Me and the friends love going out to our local lake to kayaking, and bring out own ice chest with snacks and beer. The cost to charge our cars to drive there is about 50 cents. This can easily burn up a day.
We also like getting on our ebikes and bar hopping. This can be quite expensive as each beer cost 8-12 bucks. But if we hit 4 bars it was a good night for $50 bucks.
The new skate part they opened up is well built and fun, and most of the locals that hang out there are fun. Not to many shit heads.
I also love going to Dave and busters. On Sunday it's half price games so I get my fill of DDR for a couple of bucks and we get the $5 draft beers. If we are feeling hungry you can get the $20 food and game package.
My wife and I like walking through a local park multiple times a week. It's free since we also walk there.
You should write a book on how to live like you do. Some people don't know how to exist without spending money.
We get tiger for board games pretty regularly too. There are plunty to do that isn't super expensive. Even your local bar has shuffle board, jenga, and other board games you can play for free.
I'm happy you found cool stuff to do but the investment is expensive... I see an electric vehicle, a kayak, and an electric bike. That's thousands for the bike alone... Oh and that skate park requires a skateboard. Last I checked that's a few hundred dollars.
There are cheaper ways to do what you're doing of course but there's also storage concerns. Not many people that are struggling financially have space to store an entire kayak...
I appreciate you trying to get it, but it's pretty obvious that you don't.
It's weird that you don't see your regular gasoline car that yall americans have as an expensive investment.
Also, no way a cheapest ebike is thousands of bucks. I bet you can get one for the price of a couple of months of gas. Or get an acoustic one even cheaper, it will be better for your health.
Also also no way a cheap skate is hundreds.
I'm not driving a tesla S over here lol
I remember having working joints and an obedient spine.
Those were good days.
Did you forget to pay your landlord their $50 + tip so you can be inside for another day?
I really admire you looking out for the little guy. It's hard enough for a landlord to make ends meet. Most of them are living your-paycheck-to-your-paycheck. It's important to give them a little safety net for emergencies like 3rd vacations to luxury destination resorts, yachts, cosmetic surgery, personal chefs etcetera.
Sometimes the world seems so bleak. Then I see a comment like this and I think to myself, "Maybe we're gonna make it after all."
For 6 years going outside made me money so this meme just doesn't work for me. I was an autistic prostitute and every John's dong was a fidget spinner. I couldn't get enough of my job and the best part was all the outside time.
I'm sincerely happy you were able to leverage your talents into a solution that was constructive and rewarding for you, and presumably your clients.
Having said that, if I had to guess, I suspect this strategy might not be as effective for about 99.99% or more of the general population, either for lack of desire or ability.
Huh, what are the odds ...
$27.50 per movie ticket at a nearby AMC theater.
Fuck. That.
What time sloot are you trying to go for, they are usually cheaper before 4 pm, also look out for local indie theaters they are smaller but the tickets cost less and it's a better atmosphere anyway
The matinee prices range from 15 to 20% off so still a ripoff IMO. Especially when I'm more than capable of finding quality films online via other means.
They do have half price tickets on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I'm exhausted at the end of a workday.
Whoa, what?? Mine is $8.50 and I just sneak in snacks and alcohol.
House? Well la-di-da....
The rest of us will stay in our vans plugged into public outlets that the city forgot was turned on.
Getta load of Mr. Moneybags over here with a fancy van. Some of are lucky to live in a tent.
Ooooh, a tent, you say? well that must be nice. I'm in the woods using caves and making beds out of leaves.
Woods? Caves? Leaves?! What I'd give for that luxury biodiversity!
I spend every night in the open air with naught but rocks and sand for company!
Garage? Garage?! Well la di da Mr Frenchman.
H: well what do you call it?
I call it my car hold.
I thought he said car hole. But whatever I get the reference.
Hey! You're right!
Fuck this has been rent free in my head for decades and it's been wrong the whole time.
Let me tell you about my favourite song: slow talking Walter...
