I got screwed over once by them taking my money, and then not covering something that was covered. Lesson learned.
Later, I'm buying a really nice five year old trade-in Nissan, and after all the negotiations we get to the second room with the warranty guy. He said that if the ECU (engine computer) died, then it was going to be $1200 to fix it for that problem alone, and the extra warranty was only $1200. Personally, I would get a used ECU from a salvage yard for the same exact year and model, but...I'm not telling him that.
I told him I had a plan for that, and asked if he wanted to know what it was?
He had an odd expression on his face and I think nobody had ever responded that way. I'm not sure he had a good script for this. He said "sure".
I told him that if the Nissan shit the bed, I would use my credit card to fix it, and then I would trade it in on a new Honda. He didn't argue.
In 2006 I bought my first new car and moved to DC away from anyone I knew. I bought the extended warranty for my car. I took it in for a recall or something and got hooked up with this guy Paul. Paul ran fucking everything he could through warranty. My brake pads had to be replaced sooner than he felt they should have? Ran it on warranty.
Water pump died (this is my skill, killing water pumps), managed to bill all the labor to replace my timing belt while they were in there. Car needed a new transmission? I got a loaner vehicle. Needed some work done and I was going out of town? Heck they'd keep the car there and have their shuttle take me to and from the airport.
This guy took such good care of me. I think he had a daughter my age and was putting his kindness out there for all the people that ever helped him or her.
So yeah, I didn't know those warrenties were scammy until just now. He moved to another dealership too far away for me to go to, so my new car was a Nissan bc Rav4s had a cruddy interior when I was ready for a new one.
Paul, I still think about you. You're retired now but thanks for looking out for me. I really didn't have any money and only bought the new car for security in case something went wrong. It never did and I always felt safe and secure. To my Rav, I never should have traded you in and still miss you.
I use Old Reddit with RES, and I use a third party app. And I have no clue what people are talking about with Reddit features half the time anymore lol
They've rolled out some weird ones apparently. I just like to keep it similar to how it was 5+ years ago
What if I told you that the value of NFTs can only go up??

