This is good advice to be fair.
I stopped my UPC (internet + TV) connection and save 20 a week now.
I live right by a large library if I want net and use their electricity for my laptop, I don't smoke and when I drink it's only a few times a year because the lads drink in and I charge them for their ride home if they need it (Jewing level 4).

If you keep the money and invest it you'd be a happy man in a few years, I've an extra 100 euro a week to use now. I'm the only guy my age that has government bonds, stocks, gold and silver coins in my house while I'm creating my own Crypto-Currency bot for a hobby to make extra cash.

Crypto-Currency bot? What is it?
User avatar #65 to #58 - tacticalhog (07/29/2015) [-]
Ive no idea about the subject, but looked on google for a bit and I think its a bot that you let control your internet money, like bitcoin, and it automatically trades and buys when it seems fit for the bot, in an effort to get a little extra money.

Hmm... I was really hoping for a detailed explanation from the jew but your reply was informative enough as well. Thanks, comrade!
#203 to #181 - whitegamedeveloper (08/01/2015) [-]
It buys and sells different types of cryptocurrencies by its self and then when the price of one goes up it sells and makes a profit.

You go to the library to get net? So you're that creppy guy sitting in the back with a blanket over his legs?

>Already comments about the women being "triggered".

This isn't even feminist related, no need to start a ********* just because she's a woman.
User avatar #53 to #4 - prohibullion (07/28/2015) [-]
yes
#197 to #4 - anon (07/30/2015) [-]
Maybe the content shouldn't have labelled PERSON #1 as just "MAN" and PERSON #2 as just "WOMAN". That **** would have avoided a lot of drama. 100% of it.


Call them Jim and Bob or Frank and Lucy and it's done.

THAT is the real result of feminism

Who cares about the gender of anyone in this at all?? Its a ******* joke.
User avatar #20 to #4 - angelious (07/28/2015) [-]
also there was really no chance for any of these two to have a gender..it adds nothing to the joke.

you could easily flip the genders. OR just change it to alcoholic and absolutist.

Level 1074?!
I guess video games can now be considered as bad an addiction as alocoholism, eh?

Congrats, tho, I could never get mine so high up.

User avatar #51 - emptysuperman ONLINE (07/28/2015) [-]
I make ****** pay, but have like $20,000 in the bank. Because I don't do stuff like drink at bars. So, yeah, in 20 years I could easily have a Ferrari. I'm going to spend it on more sensible things, of course.
User avatar #64 to #51 - AnomynousUser (07/29/2015) [-]
I hope you're looking into investments rather than just keeping it in a savings account. Outside of the emergency fund (which is as big as you want it, but at least 6 months' costs), just letting money sit in the bank isn't that productive.
User avatar #160 to #64 - emptysuperman ONLINE (07/29/2015) [-]
What else should I do with it? I've tried Googleing this so many times but can't find a good answer.

You could invest in gold to retain your wealth (as inflation is unavoidable with fiat currencies; and as we can all see has happened for the past 44 years) or you could invest in IRA's or mutual funds if you have trust that the dollar won't collapse or the government won't take it all in such a situation, or you could invest in real estate.

I don't know how to money. Only how to save.
#185 to #159 - swagbot (07/30/2015) [-]
BTW... you "don't know how 2 money" because most high-finance is just a big, elaborate, pomp'd-up ponzi scheme, and almost everyone who talks about it with swagger is only repeating the echo-chamber of university-taught concepts... they are only discussing the outer crust, and never delving into its core.

If you want to 'learn how 2 money', put in the time to watch this first...
> youtu.be/fsrtB5lp60s
...and this...
> youtu.be/4ECi6WJpbzE
... and finally this...
> youtu.be/iDtBSiI13fE

Then, you'll understand where "your" "money" (because it's neither really 'yours', nor is it 'money') really goes when you put it into a '401K', a 'Certificate of Deposit', a 'Treasury Bond', or a 'Mutual Fund'.

Buy Gold/Silver, gold in grams, silver in ounces. Because of some political **** , Gold is at an INSANELY low price right now.

Here's my personal last-resort stash: 175oz, ~$3000.

