Is this the real world? A guy was complaining he can't afford a monthly metro pass or power strip

Posted by Hotkiss (aka hotkiss7348) Jun 12 '09, 06:19

but is seriously considering buying two $300+ watches and a trip to Puerto Rico. He has to buy a 2-week pass because that's how often he gets paid. He also has a little son.

Gawd, is this how we got into this economy?

Yup. People have messed up priorities. Trying to live "the lifestyle" is such bullshit. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:22 14

  - Pay dad rent??? -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:28 12
    - uh, lots of people pay rent to their parents. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:29 8
      - my parents would rather pay for us to live elsewhere. Although at the present time I pay my own rent, cant say the same for my bro's family. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:33 4
        
        It's awesome that your parent's have the ability to help their kids out, as they see fit. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:35 1
        
        I know, true. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:37
        
        I'd sleep in my car first. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:33 1
        
        I've thought about that, but I really dont want cat hair all over my car. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:36
      - yeah, but i'd probably throw my kid out if he/she couldn't pay rent for that reason.. -- nm - colin Jun 12, 06:33 2
        
        I agree. If they are working and their income provides them with the rent then there is no excuse not to pay. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:34
        
        hell yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:34
    - Not me, his tenants in NY when we lived there. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:29 2
      - ahh gotcha -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:30 1
        
        Stacy... - lileve Jun 12, 06:32
