But the worst part is, I'm too financially sensible to just go out and buy a new one. The thought of impulse buying when I should be paying off bills and whatnot just stresses me out. Sucks being fiscally conservative when you just want to act irresponsibly eh?
I hear that. I've got plenty of money for stuff, but I can't bring myself to spend it. That's why it bothers me when I see my friends acting irresponsibly with their money. I had an experience not too long ago with one of my friends. He constantly complains about wanting to be out on his own, but he says he can't afford it.
I call bullshit. "Don't spend your money on $230 sunglasses and expensive brands of clothing and maybe you could save some damn cash", I told him.
^On that note, the bluntness. [rant]Pisses me off when people can't take it. I speak my mind, deal with it. If you don't like it don't listen.[/rant]

It pisses me off that the one girl who has shown any interest in me - by that I mean wanting me for more than sex - is only on vacation here from Hawaii and has gone back. I have her email and her mobile number, but what the hell? We were both really into each other and still are, and now she's gone. Fuck my life.
My personal opinions are not endorsed by FileFront. But they should be.

Oh yeah, I see that all the time. I have friends that blow their money on stupid stuff (Or, stupid IMO at least, like clothes that are $100 more money for simply having a brand name on them), and when I ask them if they want to go out they ask me to pay. I mean really, what's more important? Going out for dinner, or drinks with friends or buying some fucking dumb jeans?
Then when I complain about not being able to buy a computer because I know I should be more conservative with my cash, they just say, "Oh that's stupid, just buy a computer, then you'll be happy."
So while yes, they are correct, I wouldn't have to deal with the stress of having crappy PC anymore. But I would then have to deal with the stress of having more bills to pay.
The aforementioned friends are of course in mountains of debt already. And we're all in our late teens, early twenties.

Yeah, my whole life I've been told to lower my voice, and "take it easy".
[RANT]No, fuck you. I'll speak my mind if I want to. There are things that need to be said, the truth hurts sometimes. The reason why the global economy is so fucked up is because the average voter is the biggest retard on the planet. They'll vote for the well spoken politician who makes all his policies sound so nice and good for the average guy.
What we need is some hardcore realists who go out, state the realities of the situation bluntly, and come up with some realistic plans to solve the problems. Will it sound nice? No, it will sound like Fascist dictatorship to the dumb ass voter, but those people will be ones that solve our problems. So if you're upset about the lack of progress, blame yourself for electing morons. The politicians are the problem, not the system.[/RANT]

I throw it back at them. One of my favorite lines is, "You can afford what you're wearing, but not a $10 trip to a fast food joint?" Or, "A few games of bowling?" Or whatever else. Seriously. Sometimes I wonder how far these people have their head up their ass. I mean, I love them to death; but God almighty. Pull it out.
"I like quality", they say. Again, I call bullshit. You can have quality without paying out the ass for it. For instance, I bought a knock off of a high-quality Ray-Ban model, a shield model. Showed it to my friend. Apart from the logo not being on the sunglasses, he could not tell that it wasn't a "high-quality" brand. I paid $15 for them. As opposed to what, $150? There is no chance in bloody hell I would pay that much for sunglasses.
I've never, ever paid over $60 for an item of clothing (suits and formal wear excluded, of course). Even my Converse All-Stars only cost $40, which is still pretty steep for shoes, IMO.

If people come to you with their problems, that could mean they see you as a person they can talk to, someone they can come to for help, which is a good thing and a compliment to you as a person.
If they were coming to me for advice, that would be fine. They're coming to me about problems that I am aware exist and just saying "Do something about it", to which I respond, "I am, deal with it until then or take care of it yourself". Problems such as our new furnace/boiler being installed so we had no hot water for the day, there are some mice issues, etc.

Ill pay $60-$100 for, but thats because I only buy a pair of shoes once everything 18 months.

I just bought $200 shoes. It's the only article of clothing that I dish out any cash for. My old shoes were getting really worn out, they lasted me almost 2 years I think. So they were well worth the investment. Plus, feet are pretty broad, and I have a high arch, so I need really good shoes in order to be comfortable.
Other than that, I'd never spend over $100 on any article of clothing bar formal wear.

Shoes are worth the investment, a good pair of shoes will serve you well for a long time!

Oh, I didn't know you're a handy(wo)man and a mice exterminator in your building. You must be quite handy.
Tell you what. Next time someone comes to you to bitch about the problems that are already in the process of being taken care of, send them to me and I'll take care of them. *hides the pipe wrench behind the back*
