You missed the best option: Sabotage their ass. Make them look incompetent in front of people, and never ever EVER own up to making this happen. It's a total dick move, but sometimes you have to go nuclear. I had a woman who was throwing about 5 of us under the bus. I made her look like an incompetent fool on so many…
Shame:
That doesn't always work. If it's someone you know, you might want to try to show them that they're being a douche in a more constructive way. If you just blast them, they're likely to shut you down and not learn anything.
I had a disturbing conversation with a guy back in the 90's. I didn't know him, but he…
Something stuck out to me: You have friends who brag about things like helping someone else out, or deleting a racist idiot?
I try to live my life by the Non-Aggression Principal, help others out when I can, and never EVER brag about it, or even talk about it unless someone is with me and sees me helping someone out.…
Good job, dream-killer! (I'm kidding, but man, you DID take some of the air out of the ownership experience of a Ferrari.)
I find it slightly repugnant that people like to attribute success to "luck." That negates the blood, sweat, and tears that someone has put into their work. I know that the OP mentioned hard work, but it seems like he/she wanted to dismiss that as being secondary. I couldn't disagree more. The self-made crowd didn't…
Luck is nothing more than preparation meeting opportunity.
And if you look closely at the self-made crowd, you'll see one thing in common: Almost all of them have failed numerous times before succeeding. The drive to keep going in the face of failure is more important than "luck."
That's no fun!
"AutoMath will give you the answer, along with a step-by-step tutorial on how to solve the equation for yourself. " Not necessarily!
I'm with you on the $25K thing. I mean, if you can pay cash for it, get what you want. But if you're paying payments on $40K, then you're really not an owner, are you?
Poor people ask how much is the payment. Rich people ask how much does it cost.
What a great ride to pick up chicks... Which will do you no good as soon as they find out that you can't afford to take them out.
They don't afford it. They lease it.
I recently had to buy a car (My '01 Jetta was on its last legs, and it was going to cost more than it was worth to repair the damned thing), so I went out and got a $16K 2014 Focus with 12 miles on it that will be paid off in 3 years. I wasn't happy about that. but I have to have…
I usually do this, but at half the amount. That way I get a little bonus for being a good boy and paying off my car.
It might be worth your while to take a car buying vacation to a southern city. We have plenty, and I have a friend who used to supplement his income by buying used here (Dallas), then driving it up to Chicago to sell at a nice profit. A one-way ticket and a few nights in a budget motel on the way home shouldn't be too…
Heh... Honalulu? You'd better be ready for some price adjustments vs. Dallas my friend.
And the demographics of Dallas vs. the outlying areas skew the life expectancy. Black and Latino people live shorter lifespans (on average of course) than white people, and the counties around Dallas are predominantly white, while…
Yeah, but how was the Salt Lake?
I love how education = bachelors degree. There are many areas of business where a degree isn't nearly as important as professional certifications. This is a false correlation, as bachelors degrees are becoming less and less valuable. Even masters degrees aren't a good indicator. Hell, my wife has a Masters degree (and…
I do that on bigger items. On something in a grocery store, though...
Of course, I don't buy much beyond fresh things and toilet paper and the like in the grocery store too.
I have an older model Donald Trump wallet. (Don't laugh... it's awesome)
It has a zipper compartment in the billfold area and more importantly, the billfold area is open on one side. It's lasted me over 10 years, and is finally getting to the point that I need to replace it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find a wallet…
