Damn them for taking the time to enjoy a little small talk and actually enjoying the drive.


Careful what you say about old people. I can't even remember 18- my current age of 29. I just blinked and it was gone.

The catch is that credit cards are not new. Old people should know how to use them by now, but they still like to pay with cash and count pennies. Credit cards were very popular in the 1960s, and I remember an episode of I Dream of Jeannie where she was going crazy with a credit card because she thought it was free money.

Old people are not stupid. They're just assholes. They know how to use a credit card, they might know how to use a debit card, but they choose to hold up the line because they want to make the world feel as horrible as they do. They also drive like retards because they want everyone to be as scared as they feel when they see black people or young people on the TV.



That and it doesn't matter if you crash and die. When you're 20, you have your whole life ahead of you. When you're 30, you have a wife and kids that need you around. When you're 80, fuck it. Anything goes. I'll drive 100 mph everywhere with no seat belt in a car with no air bags.

LMFAO

Srs or srsly retarded?

in RE the financial stuff, old people are on a fixed income so they're not going to use credit cards and they're going to use coupons, spare change, dicker around about prices, sales, and other things like that.

Instead of grumbling about the seniors holding up the line at the grocery store, you should be picking up widows for charity fucking. Get with it son :p.

Actually old people are statistically the wealthiest people. This is why old people drive around in Lincolns and Cadillacs while young people like me drive in gay cars like the Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris. Old people typically own a house while young people like me do not.

Being rich as fuck is generally what happens when you work for 50 years.

So, social security? New concept for you? I think it has been around awhile.

o rly? and what exactly is a "debt card"?

You are the 1st poster to point out my spelling error. Congratulations sir!

And you could have just edited your 1st post instead of making an entirely new one to add in your dumbass comment.

google: age vs net worth


Here is a trend you will see in every first world nation. People are at their peak when they retire then it slowly declines. Very few people run out of money.

The above graph is from CNN Money (USA). Below is a graph from the government of Canada showing the exact same trend in a different country.

Those poor old people. I hope to god I'm never that poor. Can you imagine how much that must suck? Like you sell your house to move into some kind of provided care facility and you only have a quarter million dollars? This is like Auschwitz, but slightly better because it doesn't have so many jews. :awe:

All kinds of people run out of money now because they are living 20 years longer than anyone thought they would.

I find that the people with food stamps hold me up worse than old people. They are always trying to beat the system. You are not allowed to buy alcohol or name brand crap asshole!