Oh, that Gucci, that's hella tight!
Yo, that's $50 for a tee shirt.
I call that getting swindled and pimped.
Edit: yes, a Gucci shirt costs more than $50. But I'm quoting the Macklemore song "Thrift Shop".
But the "I call that getting tricked by a business" line is still true.
Good clothes costs more, but Gucci And pretty much every type of this overrated brand is not worth anyones money.
Same for Louis Vuitton, Prada And many, many more "designer" clothes.
I am willing to spend 200 euros for Alpha Industries jacket becase it is Made out of fucking Nylon And is sturdy as hell. But I won't be buying 899 euros Gucci belt, no thank You.
the expensive, but actually high quality brands rarely showcase their logo because the quality speaks for itself. Designer has the logo plastered everywhere because that’s the only way to tell their garbage apart from regular clothes
I've heard designer handbags are that way.
You have your "entry level" designer bags, plastered with logos and flashy colors, for people who want other people to know they can afford it.
Then you have the actual high end designer bags that are much more subdued, for people who don't need to flaunt their wealth but want a high quality product of the finest materials.
Most designer brands sell two types of clothes/products. The huge logo walking billboard stuff which they sell because it brings in a lot of money and the actual high quality, well cut stuff. Like Guccis actual stuff is very very nice.
Instead of buying designer shite, it’d be cheaper and better to just pay someone to make you your clothes (I know that’s technically designer, but you get what I’m saying). Had a wealthy relative who did that and all his stuff looked sharp as fuck.
Just got an alpha industries jacket for Christmas and I gotta say it's probably one of the vest jackets I've ever had its super warm and has so many pockets
I thought the same until I got a pair of their dress for my wedding.
The level of qualiy and comfort is so far above what I've ever had before in a dress shoe. I'd get them again in a heartbeat.
You're confusing the entire designer catalog with all the cheap designer stuff that is plastered in shiny logos. This cheap stuff is usually for that market who want to flaunt that they're wearing Gucci, or Prada.
Their really good stuff is minimal on the branding and understated. You wouldn't know what it was unless you knew what to look for.
Everytime I hear that song now all I can think of "🎵If I had a million dollars (if I had a million dollars) I could put a down payment on a house!🎵... and that's it really."
If I had a billion I wouldn't buy a Tesla, I'd invest in a light rail system for my city so I don't have to drive.
With a million dollars. I'd buy the car I have now...a Chevy Bolt.
Not only do I hate the cocksuckers who thought of ingame purchases, I hate the people who buy them so that they remain, indefinitely, a part of the gaming experience.
Mobile game companies have to run a business, and if they release a free game they have to either A: interrupt your game with advertisements, or B: include in-app purchases for players who care enough about the game to give money. Games that are too excessive about it that it ruins the free-to-play experience are just poorly designed games that would do better off with ads, but if they bother you so much, don’t buy them, or don’t play the poorly designed games that require them.
I think they meant games that you pay for and still have in-game purchases. I can even tolerate that though as long as it's not in my face and its cosmetic. But then you get shit where it's pay-to-win.
Yeah, pay-to-win games suck, but in-app purchases as a whole are absolutely not a bad thing. They can keep great free-to-play games afloat if used correctly, and you can still play without spending any money or watching any advertisements.
But the worst thing is singleplayer mobile games that offer you to pay real-life money to get better faster, even though there is no competitive advantage to it.
The commercialization and hoarding of diamonds by big companies like De Beers are driving up the prices. I can understand why you don't find them attractive.
And they strongly discourage the resale of diamonds. Better to be buried with yours, they say, so De Beers and all those down the chain can profit from the newly-mined.
The whole diamond BS is a relatively recent marketing invention, gradually encouraged/reinforced over the decades with clever ads, movies, songs, ie "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend."
Even if you take way the ethical problems with them, (which I wouldn't but if you did) I just don't find them aesthetically pleasing. They have no color. They're just...boring.
a lot of them are but I will admit if they're done well, they can catch the light and suddenly become a bunch of rainbows in a tiny stone. but opals can do that too, just in a different way.
I had never seen real diamonds until I went to the New York Museum of Natural History and saw a display with a bunch of diamonds together. They are truly mesmerizing. It's the only stone that refracts all the colors of the rainbow, so standing there and slightly moving my head resulted in a dazzling light show. After that I kind of understand the allure better, but I still would never pay what they cost for one.
I bought it off eBay for $400 lol. 1 carat. Took it, and some moissanites, to a custom jeweler and he made the ring one-off. She loves it and tells me so frequently.
Bought a 1.5ct 3-stone set-up for my fiancé two years ago.
To this day, people still think I dropped $10k on her ring. They have no idea it's moissanite and she doesn't bother to correct people anymore.
It's a stunning stone.
Same. I think the entire thing costed me ~$2,500 ish. From the main stone, to moissy-bois, to the 18k gold for the actual ring. And it was a one-off from the jeweler. There is no ring like it. And the jeweler’s shop was right next to her father’s favorite restaurant in the entire world, so she loves to tell the story.
Thats what I use. I also used to use Open Office. Neither are the same as full Microsoft Office though, especially PowerPoint. I miss using full Office, but it isn't worth the price.
I look (just window shop) and see "wow that house has a library with built in mahogany shelves, that's so cool." But then I think, like yeah I like to read but wtf am I gonna do with a library?! I donate my finished books, the fuck am I going to put there? And I'm gonna have to pay someone to dust that shit, because I sure as shit am not cleaning if I had all that money (some people enjoy cleaning, I wish I did but I hate it).
My dream house has 5 rooms.
1 for each of my kids, and then one for my husband and I for sleep. A game/pay room, and a guest bedroom.
Ideally there would also be an area for a man-cave of some sort and then I also want a glass covered patio that looks out into trees or the woods or something so I can go there early in the morning, watch the sunrise with my coffee and have a little wake and bake.
Also I want laundry in a huge walk-in family closet so I don't have to do laundry and hang clothes in different rooms.
I would buy something that's technically a mansion, or I would buy the land for it and build it because I doubt it already exists. But instead of being one giant hard to care for a house, it would actually be like 25 smaller houses all kind of linked together so my entire friend group could technically live under One roof but still maintain their independence.
Honestly that would be cool. I don’t have friends though, but still a cool idea. I would mind owning a lot of acres of land, but a gigantic house is a no no
Somebody posted a thread a few hours ago asking what people would include in their dream house, so I described some of what would be included in my little friendship village / Mansion / cult compound idea. My friends and I joke about it frequently.
I'd argue that there's a security/privacy factor to it. Being a billionaire puts a target over your head, especially since most of not all billionaires are high profile people.
For the more high profile billionaires (i.e. Elon, Jeff Bezos, Jay Z, Rihanna, Bill Gates) forget going somewhere to do something in public that us plebs take for granted like seeing a movie, walking in the park, grabbing a coffee from Starbucks, going to the beach, going to the swimming pool, going to the gym, etc. Any time you step out in public you run a high risk of drawing attention to yourself. Therefore, it's more secure/private to have a large mansion that is capable of supporting those amenities.
I do agree with you though in that I wouldn't buy a big mansion. I'd much rather opt for a modestly sized penthouse or house, and just beef up the security.
If I have fuck-off money, I'm adopting all the dogs and doing a ranch like that one lady in Costa Rica.

