Champphilly congratulations on the Argentina victory!
I think there are a few Argentine fans who may have had heart attacks after your post!
As long as nobody notices when you posted this discussion - it’s all good.

Rick makes an important distinction regarding how far money will go. Some areas are true black holes of taxation. Living in a liberal state and in a liberal county - in NJ - I know the pain of a tax burden on a state and county level. Add in the fact that I sent my kids to private schools - and the tax expense provides little benefit.
I think NiceSpice is correct about folks wanting prestigious cars. Although, in my area folks don’t blink an eye when they see a nice Mercedes or a BMW. I believe owning an expensive car - before owning a home, is a mistake. In my view, a person should own an inexpensive car and they should seek to buy the nicest house (in a good community). That way you spend less on a depreciable vehicle - and you have more invested in an appreciable home.,
I think folks come out of college with student loans, and then add to their debt with an expensive car purchase. They struggle to cover the cost of car payments, and they struggle more when they realize the service costs of an expensive car. The student loan payments add to their financial troubles, and they can barely make rent. This kills any ability to save money. When these folks finally get solvent enough to save, they don’t have that long of a time horizon, and they end up having to gamble on stock purchases, and they can easily get hurt and lose a lot.

Regardless of the location or question the OP is still a troll.
This is another BTE troll discussion intended to kill the usefulness of this site.

R Kelly - Thoi Thong
I’m guessing it isn’t getting played much anymore - but it’s a very identifiable start to a song.

The opening riff of Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N Roses is pretty iconic.

If it’s just bands - I’m going with…
Queen
Wham
Air Supply
Also - the Butthole Surfers were pretty good too! I once had a chat with the drummer while taking a piss at a club they were playing.
You have to give G G Allin special mention for commitment to his art!

This stuff is crazy.
In all honesty, CJ Kent is too much involved in some bizarre conspiracy to understand the obvious truth regarding Americans.
The fact is most Americans don’t want to have a budget. They have a sense of entitlement and a desire to consume beyond their means.
When one has an income of $100,000 they have a decent income to live nicely in most parts of the country. They simply must make an effort to not spend beyond their means. This has nothing to do with government.

If you want a laugh - look up the definition of Jersey Turnpike on Urban Dictionary. I didn’t expect to see a reference to Brian Scalabrini!

Twentyfive is entirely correct about not needing a car in Manhattan. In most cases, having a car is more of a nuisance (when living In Manhattan).
The public transportation system takes you everywhere you need to go. If you are leaving the city - you can use a zip car for a few days.
To street park In Manhattan is a pain in the ass - as you need to move the car and find another legal spot. If you use a garage - you will pay a lot of money for it.
Depending on where you work, if you are in one of the boroughs, you might be able to exist without a vehicle.
When I was a kid, there was a freedom associated with a drivers license - and driving. It’s likely no longer viewed that way. There is less need to drive.
There is still the necessity of having a license, but driving may not be such an urgent need. The odd part might occur in a few years when there are very inexperienced 30 somethings driving their kids to school.

Lol! I can guess where CrushingIt’s hands have been, so I will avoid any handshakes (especially a strip club handshake).

As I read the article I kept asking “why?” - why do you feel a need to do these things? Why make a pizza in a bathroom and use medicine bottles - and spices to cover up the smell of ass? - then I saw the guy making the pizza - and it all made sense!
That guys immune system must be exhausted!
I can only imaging the testing process - until he got the right mix of spices to cover up the smell of ass and the taste of fecal matter!
Are those black olives - or dingleberries?

Tetradon is correct. When you treat investing like gambling, you encounter a gambling outcome.

I’m surprised that folks can’t save when making )100,000 a year. My guess is that those folks have either gotten into debt and won’t budget - or they simply don’t budget at all. There are many places in America where a $100,000 salary provides a very good standard of living. If a person has a reasonable budget, they can live nicely in many parts of this country.
There are many folks who get in debt during college. This is not only student loans, but they get credit cards and make minimum payments, and run up a big tab. That’s foolish, and it’s not disciplined. That stuff leads to an adult who can’t understand how to allocate their earnings towards basic monthly bill payment. Sadly, those folks never think about opening a 401k or IRA - then they reach their 40’s and 50’s with no retirement savings (and no pension).
In my view, financial literacy is a good skill and it should be part of the basic high school curriculum. It might start off with a simple understanding of a paycheck - to show what a salary becomes after taxes. They can also explain credit and credit cards - and the costs of making those frivolous purchases. Investments and the benefits of 401k accounts could be very helpful too.

Its fucked up - what they did - but it makes sense.
Some people are heavily influenced by social media. These guys used social media to inflate stock prices and then they dumped their holdings. It’s like the way the Kardashians use their influence to sell lots of shit. They are the ones who profit - while their followers just spend more of their money.

This isn’t a club ad - it’s a positive review - and it covers a good amount of the club details.
It is a good description and it makes me want to take a ride to Paterson.

^ I haven’t encountered this yet. I’ve been to a few swingers parties in NJ, and they were pretty strict (regarding the men they would allow in).
I understand how it could easily occur, as couples and single women are usually more desirable groups to attend these parties.
