Guac and queso if you make over $450k

[Anonymous]

The person who can’t drive 2 miles to save $30 is making fun of the wealthy one?

Now that’s rich.

1. “Need”

2 “overthink”

What does that mean?

She is overthinking. Overthinking is not productive.

Your employees aren't spoiled kids.

But wonder if they'd prefer cash bonus instead

A kid saying yes when asked if they want a vegetable with their lunch, or asking for a smaller portion is not a spoiled kid.

Guac is not an extra vegetable. Sure it has veggies in it, but you’re making it sound like Oliver Twist is at home asking for spinach and mom says no. It’s an over priced dip when out to eat. It may have great health benefits, but kids can eat the 5 avocados I got from Lidl this morning for the same pricr.

So why are you taking them out to eat at all! Why didn’t you buy some chicken, rice, beans, and tortillas at Lidl this morning? You made an entire trip just for avocados? Seems like a waste of money AND time…

Where was this said? Stop making facts up to fit your narrative?

She said she didn’t want to buy the guac because she just bought avocados at Lidl that morning. PP was pointing out that this argument can be used against ever going out to eat at all. She just went grocery shopping apparently- so why are they out to eat?

Please stop the ridiculousness. People were stupidly saying “I am not going to deny my kids vegetables!” That’s like saying:

“ I’m going to get gas when I need it!”

“I’m going to buy a water bottle whenever I want it!”

Get gas but get it cheaper with about 3 seconds of effort. Fill a reusable water bottle at home.

And kids with parents who don’t frivolously spend still get avocados! Maybe not a scoopful once every 3 weeks for $3, but 5 days/week for the same price.

What? Who doesn’t get gas when they need it? Are you stupid?

Nice…

It was related to someone above, who said that when they need gas, they go to whatever gas station without looking at what gas stations in the same area are significantly cheaper. Within a .2 mile radius, the price can vary by .75/gallon. It’s dumb to not check prices.

How many gas stations do you have in a .2 mile radius?! Sorry, we don’t all live by the airport.

My Waze app shows a station that is $2.79 and another one that is $3.80, within 1.2 miles. I assume you drive your vehicle and pass places with gas stations away from your rural home…

It is this obstinate refusal to see how this one simple change can save you money, which waters down everything you say.

You already had to increase your ridiculous estimate by 600% when called out, ma’am. I fill up my 15 gallon gas tank once every two to three weeks. I’m not driving 2 miles out of my way (roundtrip) to save $30 a month. It’s not that big a deal.

I bet if you look while you're out, you don't even need to drive out of your way at all. But this is the mindset that was discussed earlier in this thread. Either these things are important to you or they aren't. To me, it's ridiculous that someone won't drive 2 miles out of their way (worst case scenerio) round trip every 2-3 weeks to save $30/month. You don't think it is a big deal.

Right. And it’s not important to me. Which is what I said before you numbskulls started arguing for some weirdo reason.

At a certain income, $30 a month is in the noise. Tell me about your home size and location, what kind of car you drive, how long your commute is, your budget for your kids’ college, etc. before you want to discuss wasteful mindsets

Sure:

Commute is zero (retired by mid 40s)

I have many homes (3 are rented out, 2 are vacation properties, and 2 are homes that we spend more than just vacation periods of time in). They vary in size.

We have 7 vehicles, all are similar to Tahoes or Highlanders.

Kids go to colleges that are $100k a year each. No aid provided, obviously. We have about $560k in each 529 but have decided to pay cash for their education and the 529s are saved for future generations.

Jeff can verify that I have posted some of these facts before- all are true.

And he could also verify that I look to save money when possible. My guess is I have more money than almost everyone I know in real life…but I still think you’re dumb for willfully paying more for something like gas, a water bottle, etc unless there are no other options.

Your turn…how much you have in all those categories where you think any amount of money is “in the noise” because you can’t be bothered to drive 4 total minutes for a $30 savings.

I like experiences (travel, shows, excursions, luxury travel, etc.) That’s something I will very happily pay for.

Hahaha!!!! OMG thank you, this is the most hilarious “flex” I’ve ever read!!! Who the f—k needs seven cars and three houses?! How embarrassing.

Is that your answer to the questions:

home size and location, what kind of car you drive, how long your commute is, your budget for your kids’ college?

- to answer your newest: no one needs those things.

Different poster. Why on earth would you buy seven cars for yourself and then tell other people that it’s not okay for them to buy their children guacamole?

You are being extremely wasteful and ridiculous with your money.

There is usually one gas station by the airport and it’s overpriced bc they have a captive audience of people returning rental cars

Whatever. I spent $30 to have an extra 15-20 minutes to do something else.
You spent 10,000 times that amount in order to have six cars that are literally useless.

I am right!!

It’s fine for you to have extra cars because it’s more convenient, and it’s fine for the previous poster to use the most convenient gas station, and it’s fine to put guac on your burrito if you like it!!!

But yes, if one of these things (the gas, the guac, or the extra cars) is crazy, it’s absolutely the extra cars. No question.

Yes, the person who understands why the phrase “penny wise, pound foolish” exists is making fun of the profligate spender, environmental menace getting her panties in a twist about getting the cheapest gas for one of her seven urban assault vehicles.

Sounds like Ms. FancyPants has an actual mental illness. I hope she finds the cheapest therapist within a 1.2 mile radius of one of her multiple homes

home size and location, what kind of car you drive, how long your commute is, your budget for your kids’ college?

- to answer your newest: no one needs those things.

Different poster. Why on earth would you buy seven cars for yourself and then tell other people that it’s not okay for them to buy their children guacamole?

You are being extremely wasteful and ridiculous with your money.

Because we have many homes. So we fly to home x and then have vehicles there to use. Somehow this makes sense to us- but wow, maybe you’re right!!!

And do you have guacamole waiting for you at home x there to use?

No, they drive around to all of the grocery stores in the town to find the cheapest avocados.

Now that’s rich.

Yes, the person who understands why the phrase “penny wise, pound foolish” exists is making fun of the profligate spender, environmental menace getting her panties in a twist about getting the cheapest gas for one of her seven urban assault vehicles.

Sounds like Ms. FancyPants has an actual mental illness. I hope she finds the cheapest therapist within a 1.2 mile radius of one of her multiple homes

At the end of a month, one person who invested in assets, has assets. The one who saved money on gas and guac has more money for assets.

Whatever. I spent $30 to have an extra 15-20 minutes to do something else.
You spent 10,000 times that amount in order to have six cars that are literally useless.

Where does it take 15-20 min to drive 2 miles? Unless you’re Amish…

Oh, do please tell us the bedtime story of how you amassed an eight figure fortune by foregoing avocados (whether on toast or in a burrito) and buying your gas at Costco! It should be a hoot!

Yes. Where exactly...I mean I imagine you're not running out for gas down 123 at 8:05 a.m. towards Tysons.
