Number is probably closer 93% when you realize to be in "the top 7% of earners", you only need a 75k salary. Top 3% is an entirely different ballgame.

Anyways, this all comes down to western civilization's infatuation with "stuff". Stuff that has little to no effect on your day to day life. Stuff that loses nearly all of it's excitement value after 3 weeks of ownership. I don't know what it is about phones in particular but for the longest time people legit HAD TO HAVE the latest and greatest Galaxy/iphone. Every two years like clockwork, 80% of my immediate social circle is talking about their contract nearly being up and being excited for an upgrade.

It's like... you all DO realize phones are little different than laptops and TVs as far as practicality is concerned right? Like do you go out and buy a new giant $1500 flat screen every two years??? probably not. Maybe now that cell phones are starting to cost as much as TVs and laptops, perhaps people will hang on to them a bit longer. No one to blame but yourselves.

1k clearly isn't "chump change" when you're going through all this trouble to make 7.5k.

What does it matter if I make minimum wage? I don't get government handouts, I pay for stuff with my money. Who gives a chit how much I make?

So I'm an edgelord because I acknowledge that spending 1000 on a phone is a waste of money? If that's how you want to rationalize it man

Do you like traveling?

Because I think traveling is a waste of time and money. I'd take a new iPhone over an all inclusive trip to just about anywhere in the world.

It's funny how the misc talks about investing so much, and not buying depreciating assets, yet buys $1k phones.

About 40 now, last job about 75. 15k in 401k, 15k in savings 50k in student loans. Own a home, selling soon. Will put about 110k in the bank. Don't have a long term plan with this money yet.

If I did mind, how would that be a problem? We don't all work in a world where there's a chart that dictates our income. Once you get out of the service you may find not everybody just volunteers their entire financial situation to a stranger.

How is it even relevant? His point stands. Even if he makes minimum wage, who's to say what he can or cannot use his money on? Besides, this is the internet. Anyone can claim they make any amount. You want spoon pics along with his pay stubs too?

I'm sorry breh. As a barely six-fig earner i just have to say "one whole thousand dollars" is not a lot of money.

but one whole thousand dollars for a phone when you already have a comparable phone IS a lot of money. if someone is finally jumping off the nokia trap-phone boat, then sure, drop your 1k and be future proof for the next 90days, but stop being ridiculous.

let me guess. you have a closet full of $400 givenchy t-shirts as well?

How so?

I'll make the minimum payment until the debt is forgiven. Which isn't a thing yet, but just wait. People with more debt and more useless degrees than mine are going to make it a thing.

Please god no. People who receive a degree in lesbian dance theory deserve the financial burden that comes with it.



Edit: Damn, this isn't the right part of his speech. I wanted the part where he basically asks what the point of anything is if there's no consequences.

"The thing is, if you just do stuff and nothing happens, what's it all mean? What's the point?"

i don't get shook by people who are below my tax bracket as your worth is literally and economically below me. i actually liked the cersie lannister comment. just confirms my aesthetics and knowing deep down you're rustled your genetics AND economic status is inferior to me. 40k a year? how the hell do you even live? serious question.
