re: You're all sleeping but I've made a huge mistake - please help

wtf golfer, shut up already, im not walking all over the guy im just pointing out what i see in his post, im sorry ive clearly flustered you this morning if you'd like i can delete the pic of my car and we can pretend it never happened and I can go back to being an anonymous internet guy with his life in shambles.

I really thought this might be the first troll on the money board,but sad to realize this might be real.

But you can explain all that to him without being a condescending a-hole and the "look at me my life is perfect" attitude.

The "look at me my life is perfect" wasn't in reference to the OP it was in reference to Sigma and Dr Edge, the resident financial gurus on here, especially doc edge who assumed I would soon have financial issues of my own when I chose to have kids

It'll be fun reading your posts in a few years after you have kids...between running your own business and your doctor wife, it'll be great to read about all of the predictable financial issues you will encounter, and it'll also be refreshing to read about whose career y'all decide to end or put on hold for several years to make sure your kids aren't raIsed by "the maid" as you put it.

so being that he knew nothing about me or my situation, and that i so happened to be driving a near $400k car at that moment, I had to do a little internet pwnage while I was doing nothing but waiting in the drive thru line. I never once meant to rub it in the OPs face, just dr know it alls.

You will burn a hell of a lot of bridges backing out.

Good for you....live YOUR life the way it makes you happy. Quit measuring your success by other folks' yardsticks. Others may say suck it up and stick it out, but better to walk away before you're in deep rather than muddle through a year and then walk away.

Those $100k humanities professorships are like hens teeth. UT is one of the best funded public schools in the country....such jobs are insanely competitive. Competition at that level isnt for everyone.

You seem like a massive douche

Well you clearly haven't run the numbers on ownership which would include laying out $379,000 + tax and tying up your money in a depreciating asset that is not liquid at all when its time to sell hence why people lease such things.. So even if you did,thats assuming you know what percentage of my income $36,000 is, so considering the fact you dont, its silly to make assumptions. I have a couple other cars too if it makes you feel better, I drive a regular suv to work on a daily basis, Im not going in that car. Ive said many times on here I own 5 gas stations and a ton of rental properties. I think if you took the time to take a guess at what my net worth is or what I make annually you'd see that $36,000 isn't going to make or break me, and actually I leased the car after I set a little personal goal for myself. I went from having an ATM company handling my 5 machines paying me $100 a month per machine to owning the machines myself and making a hell of a lot more. Life is all about setting goals and accomplishing them, me rewarding myself with a little toy for doing that isn't a big deal. I guess its upset you, I personally love the car and considering I own my home and over 20+ total properties including 5 that are functioning businesses, Im sure it fits under whatever financial metrics you want to measure me by, I recently posted that I just added 3 section 8 houses last month for $165,000 total that pay me $2,796/mo total those alone would pay for the car if I wanted. I think you should worry about how much you make and spend before judging others who live life the way they choose.

Is it ridiculous if one earns 7 figures annually? To me that sounds exactly like someone who makes $100k a year paying $300/mo to lease a car? Right, is that not what the numbers say? If you make $100k a year is it ok to pay $300/mo to lease a car? Now extrapolate that to a larger income and you'd see its fine. Again you don't know me or my income so no matter what you say its silly. I could easily be worth $20m+ you wouldn't know

Lol you'd complain about just anything, so would anyone who says stuff like you just said. Is it silly when people pay $30k round trip for a private jet flight thats say 4 hours? I bet you think thats silly too. Some people work hard, and play harder, no need to hate on them.

Donald Trump? Is that you?
