I am hard on you dude, but if you live poor, you will be poor. I'm hardly daddy warbucks, but 150$ being most of your disposable income for a year dictates that you are doing it very fucking wrong. You will be a loner boner forever unless you change how you think and get the tit out of your mouth.
Nou, you are one of the ugliest creatures on the planet, living like a baller could only help you. Time to get a job. |
Where the are you getting this 150$ number from? I said the ticket alone was $250. I could go to DEMF, but then I couldn't do a lot of other things. Going to DEMF would be a huge expenditure because I'd need to get a hotel room and airline tickets on top of the festival ticket and then obviously booze and drugs (and food). It'd be way more expensive than doing my local festival, which is often just as good, and going out most weekends in the month to see locals and headliners (which isn't exactly cheap either). It is about priorities. Would DEMF be cool to do? Yes. Is it worth cutting back on my normal partying and disposable income expenditures? No, not in my opinion.
Also I don't work hard to eat a meal. I don't like going out to get food, or making food. Most of the time it feels like a waste of energy (ironic that you need food for energy). If I could eat a pill and get all the calories and nutrition for the day I'd totally be down for it. Just not a huge foodie (though totally able to appreciate good food still). |

That's a horrible diet. You might not be fat, but you're far from healthy if you're regularly eating like that.
Eating healthy isn't complicated or expensive, either. I never got the whole deal with people making that excuse, unless your grocery budget is limited to banquet meals. Gross. |
My grocery budget is fine, I just don't like cooking so I eat quesadillas and rice/noodles, and hamburgers from the local hamburger joint most of the time (amongst other random things). Throw in vitamins and I'm generally good. |

A weekend at DEMF shouldn't cost you more than a grand, total. And that's being very generous. I'm aggressively paying debt AND saving for a wedding and I can still easily afford a few trips a year.
You are definitely doing it wrong if making the DEMF trip means you can't do other things. |

going to a festival in your own city is busting your bank.
GET A JOB.
You think that spending 100$ is retarded unless you are paying for 7 people. You can't even do Chipotle for that price. Waiting for that inheritance will not change your life. Do it yourself. Diapers are so 1984. |

$1000? That seems really cheap for everything. |

If you're spending a grand for DEMF you're living like a king/queen.
Ticket is cheap. Flights are cheap. Hotel (if you split it) is cheap. Drinks (you can walk in/out of the festival to the hotel) are cheap. It's the main reason I'm going tbh. If it were more than a grand, I'd just go to Europe. |

All my play money comes out of one of my personal investment funds (fully funded by myself, built years ago while I was working full time, because instead of partying I was investing), it isn't breaking the bank, it isn't even "in the bank".
I just limit myself usually to a couple big expenditures a year, Decibel is one of those, buying a new lens or two for my camera (or other camera gear, this year it was a lens and a bunch of lighting gear), a trip around the 4th of July is another (though didn't have one this year), and then usually a few other trips with family + emergency money for trips.
Decibel being one of those is about $750-$1000 for the 5 days. It isn't a cheap festival even if you live in the city. Seattle is pricey compared to Detroit, if you didn't notice.
Do I want to go to DEMF, yes. Is it worth adding to the list of things I already do? Not really probably.
I also like to spend money on random stupid things, like something I plan to do tomorrow. :p |

No, I am used to partying in one of the more expensive places in North America. Detroit being that cheap just doesn't register, almost feels exploitative. :p |
