Clove Darkwave Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Do you avoid the drunk people since you know, vomit inside nice cars and all that? Maybe I'm paranoid, but the thought of inviting random people into my car and taking them places kind of freaks me out, and my car is a POSI considered doing this on my off days for a few hours for some extra spending money but this right here above is why I ultimately decided against it. I'm a control freak about my car, I've got rules that I expect to be followed and throwing up or stinking like beer is against them.Besides I'm pretty sure my aloof demeanor and horrible Goth music would get me fired in a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rassah Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) When he goes to a business conference he sleeps in his car?Like a homeless person? No money for a hotel room? Plenty of money for a hotel room, but why waste it when my car is comfortable enough? Hint: this is how wealthy people do shit. Go to a very wealthy area and look around at the people living there. If you see someone in a nice outfit driving a really nice car, chances are they're poor, earning a lot but living paycheck to paycheck, with their nice clothes, car, and house actually owned by a bank. If you see someone wearing shabby clothing, maybe that looks OK but seems a bit too worn, and driving an average car, or even something really old and beat up, that's the millionaire. My friend is an ex Vice President of JP Morgan Chase, who also retired and is now working in the Bitcoin space. He and I sometimes share hotel rooms to save money, and have been swapping stories on how to save money like this. Tips like how and where to sleep in cars, renting a small U-Haul truck for a day and using it as a room, avoiding expensive hotel laundry (up to $2 for a pair of socks) by bringing a zip lock of laundry detergent powder and washing your clothes in a bathtub like pressing wine with feet, buying marine batteries and inverters to avoid paying $175/day for electricity at conferences, or buying cheap Chinese air tickets way in advance in case you use them, with then being so cheap it's not a loss if you don't.When you're rich, you understand that money sitting in assets like stocks, property, and businesses, is earning you more money, making you richer every day, so it's best to leave it there and concerns your spending as much as possible. When you're poor, you have no concept of that, and think being rich is being able to afford and buying the best most expensive luxuries, which unfortunately don't do anything but depreciate over time.Though when I travel with my husband, he had enough of staying in cheap $40 motel rooms, so now I have to pay for at least a decent accommodation. Our Halloween trip to Vegas was at the Luxor, and in Bahamas we're staying at the Renaissance (4 diamond resort with a private island). I sleep in cars and stay in cheap motels so that I can afford those other places when it counts. Edited November 25, 2015 by Rassah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaraphayx Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 No wonder furries are infamous for wallowing in poverty and destitution, they have all of the financial sense of normies but none of the life skills and social connections."Now that I make more money I'm going to increase my overhead proportionally by driving an expensive car, living in an expensive house, and taking expensive vacations."It's like listening to my co-workers complain about how hard up they are for cash and how they can't "pay the bills" while they all buy fast food or eat out for lunch, drive new cars that they probably financed at an ass-raping interest rate, and have to commute 30 minutes every day because they wanted to live in a neighborhood that was WASP-y enough to make them feel safe owning a bunch of expensive shit they don't need.Meanwhile at pic related: it's me every payday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rassah Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 I know plenty of wealthy people and none of them sleep in their carsYou know wealthy people? Or you know people with a large paycheck? My parents earn a but over $100k a year each. Plus they have rental properties that earn them more money. I wouldn't consider them wealthy.Actually, easy way to test: those wealthy people you know, if they stopped working completely, how long until they run out of money? If they're truly wealthy, the answer should be they never run out of money, and will actually keep getting richer. Damnit Rassah, you can't brag about pimping out a four door family sedan, complete with vanity license plate, and then turn around to suggest that not spending money on stuff is how you get rich. You gotta pick one or the other.It was mandatory, since by the end of the year, what I spent on that car was worth over $1 million dollars. I wanted to make it seem luxurious too, considering I was driving a million dollar Prius. And I made tons of extra money then too. If you have a windfall from your investments, it's OK to spend a little once in a while. Besides, most of the work on it I did myself. Just bought the parts and took a few days to install them.

Rassah Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Because almost anyone driving for Uber doesn't have commercial insurance, thus if they get in an accident while I'm in the vehicle and I get injured, I'm fucked because the insurance will NOT cover someone caught using a personal vehicle under a personal insurance policy for commercial purposes.Uber does very little to vet the backgrounds of drivers. Cab drivers get criminal background checks before they're allowed a medallion.Taxi drivers tend to know the 'good spots' and hotel locations better than Uber drivers.Not true. Both Uber and Lyft now cover driver's with a $1 million insurance policy. As soon. As the driver starts the app in drive mode, you are covered. Personal insurance only covers while they are driving to you.Both Uber and Lyft required me to submit my entire driving record to make sure I don't have any violations, and both did an extensive criminal background check. It took 1 week for Lyft and 2 weeks for Uber. So if you have too many tickets, or a criminal history, don't bother applying.Doesn't matter about knowing good spots. Traci driver's have to know them and mostly guess. Uber and Lyft actually tells you where the areas of high demand is and gets more driver's to go there, regardless of where it is. It's all updated live constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
