Yep - add $30ish to your bill each month to pay for the phone and you can turn it in after a year for the next new phone. Rinse & Repeat. This became the new norm after they stopped offering subsidies on phones - used to be able to get a new iPhone for $199 but not anymore.

Yup, true, people will be like $1000 for a phone, pfffft I'll make my $42 monthly payments and I won't even know I'm paying $1000. Then trade it in for a year, and I won't pay $1000. Just don't drop your phone or you'll be assed out.

You can lease anything these days. I'm waiting for when you can lease a prostitute.

McDonald's. I always told myself my kids would never eat that shit.

That didn't last, they have it every now and then.

I get McDs maybe once a month for the kiddos..
Usually breakfast when Mom want's one of their crappucinos..
I use real maple syrup for their cakes tho..

Once in a while we'll submit to requests for mcnuggets and fries..
But yeah, fuck McDs.. Oh shit!

Majofo

I hate getting fast food in general.. My guilty pleasure is jack in the crack (heh, jack in the crack) tacos
..and once in a while.. I'm like.. I haven't had the shit in a while
Taco Bell

Majofo

GTFO.. how does that even work???!?!?!?

I'm not a fan of fast food too.

Can't do Taco Bell, or I'll be shitting all day.

In N out would be my go to Fast Food joint. Plus, it's cheaper than MCD's.

Buy now, pay later.

Majofo

Taco.. you could always just make Tobey proper meals
Vets are always like buy dog food.. fuck off ho..
Just make sure you balance fats so not too rich and very little salts.
Sweet potatoes, some lean cuts of meat.. shiett.. just meal plan him.

We all are making poor financial decisions. We all drive cars and put over priced gas in it.

Just steal gas from your neighbors' car. That's a smart financial decision.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Yup, I used to do that before I had kids.

Shit, I don't even have time to meal plan for myself.

I saved money.

thoiboi

The fuck... I just put 87 in

Majofo

I had to check out that site.. wtfshit?!?!?
10% and 30% APR simple interest

They have many merchants including jomashop
Hit the rollie store with my rollie on..

thoiboi

You guys overpay for 91?!? Suckers...

thoiboi

Instant gratification can be very expensive

Majofo

Just pay down loan..

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Their 91 is our 87..... Prices anyway.

Majofo

Shiettt... :thief:

thoiboi

Not even sometimes... I've seen their 91 be cheaper than our 87 by a dollar

I'm thinking on creating a formula for 69 octane.

thoiboi

It's called adding water. Add 18 cups if running 87, .

87 - 18 = 69.


Maff checks out

TacoBello

Actually, there was a time I did that after I just got him... since he hated the good dog foods and he was still super young, I would cook his meals... but it's expensive, long term. I will reconsider it... see if I can make some quality food for him at a reasonable cost.

I'm so tired of my phuckin internet company.

iPhone every year program. You get the newest phone every year and send back the old model

Also, looked into that Simpli safe system. I likes, I would only have to pay $400 for the equipment, but then I will own it. I just wish the keypad was a littler more "up to date"

Make sure to delete all nudes.

I bought a phone off Ebay once and the person didn't do a hard reset. I saw some nudes, but it was of a dude with a hairy ass....

Probably did that shit in purpose.

so, basically it's just a repackaged credit card. gotcha...Affirm, you so sneaky

kurtatx

That was me. I knew you would appreciate it

TacoBello

So what happens with the "old" phones? There must be millions of them that get returned every year.

I bet they just reuse the internal components, change the screen and case a bit, and voila! New iphone46!

thoiboi

They sell it to poor people

thoiboi

Come on taco it isn't that hard to understand

TacoBello

Also, you guys taking your kids to McD's... I think it's all good. Not on the regular... not any fast food on a regular. But once a month? Shiiiiiet... I'm sure the kiddos are more than fine. That, and their taste buds must be in a state of euphoria when they bite into a cheeseburger. Mmmm.....
