Seems like I hear a ton or people brag about material things like cars, clothing, big houses etc.. it’s never appealed to me to have a life full of “things”. Anyone else like this?

Thanks again on spread or would rep

I have a life full of things but don't really care that I have them. My family is the most important thing to me. Real talk.

Have friends that spend a chitload on kitchens And remodeling. Don’t have two nickels to rub together but spend like 8 k for marble counter tops and one bought a fridge with antv and iPad or some chit on it.

Currently earning a lot above average, renting an apt and not having any plans to buy a home soon.
Spending all my muneiz with my girl on activities, going out and gym attire. No regrets .. it might come down and bight me in the arse sometimes tho.

As long as I have a roof over my head and food I'm content. But I really would like a decent space to myself. Wife and I living in shared accomm and it's putting a strain on things now. Really need a house for ourselves but ££. You can go ott on material, but the basics show that you're going in the right direction at least...

Been wearing the same pair of jeans that I bought for 12$ for over a year and my shoes have holes in them but I just don't care lol.

Would rather just save any money so I can retire as early as possible. Probably due to me growing up in a poor household

I guess I’m talking about more luxury/unnecessary material items. 80k cars, $200 jeans, chit like that.

Just get a flat you cheap bastards, that's like £500 each, WTF are you doing?

Wish more people had that attitude in this consumeristic, debt-ridden society.

Economy would take a hit at first, but it would be far more sustainable long term.

Repped.

I have 2 dilemmas in my life. I wrote in your "future goals" thread a couple of days ago.

Part of me wants to work, invest, save, get rental properties, get a GTR.

Part of me wants to enjoy my life more, maybe not work so much.

I have a really good amount of money invested already. If i were to work part time, I could easily get by srs.

I don't prioritize material things, but I do like them.That's called an investment.

Anyone else not care about OP's threads?

Like the one where he was bragging about owning an AMG...

aren't you the guy who was apparently frauding over owning an expensive car

IthoughtI cared, but the older I get the more I'm seeing that material things are just a waste of space and time to deal with. Everyone I know (including my parents) with lots of "stuff" spend more time looking after and protecting and worrying about their "stuff" than then spend time enjoying life. You have to worry about people stealing it so you buy security measures, and when you use the stuff it breaks down and you have to get it fixed. Sometimes the stuff required insurance and registration that you have to pay for on a monthly or yearly basis. Its just little things. It doesn't sound like much but when you have a half a dozen items like that laying around your property, it becomes time consuming and stressful to worry about garbage you own simply because it was expensive.

Obsession with "stuff" is a boomer attitude, and people that aren't boomers picked it up from their boomer relatives. I'll admit that I was that person and I still kinda am, but i'm slowly growing out of it. At the end of the year i'm moving out of this podunk state and going back to California. I drive a 4 door sedan, and i'm currently in the mindset of;"Whatever doesn't fit in this car, i'm trowing away."I don't want to rent a storage shed, I don't want to rent a U-Haul and I sure as hell dont want to make 2nd or third trips out here to pick up items I "thought" I needed.

and before anyone says;

"herp, you're just a poor**** justifying your inability to buy things by saying you don't care about material things cope harder!"

The job i'm transferring to has a base pay of $55k/year and caps at around $80k, so I will not be "strapped for cash" by any sense of the imagination.

Don’t care about my threads but post in them, also I already showed 100% proof that I was trolling people. I just don’t think they could deal with the fact that I duped/rustled them.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one positive post from you, it’s either name calling or talking chit.

When I buy cheap pants I have to get new ones every 6 months or so. I train legs and there's a lot of chaffing between my thighs and the fabric wears out in the crotch area. I'm cheap, but I can't walk around with a glaring hole in my crotch, lol.

I do understand the shoe situation. I hate having to "break in" new shoes For that first couple of weeks they hurt to wear for long periods of time.

lmao

das fukn it mane

i've never really cared about stuff, and multiple moves between countries and then multiple moves within the country has reduced my chit to what i can fit in my car. still too much chitnot my fault there are so many idiots

more chit = more distractions

When I was younger I used to want a really nice car like lambo, ferrari etc, wanted a big house and shyt. Now after having a family and going through hardship and all that, financial independence is the most important thing to me. All i wanted is a reliable car, a good-sized house with a big yard in a safe, quiet area, and enough money to travel occasionally in a year and help out my parents if they need it. Anything extra is bonus but I'm not gonna cry if I don't get them.

I like material things, just not the same things as most.

When they are in debt already

On something that increases the resale value of a home, yes.

I use to care more..now days the older i get..I would love to just get in a camper or RV..take my 3 bikes..my laptop,cell phone and my wife and live the simplest life possible..Im sick of people and the expected adult american way of life honestly..

I dont do a 40 hour week, and save 60% of my income.... I dont buy stuff unless something is broken. Recently bought some new clothes and it was a waste of money in hindsight.

That explains why you frauded that you owned an AMG but got caught because your pics featured a steering wheel from 1989

Op is a fukin tool