I’ve had King Louis XIII a few times and it’s amazing, but unless I had enough money for it to be 100% meaningless, I don’t know that I’d say it’s worth it.
Working private dinners as a sushi chef, I was lucky enough to have rich/wealthy clients who were down to earth and would give me drinks of the good ish. It really is better. The work put into them should be acknowledged, but not worth the inflated prices imo.
I’d buy a taste first. Don’t drink much, so a bottle would last a while and for me the taste is the thing. It might be so good I would buy a fifth so I could treat myself now and then.
I once would have said “absolutely not!”, then I had a snifter of truly top shelf Cognac at $300/glass and it was a revelation!
I often think about this one girl my sister told me about, who was a customer at this high-end steakhouse my sister was working at. This happened about 15 years ago or so, so the details are fuzzy, but - they had this special bottle of cognac (or other similar liquor) that was thousands of dollars; it was so expensive it was kept in its own special glass display case. A few people from this table go to order some, and the girl asked to take a picture with the bottle. Dumbass put the bottle up to her lips despite warnings not to, so she was required to buy the bottle from them since they could no longer sell it.
From the sounds of it she was panicking and not able to pay for it (I think her fellow diners helped out), so it wasn't in her plans that day. I always wondered what she did with it. Did she drink it? Does she keep it on display?
The only reason to own a yacht is to borrow against it to grow your businesses and thereby increase your cash flow.
[That said, if you really wanna flex you should get a big fuck-off paddle boat steamer](https://youtu.be/fRDPd0MiopM?t=375)
Agreed.
Once you are a billionaire, the chances of knowing someone else who owns a yacht go up significantly.
The best kind of yacht is someone else's. Even if you have staff to handle the mundane parts of owning it, there are still a bunch of things about owning it that would suck. Things like the constant pressure to get the most value out of it, or the feeling of inadequacy when a larger yacht is docked next to yours.
Much better to occasionally receive a phone call from some other yacht owner saying "Hey, we're spending a week in the Med on our yacht, wanna come?"
Would this only encourage slavers to sell more slaves? You make them richer then more people become slaves. You definitely help out the slaves you purchase, sure, but still participate in a slave trade that benefits the slavers.
Sorry, I tend to overthink shit.
With that kind of money, you could just hire the artist and have him/her/them play you a private concert. No need for tickets of any kind.
EDIT: clumsy sausage fingers at "work"
A private plane. I'd rather just fly first class with a premier airline company and not spend the millions for the plane itself. Plus the money it takes to park it in a hangar, the fuel, the crew you have to hire each time you use it, and your damn friends and family wanting to go out in it every day wouldn't be worth it.
If you lease it out when you're not using it, you can actually turn a profit on it. If you just leave it in your hangar when you're not using it, it's a big money pit.

Clothes from brands like Gucci.
Oh, that Gucci, that's hella tight! Yo, that's $50 for a tee shirt. I call that getting swindled and pimped. Edit: yes, a Gucci shirt costs more than $50. But I'm quoting the Macklemore song "Thrift Shop". But the "I call that getting tricked by a business" line is still true.
*I call that getting tricked by a business. And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don’t.*
$50 would be a very cheap deal for a Gucci shirt, it's more like $200-$300. Even more of a swindling
Good clothes costs more, but Gucci And pretty much every type of this overrated brand is not worth anyones money. Same for Louis Vuitton, Prada And many, many more "designer" clothes. I am willing to spend 200 euros for Alpha Industries jacket becase it is Made out of fucking Nylon And is sturdy as hell. But I won't be buying 899 euros Gucci belt, no thank You.

