I agree Yum...eat at home...but when we go out...we go to nice places with damn fine food...

I have more golf clubs than any single human being needs...like 30 putters and 30 wedges...but that's my passion so...and my golf clothes, I need to be a scratch dresser!

If it wasn't implied.. I mean't 10 used GT-Rs.

You can buy a 2010 CTS-V with ~40k miles for 34k right now. Not effing bad considering it's a track monster and kid hauler. A wagon on the other hand is not to be found for less than 44k.

But, hey...worked hard to get to where I'm at. Gonna enjoy life a bit too.
Bring lunches...... I usually do that and try not to eat out as much.

34K for that car isn't bad for sure, but 34K was above my cheapass budget. Plus, there is bound to be a putter that will lower my scores coming out soon.

I eat quality, put quality fluids in my car, quality tires on the wheels, and live a quality life. You need to take care of yourself. Don't get cheap where it counts.

People try to tell me that vacations are useless. You spend $3000 on a vacation and 7 days later your back to reality with 3k out of your pocket.

That's easy. Cuz, can often be cheap bastids.

And to a degree, OVERDOING trips can be a waste of money because well, each time somewhere far is a couple grand.


But, if it's within your means to...sure, why not? This planet has so much to explore and see.





I can ski alright. Won't attempt to say I'm a pro.

Or another way of looking at my ski-skills: Ski, yes. Stop, no.


Okay, I'm not that bad. But, that simplifies it.

I've boarded a couple times and yeah, at some later point, you just want to stay down. Too. Much. Pain.



Just leave me. I'm fine dying on this mountain. Leave me.

Anyway, true or not, sounds like a major douche knuckle.

I believe in NICE clothes. Not EXPENSIVE clothes. I don't give a fuck what name is on it. I don't give a fuck if it's from Wally World or Hugo. If it fits good and it looks good and it's priced appropriately, that's all that counts.

Was at West Ed mall the other day with wifey... Looked through Simons... Found a nice sweater for $39.99, on sale for $29.99. Looked good, well priced, fit fantastic, and if it falls apart next week, zero fucks given. Went to a baller store a little bit later in the same mall (hey, I was caught by the 50% off sign, lol). I swear to god, the sweater I bought and the one I was looking at looked near identical. The difference? That one costed $300 and was on sale for $150. Same material too (Marino wool, if I'm not mistaken). Fuck that. Some people are absolutely brain dead when it comes to shopping.

To each their own, indeed. But I bet you she has a nice $300 sweater in her closet, lol. And yes, I don't understand this mentality either.

I loooove me some snowboarding. I don't mind skiing either, but I prefer snowboarding. I used to go a shit ton every year, but as of late, not so much. Only got out once so far this year and loved every minute of it. Hope to go another two times before the mountains close up for the year.

I'm a big fan of tree riding (aka, go riding between the man made runs). That's where you always find at least a foot of powder no matter the conditions (because who the fuck ventures into the trees?), it's super technical and pretty slow, but so much fun. The few people who know that's the best place to find the best snow help make the run that much better... After a few of the pesky branches get knocked down, it's all good!
