Date: April 19th, 2018 1:11 PM Author: Diverse hot native How do you spend that much on games? What are you buying? What cosplay shit are you buying? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953896&forum_id=2#35874808) |
|
Date: April 19th, 2018 1:13 PM Author: obsidian passionate university giraffe I bought a PS4 pro and a flatscreen 4K TV to take advantage of it, so that added a lot. Also bought a PS Vita.
A lot of my $$$ was basically catching up on the library through various sales (I own most of the library for both systems now). |

Date: April 19th, 2018 1:11 PM Author: obsidian passionate university giraffe by eating out almost every single day. groceries = picking up alcohol and shit like greek yogurt. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953896&forum_id=2#35874806) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 1:11 PM Author: obsidian passionate university giraffe I excluded the mortgage payments and interest because they're largely balanced out by the rent I get back. the main effect of this is to lower my tax burden.

Date: April 19th, 2018 1:18 PM Author: Drab property why arent you married with children?
(oh first year of biglaw... didnt see that.. never mind..) |
|
Date: April 19th, 2018 1:19 PM Author: obsidian passionate university giraffe in my original life plan, I wanted to be married with a kid by age 22. this failed for various reasons, largely due to rapid social changes around me that have made such a plan impossible. just the massively elevated expectations arm-race of both men and women in our modern hypergamous winner-take-all-society have made human connections impossible.
now I am old and nihilistic, ready for all libs to pay for what they have done to society. |
|
Date: April 19th, 2018 1:21 PM Author: Drab property 180. libs and tech are destroying society. make money, save money, play video games, what else can you do in this shit society we are currently in, right? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953896&forum_id=2#35874914) |
|
Date: April 19th, 2018 1:22 PM Author: obsidian passionate university giraffe mfcr about tech.
tbqf, I was probably the first generation to suffer through this. I grew up in Palo Alto and basically almost all of my interactions with other children was intensely mentally ill.
now I poast. |

Date: April 19th, 2018 1:18 PM Author: Aphrodisiac topaz immigrant Fasting helps clarify your thinking. You should consider doing a 30 or 60 day fast. I've done one before in the Sinai desert and it was rewarding. I'm starbucks, btw (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953896&forum_id=2#35874892) |
|
Date: April 19th, 2018 1:27 PM Author: obsidian passionate university giraffe I think I might die with a 60 day fast lol. like not from fasting (fasting is safe & good for you), but I don't have THAT much body fat to lose.