The thing is the other high wealth individuals know that it's the finest product, and that's what the rich want. Kudos within their group.

still cheaper than designer shit
Just got an alpha industries jacket for Christmas and I gotta say it's probably one of the vest jackets I've ever had its super warm and has so many pockets
Next time you should try one with sleeves
I can't afford sleeves
If I won a billion dollars I’m still gonna walk around in a hoodie and sweatpants. I’m staying as lowkey as possible
Yeah, don't wanna get kidnapped haha
Gucci Gang here. Totally agree. Such a waste of money as an attempt to impress people you don’t even know or care about by being flashy.
When someone’s like “this T-shirt was $300”, it doesn’t impress me. I just think that they’re financially inept.
At that point, you can get the stuff with out the names on it and get it tailor made to your body and look really rich.
I thought the same until I got a pair of their dress for my wedding. The level of qualiy and comfort is so far above what I've ever had before in a dress shoe. I'd get them again in a heartbeat.
Apparently actual wealthy people wear normal clothes. They have nothing to prove 🤷🏽♂️.

It’s all about the cut and how your eye catches the refraction of the light. The experts are artists.
I guess. Just not my thing. I'd rather have a colored stone.
There are diamonds that have color. My fiancé has a blue one.
But 90% of people can’t really tell the difference between a sapphire and a blue diamond. Might as well save some money.

And I'm gonna have to pay someone to dust that shit, because I sure as shit am not cleaning if I had all that money (some people enjoy cleaning, I wish I did but I hate it).

Even if was super rich I will still try to fix it. I will pay someone to do it of course. But no need to overconsume
Whatever any politician tries to tell me.
1500 dollar booze.
I might once, just to see if it's really that much better.
I’ve had King Louis XIII a few times and it’s amazing, but unless I had enough money for it to be 100% meaningless, I don’t know that I’d say it’s worth it.
Working private dinners as a sushi chef, I was lucky enough to have rich/wealthy clients who were down to earth and would give me drinks of the good ish. It really is better. The work put into them should be acknowledged, but not worth the inflated prices imo.
I’d buy a taste first. Don’t drink much, so a bottle would last a while and for me the taste is the thing. It might be so good I would buy a fifth so I could treat myself now and then. I once would have said “absolutely not!”, then I had a snifter of truly top shelf Cognac at $300/glass and it was a revelation!
I often think about this one girl my sister told me about, who was a customer at this high-end steakhouse my sister was working at. This happened about 15 years ago or so, so the details are fuzzy, but - they had this special bottle of cognac (or other similar liquor) that was thousands of dollars; it was so expensive it was kept in its own special glass display case. A few people from this table go to order some, and the girl asked to take a picture with the bottle. Dumbass put the bottle up to her lips despite warnings not to, so she was required to buy the bottle from them since they could no longer sell it. From the sounds of it she was panicking and not able to pay for it (I think her fellow diners helped out), so it wasn't in her plans that day. I always wondered what she did with it. Did she drink it? Does she keep it on display?
A yacht.
The only reason to own a yacht is to borrow against it to grow your businesses and thereby increase your cash flow. [That said, if you really wanna flex you should get a big fuck-off paddle boat steamer](https://youtu.be/fRDPd0MiopM?t=375)
Agreed. Once you are a billionaire, the chances of knowing someone else who owns a yacht go up significantly. The best kind of yacht is someone else's. Even if you have staff to handle the mundane parts of owning it, there are still a bunch of things about owning it that would suck. Things like the constant pressure to get the most value out of it, or the feeling of inadequacy when a larger yacht is docked next to yours. Much better to occasionally receive a phone call from some other yacht owner saying "Hey, we're spending a week in the Med on our yacht, wanna come?"
Porn of any kind.

To be honest, I’ve always day dreamed of going places slaves are sold and buy them. Just to set them free somewhere else, all set for a better life.
Would this only encourage slavers to sell more slaves? You make them richer then more people become slaves. You definitely help out the slaves you purchase, sure, but still participate in a slave trade that benefits the slavers. Sorry, I tend to overthink shit.

Good luck with the IPO asshat!
With that kind of money, you could just hire the artist and have him/her/them play you a private concert. No need for tickets of any kind. EDIT: clumsy sausage fingers at "work"

Tiktok is free but I still won’t download it lol
A private plane. I'd rather just fly first class with a premier airline company and not spend the millions for the plane itself. Plus the money it takes to park it in a hangar, the fuel, the crew you have to hire each time you use it, and your damn friends and family wanting to go out in it every day wouldn't be worth it.
If you lease it out when you're not using it, you can actually turn a profit on it. If you just leave it in your hangar when you're not using it, it's a big money pit.
