plenty of fat dudes with very attractive women. but they also get boring if they are not so bright. surf
Interesting hobby. My Dad was big time into that stuff back in the 70's for classical music, he still uses the same equipment today!
There is even evidence that savings increase happiness http://www.cheatsheet.com/stocks/is-saving-money-the-key-to-happiness.html/?a=viewall “The connection between the size of your savings account and your level of happiness may seem obvious. But here’s something that may surprise you: Saving money actually affects happiness more than how much you earn, according to our survey,” explained Ally Bank. Just one study but I read in other books that there is more evidence. I just don't have the time to dig it up right now
It makes sense that savings increase one's happiness. I don't think anyone here recommended spending blindly all of one's income, but rather to focus one's efforts towards increasing their income - which requires some investments/spending. One will be able to contemplate much higher savings with higher income It feels like another life but I still remember the Rich dad/poor dad book, it does come up with simple but sensible advice. One of them is to increase one's savings and passive income before spending big on luxury. But don't mistake careful personal management with beeing cheap, acting cheap is not the best ticket to a higher income, which is the best ticket to higher savings imo.
Although I don't think I actually can die Just incase in the off shot that I'm wrong and get squished by a bus tomorrow, I'm in the spend it while I've got it, getting / being rich later sounds great but if tomorrow never comes then wasted life. Plus my high score is based on various factors :- Woman I've slept with. Money I've spent. Money not spent at time of death ( this scores me negatively ) Fun I've had. Shite I've put up with ( NEGATIVE ) So don't want to blow my high score.
Reason for that is, good looking chicks normally think there ugly, as a fat bloke I take advantage of this illogic and have stopped ( doh! in my early days ) convincing them other wise as it always ended up in being dumped for a better looking man ( I guess ) Yes agreed on the boring if dumb, but the smarter they are also the more EVIL they generally are and devious, so has it's advantages. Best bet is to have a mixed selection to choose from, some stunners, some high IQ normals, enjoy them in different ways and when they go NUTS which they all do, hey you've got spares, DELETE and REPEAT!! Yes I'm a HARDCORE PLAYER
