He doesn't need your logic - it's not the real point of the thread. Otis's hobby is getting people to argue with him on the internet, which is apparently the biggest adrenaline rush going for the average working class dude in Louisiana these days once the drinking and whoring is done with. Am I right otis? |
You are correct, sir.
And I AM working class.
I'm far from a millionaire. I make about 1500 a week. So four grand hurts. |

Here's some info. that can change your life: Your wealth is not measured in terms of dollars, but in terms of how long you can afford to live your current lifestyle if you were to never work again.
So let's see, you spent $4K on a TV (which has already depreciated at least 10% in value, so you lost $400), and now you have to work your butt off. Hey, what if you don't have any work for a month? How long can you afford to keep up the rent payments, food on the table, etc.?
Can you even afford to go a month without working and maintaining the same lifestyle? I know people who make over $1 million per year and if the money were to stop coming in, they wouldn't even last 3 months. Yet, I know people who make $250K/year, and they can last 3 years. You're more like the former.
So no need to boast. Anyone here who knows how to handle money doesn't think you're "cool" at all. By the way, I paid over 20K for my TV, and without working, I can still maintain my current lifestyle for more years than you've been teaching. I don't have to hustle my ass off until Thanksgiving, worrying whether or not my family's future financial situation is going to be in trouble because of a stupid television. |
Blah, blah, blah, blah...

Been there and done it.
When you get a job on your own merits, give me a call, little one.

I won't know till October 9th. That's when they are delivering it.
It's a special order.
Best Buy didn't have it in stock. |

Well, if this is the TV you're getting (I didn't see any other 65 inch TVs on Best Buy's website) and if you paid 4 grand for it, you paid about $1000 bucks too much for it.

That's exactly what I bought.
But I also bought a television stand and a home theatre with surround sound.
That cost me another grand. |

Just curious, and I'm not being hostile, but what is the attraction of signing a post on an internet discussion forum with 'Me'?
I think 'nonymous gay sex' is where you know each other's names. |
lol.  To be honest, I don't have the faintest idea. |

I thought 4 grand was pretty reasonable for a 65 inch HD TV.
I was going to pay 10 grand on a Sony. |
Don't you upstage me, little Korean man.
We're talking about my four grand. I'm rubbing it in the noses of all these English teachers.
I can't compete with a little Asian man whose parents own businesses in Los Angeles. |
I'm not korean nor am I little.
And I've never been to Los Angeles.
But I love big screens. |

If you hate money so much, why do you keep making posts about how much you spend? A $300 meal here, a $4000 TV there... hmmmm... Gee, I wonder if you really hate money, or just hate that others might not know how much you have.  |
Are you jealous? |
Have a second look at your avatar. |

| You obviously enjoy money if you are willing to spend 4000 dollars of it on a luxury item when you could have gotten something decent for a 1/4 of the price. You don't hate money, my friend: it sounds like you love it almost more than the rest of us. Who else on this board would spend 4000 for a TV...very few I'd have to say. |
Listen. It's not my fault if I can afford to blow 4000 dollars. The reason most people on this board wouldn't spend four thousand dollars on a tv is quite obvious. Most people who post here don't have the credit to buy a 400 dollar bike. |
So you admit you charged it because you don't have the 4000$? |

| four grand? hahaha what are you rubbing in our noses? A pathetic little sum? I just put down 60 grand on a place to live, planning to put down another 15 grand on furnishing it, and 5 grand on camera and lens for myself for christmas. Your 4 grand is a pathetic little sum, just as pathetic as you are. |
Yeah. It is nothing to brag about when you consider how much some of us home owners have paid for our concret boxes in Korea. |
