Pages (9): « 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 8 9 »

i still borrow money from my mom lol

no but i definitely see your point. ever since i moved into my own place i'm like a damn jew when it comes to my money and finances. i'm kinda set in my ways and i like saving. i still splurge every now and then on clothes or whatever, and i still get my manicures and pedicure, but i've become surprisingly practical. i never in a million years thought i'd ever describe myself as practical..but i am. my dad's personality definitely rubbed off on me.

and lol renzo

I feel old since I don't really go out partying anymore



and I live 2 blocks away from one of the big clubs here in NYC.

Physical aging I'm totally fine with, don't misunderstand. It's just so foreign to me to be doing all these "adult" things without really having to think about it. I thought it would be more of a problem I guess. I dunno...when I think of adults I think of people who stress over bills and work and shit.

I suppose I expected it to be more of a challenge.


Also, I've been drinking. DRUNK THREAD!!!



edit: and I don't FEEL old...I just do "old" person things...and I don't really relate to it all that well.

Originally posted by LeopoldStotch getting older ftw. managing bills, finances, watching percentages, and going car shopping without having to worry about making down payments / monthly payments. wow slylee. i didn't know you were younger than me. i always figured you were older. (i just turned 28 btw).

I just implemented an amazing plan to pay off all my bills! Actually i don't know if its smart or not. But either way it 100% guaranteed to work. I forced myself to live on a strict budget. Now i have weak will power when it comes to spending money. Whenever i want something, i just buy it. BUT I thought to myself, if i don't have money i can't spend it!

Here is my genius plan that i came up with. I took at chunk of my take home pay and set aside for taxes. Whenever i get a raise i will adjust my taxes so that i will always have the adjusted take home pay of what i have right now. Come tax time i'll be brining in around $10-12,000 in refunds!!! Pay off ALL my bills at one time with tons of money left over. Well except my student loan. But at that point i will be able to start to pay around $1500 a month to quickly pay off my loan.

Again may not seem like the best plan, but there is a zero percent chance of epic fail.

Are you fucking joking? AT 20?!? You can't even legally drink in the US at that point...you can't even rent a car! Life over? lulz

ps
New furniture shopping is sweet. You should check out the couch we're gonna get. I plan on molesting it when Bunny's not looking.

I just had mine removed.

I had to move back to mom's basement (literary) some time ago due some events that occurred. I went from being "soon 25" to "just 17" in a matter of days. I guess that's what moms do best.

Hopefully I'll get that job in Stockholm.

It's what Upstate NY does to you. I can totally understand her bolting for Toronto.

Nah, could be Canadia [sic]

I've been thinking about a home, a car, some kind of entrepreneurship, a nice sofa and some kids in the following 5-10 years. i'm only 21...

its just that some people are not focused only on drugs, fucking and partying their asses off....

Originally posted by Renzo Get ready to freeze your asshole off, then. The first night I got to Atlanta I was wearing sandals and it was 17 degrees here. Not including windchill. My nuts almost fell off. I don't give a fuck what anyone says. That's cold for a Miamian.

I think it snowed more in Georgia than New York this past year.

For this being my first winter, we only got maybe 4 inches of snow?? It snowed 3 days total. 2 days it melted by the next day.

for me it's been the opposite. i've been doing "adult" things since i was a teenager. i moved out of the house at 16 and moved 900 miles away from home when i was 18. i've been working full-time for the last 7 years and i'll be turning 25 this October... but i have never felt like a kid through all of it. i mean i still act like a kid sometimes, but as far as paying bills and stressing about money and acting responsible, i've had to do that for so long that it just feels natural to me.

it was actually kind of weird when i was back home in NY last weekend and i met up with one of my best friends for drinks. we met when i was 18 and he was 17 and we were totally just immature reckless teenagers who loved to party back then... and listening to him talk about his life from an adult point of view was really odd. i thought it would make me feel old, seeing how much both of us have changed, but it really didn't. it was actually kind of comforting.

Jennie's place is fucking sweet even though it is small. Nice and quaint. The only thing that sucks is the having to hunch over to piss since the cieling is too fucking low!

so it's just like an airplane bathroom? Does it also come with a hatch that goes somewhere that you've never been, and you're tempted to jump down it to see where it goes but you're unsure of the ramifications (plus being a trash slide it's probably got used tampons, but that would only turn people like jay on)

hahahaha


Well if I get all my shit taken care of this year (read: before summer ends) then I will be making a visit...but the outlook is grim. I have to make sure that I get my car taken care of and my debts paid off. I am getting there!

My unit is in an old house...the ceiling on the top floor is vaulted. I dig my place, it has a lot of character.