Two purposes:
> Despite fluctuations, Gold/Silver always correct their price when economic downturns hit. This makes them a 'wobbly' but reliable shield against inflation... so that your $20,000 doesn't suddenly drop in purchasing power to the equivalent of $2,000 or $200.
> Even if your country doesn't go through a crisis, you can usually ride 5-8-year waves of HUGE gainz. See here - set chart to [Gold/Silver, 15 years]: goldprice.org/gold-price.html

Also...
> Easy to conceal / guard (if you're not an idiot).
> You actually HAVE IT (and thus its VALUE) in your possession... unlike any paper / securities investment... many of which fold during crisis.

Also also....
> If you look up some clever methods, you can cash it in for currencies all over the world ;)
> You can trade PMs for cash tax-free... even under-the-table changers' fees are more reasonable than taxes.

In the end, though, even Precious Metals are just an abstract 'currency'. The BEST thing to do with 'cash' is spend it ASAP on gaining the things to 'set you up with your dreams.

why dont you drink at bars M8

> most alcohol / liquor tastes like intense, toxic cleaning chemicals.

Sounds more like you have boring friends
#165 to #132 - hurzg (07/29/2015) [-]
You don't need alcohol to have fun, fun people are always fun. Boring people are occasionally fun. Man, that sure sounds like an advice you would hear on tv commercials.
#166 to #165 - xxmemosxx (07/29/2015) [-]
I know that but if you do go out drinking and you find your company to be boring and shallow then alcohol isn't to blame, it's your boring and shallow friends.
#183 to #166 - swagbot (07/30/2015) [-]
You're absolutely correct.

Just to be clear, i was responding to "why dont you drink at bars M8", and was just saying that the kind of people who hang our around bars are suffering from... well... the exact problem you mentioned... they are boring people and so am i, unfortunately.

Bigger problem, though:

We have inherited a world that saps our souls, and influences us to be boring (I'm 24).

Just like i dislike '420 braze it w33d' culture, i also dislike 'git sum brewskiez' culture:

IMO, real, impressing, soul-impacting 'fun' comes from doing cool **** ... and getting drunk / buzzed at the same bar over and over again for decades is a sad substitute for the fun that those people could have if they put a little bit of effort into it.

Just my 2¢.
User avatar #157 to #75 - emptysuperman ONLINE (07/29/2015) [-]
So that I can have $20,000 in the bank. If I do go to a bar, it's usually an after party to something else and I'll order one drink the entire night.
User avatar #158 to #157 - emptysuperman ONLINE (07/29/2015) [-]
Which also makes that one drink more special.

Theres actually been studies on this, but on smoking rather than drinking. Studies show that even though smokers use more money than non-smokers because they have to pay for an addiction, they still have equal amounts of money left over, because non-smokers just use it on other stuff.

The best advice I've ever received on budgeting is from one of my high school coaches.

Saving money is all fine and good, but the whole reason you save, or even have money, is so you can buy happiness bear with it . This isn't some "money can buy happiness if youre rich" monopoly scheme, the only reason people say "money can't buy you happiness" is because the stereotype is you but **** you think will make you happy, that society says will make you happy.

Find yourself a hobby and throw yourself into it. Don't spend your money on **** you think will make you happy, spend it on **** that's proven to make you happy.

It's all within reason, of course. It's rather difficult to be happy with your hobby if you've thrown money at it to the point of being broke and now live in a box. Get a job, find an affordable domicile, and for craps sake buy a little crack every now and then.

NOTE: Do not actually buy crack.

After making sure I have money for rent and insurance, I spend a good chunk of my money on magic. No regrets about it whatsoever.

Last time I checked, beer doesn't have a horrendous insurance bill (or insurance for that matter) and doesn't need upkeep.

If you're paying 5$ a beer, it's at a pub or bar.

Those are precious memories with friends.
User avatar #122 to #49 - denniswilles (07/29/2015) [-]
Which you can get for free as well.
#182 to #122 - internetnick (07/29/2015) [-]
You know, you can live your life for free.

The kind of person to want a car like that isn't the kind of person who makes memories for free.
