Mercer Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 im currently debating if i want to pay an extra $300/mo in rent to live closer to work. (i live only 7 miles away curretly and takes me about 25 min. to and from work b/c i hit every single fucking red light) the spot is a block and a half from my office - which would equal me being able to: a. eat at home during lunch b. take naps at home during lunch c. wake up real late and make it into the office in a timely manner d. wouldn't have to drive mah new hoopty in traffic/around much at all yea or nay? I'll put it like this, if the place is nicer than your current pad, and you plan on working there for at least till the lease is up, yes, yes, and yes. You'd probably get something back as far as wear and tear on the vehicle, gas money, and possibly insurance. But having an extra 25 minutes in the morning and 25 after work is about an hour roughly per day. Lets say you work 5 days a week and 4 weeks a month that's 20 hours a month saved. So that's 15 dollars an hour, you have to ask yourself if your time worth $15 an hour? If someone offered me $15 to drive my own vehicle for an hour and pay for the gas myself I'd turn it down. Cliff notes, get that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 thats never a problem. put on an honest face with a bit of desperation - clenched teeth/hurried look "may i use your bathroom? i was going to buy something anyway, ill do that after" (if youre not a crustpunk/an obvious bum, they never say no) shit/piss, stylize bathroom with mandatory rap letters, then walk out a winner they try to charge you to take a piss - you buy fuck all & get over on them in europe you gotta pay for public bathrooms like at the metro and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain dew Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 in europe you gotta pay for public bathrooms like at the metro and such Hotel Bathrooms are the way to go... walk in like you are staying there, head down some hallway in lobby and find a nice clean bathroom. Usually has some nice music too. works best in 3 Star + places... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityonSMASH Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 ya i definatly dont go to far out of my way for saving a penny here and a penny there in day to day purchases. of course imma look around when dropping cake on something of value where the difference is of $50 and more. used to a date a girl years and years ago that was horrible for shit like this. such a fucking penny pincher to this point of idiocy. that being said i did take a little something from her on my spending stupidities and learned sometimes its dumb not to. but come on, being cheap is a horrible. horrible trait and if your one of these people and either dont know or dont understand how people perceive this/you, ya need to know. your annoying, and people think less of you. one thing that has to be noted is the fact these rules apply to people with money and not going thru hardtimes... that is a whole other topic. but you can till be broke as fuck and not be cheap without being lame. ie:not partacing in whatever rather than doing so and when the bill comes being illusive and/or cheeseball about it. another thing that drives me nuts are the "it must be nice" people. by no means im a rich, well off or set for life. let me stress this again, by no means. in fact i lived most of my life without much in my pocket, but you get out of life what you put in when yer a regular dude that aint got no bills paid for em or a trust fund. and the combination of using yer head. having drive and an ethic to make shit happen in turn, good things come around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 ah. To placate the girl you could always plan ahead. For instance, you plan on drinking saturday.... tuesday night you are grocery shopping.... pick up your beer ahead of time. But really. The time it takes and the gas you burn cancels out savings more often than not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i spent the night in jail in Tijuana for pissing outside. One of the cops didn't even have a gun or a badge shit was sketchy as fuck. Me too. minus the night in jail. They just took my money (about $150) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 i don't even think it's about paying for convenience. to me, paying for convenience is like paying extra for a single serving of a perishable good, or paying more for food because it's served quickly, or more for a drink because it's served in a to-go cup. .or for that matter, paying extra for a phone you can carry and use anywhere, or paying for a toll, or public restrooms etc. not driving a million miles out of the way for something that is cheaper is good time management, or proper money management, since you lose the extra cash you've saved in wasting it to get to a place that is further away. plus as you mentioned, the time is invaluable i think it's because these people are obsessed with the finding of a bargain, and it has little or nothing to do with actual savings.

SwampFightOner Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 You spent a night in Mexican jail rather than cough up $200? Shit, I woulda rubbed that in my chest and thought of it as $200 very well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 there was no question. They took what i had. If i had 500 in my pocket thats probably what they would have got. Same time i had $9,800 hidden very well in my hotel room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
