so last night my ma called me and said , turn on suzie orman, there's a guy asking her about 25th joes.. so i watched it, and the dudes name was sam, i was curious if sam was a member here. he was asking her if he should spend 500 on 4 variants, pdd, black timber, yellow stalker and not sure the of the other. but she didn't respond like we all would want her to.
she asked how many of these he has already, he replied 80, and she asked how much he spent, he said retail , like 6 or 7 a pop. she bugged out lol.. i was like damn that chick would go into cardiac arrest if she heard how many i had lol.. 80x7= nothing to what i spent lol.. that probably equals to what i spent in the first week i found out joes were back.. i was just curious if sam was a member here, and i seen your budget, and seen how much you have saved and in retirement, i say don't mind her, that 500 will not break you.. spend it if you can afford it. you can spend 500 on a stereo, a new sink, a new lawn mower and a weed wacker, or even a 368 dollar gazeabo will she freak over that? we all spend 500 here on shit we actually don't need, we spend it cause we want it.. if you want it, get it. if you can not afford it, then bite ya lip and let it pass. i say buy it buddy.. and i say f you suzie.. P.S before any idiot that thinks he's got the answer, like well you need a sink and lawn mower, i say this, you do not need a 500 dollar sink or lawn mower, a cheap one is what you need, we buy the better, nicer looking ones cause why class? cause we WANT IT.. again F YOU SUZIE. sammy buy dem joes..

all things in moderation but life is too short to make yourself miserable in hopes of having a wonderful last ten years of your life.

I was watching Orzman last night for a couple minutes and caught that piece.
Dude had only 1,000 in retirement but had something like 69K in investments and his income was way above average. Orzman in my opinion wasn't giving monetary / financial advice, she was basically saying grow-up and stop buy G.I. Joe toys. If you listen to finanicial advisors you will never impulse buy or buy something for the sheer intrinsic value. The caller, Sam, was trying to say that these were toys that he wanted as a kid and there was more to the purchase than just investment purposes. I thought Orzman was a little bit of a bitch to the caller actually. So, Sam, if you are here on the Tank....buy those toys, just move some of the cash you make with your investment portfolio to pad your retirement. Shut-up Suz..... |

Absolutely none. But the caller Sam called in for advice from her (why else would the caller call in?). So she gave advice. Nothing Sam has to do.
You know, it's like others have said; you can't take money with you, so decide however you feel best to spend it. My personal opinion is if you have the cash, and have no debt or manage it well, have savings, and put food on the table and pay bills then you can do whatever your heart desires. To each his/her own. |

Now if there was someone that was middle-class, made middle-class money, middle-class housing/cars/living/etc..
Dealt with the same issues we all do on a regular basis, that is someone that I'd listen to for financial advice.
