Haha... You're rivaling Alky for financial stupidity.

<Alky> I gots the money, so I spends the money and like everyone to know </Alky>

Have you bought an old M3 yet? Waiting to hear about your white knight story about a girl and her 3 children that you "met" over Craigslist.

I never said I was a financial guru. This was just something I had read about.

If you don't have enough money, what's the solution? You make more money. You make more, you live on a set amount and pocket the rest. The problem is too many people are trying to make it work on $50k a year. And, as we all know $50k isn't a lot of money. There is no secret. You just make more money.

I wish I would have asked some of our wealthier clients how they did it. We had a guy who frekin owned his own island. How do you get so super rich that you're able to pull that off, while most of Americans struggle day to day. He's obviously do something different/right while many of us are doing the wrong things. Maybe it's because we continue to follow what we've been taught in school.

Go to college
Get a "secure job"
Put money away in a 401k
Buy a house.
Become middle class

This is where that scarcity mindset comes in. Look at many people who clip coupons. Why? If I want to buy it I'm going to do it without wasting time on coupons. Because I know that I can always get more money. The people who clip coupons are projecting scarcity. That there is only enough money and that's it.

*Just my opinion. No need to get all strung out and mad at me because I made a comment that you may not agree with.

Not mad. Certainly you're entitled to your opinion. I just don't understand what your opinion is. Are you suggesting that being cheap means you can't ever have more money? That's what it sounds like you're trying to say. "Projecting scarcity" - I have no clue what you're trying to say by this, and it seems to be the crux if your comment.

Do you mean that if you believe you can never make more money you will never make more money? That's something that sounds reasonable, imo, but has absolutely nothing to do with clipping coupons or how cheap a person is. I can throw money around all day but that doesn't mean I will make more money. I just don't understand what you're trying to say.
 
With the blender, I noticed that I need to really go hard on liquids. In that, I need to add *a lot* of liquids. Otherwise it just creates a seriously frozen treat, if it even blends. Blender gets all unhappy and starts making some seriously bad sounds. I mean, I get blenders make sounds like they're murdering a pig when it's going down but for reals this is loud. Little smelly sometimes too. Like the motor is burning up a bit. But the thing has a warranty and a automatic shutoff, so I imagine it'd stop if it ever got bad.

I've also learned that more liquid means that it'll be a better smoothie too. If it's too frozen it's like having a mega frozen slurpee or something, the only stuff that gets through the straw is what you jab the straw through. (Suction doesn't pull in surrounding liquid because it's too cold/frozen)

I'm glad to be learning a bit about making good smoothies though. So far it's all pretty good stuff. Not a fan of apple juice in my smoothies though. Taste ain't good to me.

Strawberry, mango, and lemonade is pretty good stuff. I do like 8oz strawberry, 4-8oz mango, 10-12 oz of lemonade... 3-4 oz of ice (It's gonna just be water soon. Ice makes the blender jam up too easily). I add in banana and mix the portions up a bit. Bananas ain't my jam tho. So... we'll see what I do. Trying to find the right combo. This shit is pretty sugary right now. Too much for me.
 
Hook up the motor from you're BMW thinking of buying to the blender for your next big monetary mistake and report back again 🙂

Maybe you can blow that engine making a smoothie.

Enquiring minds are enquiring OP.
 
They were on clearance. Rather than paying $130+ for road bike shoes, I paid $65. No one knows they're womens shoes.
 
I'm too lazy to go through all those links but how much in total did you spend? I've been pricing solar systems and it's crazy how cheap it's getting. I found some small 4-5kw ones for like 14k - batteries included. If you spent more than that, realize that you could have used that money towards a real investment like solar. 😛
