Why you're broke

Old enough to be without sympathy.

 

WTH is that?

 

You get it at the same shop as muffler bearing and Harley Sportster coolant hoses. Next to the blinker fluid.

 

Some people collect stamps. I collect unread email. I'm going for the world record.

 

Roadracing motorcycles...................thats why im broke.

 

Girls haircuts are nuts.

I have an employee, a guy, who NEVER cooks. He either eats cereal, microwave food, or takeout/restaurant food. He’s 36.

 

There are a lot of women that need pizzas multiple times a week

@Anchovie

 

Well that's a good reason and certainly acceptable.

 

One man's garbage is another man's treasure.
Shall I send you my trash file?

 

Title should be "Why some people are broke."

 

Man all my money goes to tires

 

My guesstimate of my monthly:

Restaurant meals (as in dine-in): 100. Maybe 120. Much prefer to home cook.

Drinks: $0. No Sturbucks... no gas station fountain bullshit...

Drinks (assuming this includes home stock alcohol?): 120

Takeouts/delivery: Guilty... probably 2x a week, so 120?

Buying lunch: $0. Carry my lunch every day. Once in a blue moon I buy a jr burger at a fast food joint

Impulse purchases: WTF? $0

Rideshares: $0 haven't even been in a taxi in 20+ years

Personal grooming: $20 maybe. Shampoo, Dial liquid refill soap, Toothpaste, toothbrush, and a cheap bic disposable razor replaced every couple weeks, use shampoo instead of shaving cream, buzz my own hair with a trimmer.

Subscription boxes: No

Cable: No effin idea. I just bend over & take it. Bundled TV & internet. Once I found a reliable internet provider I've just stuck with them. Could be 200. Could be 300. Don't care. I need reliable internet.

Online shopping: Does this count the 10 ounce silver bar that was delivered today? Why is online shopping different than brick & mortar? I don't buy anything I don't need either way.

 

The biggest thing I waste money on is lunches at work. I really need to fuckin pack, I blow like $100 a week MIN. Way wasteful, that savings alone is top notch tires for a whole season

 

Restaurant meals (as in dine-in): $0

Drinks: $0 ever spent on alcohol. Mt. Dew only bought by the on sale case or on sale 2 liter. $30

Takeouts/delivery: $0. We like to cook.

Buying lunch: $35. Lunch once a week on Monday trips to the office.

Impulse purchases: $0

Rideshares: $0

Personal grooming: $40. Haircuts and normal cleanliness items.

Subscription boxes: No

Cable: $69

Online shopping: I don't buy shit unless something is broken but if I had to guess and average. $100.

 

Holy moly Ken, did someone fill you in that you can't take it with you when you die? Live a little and take the lil lady out to dinner at least every other week.

 

Restaurant meals (as in dine-in): $150-180

Drinks: Included in restaurant

Takeouts/delivery: $0.

Buying lunch: $40-80/month when I feel like something different than going home

Impulse purchases: $150 I like to buy cool shit

Rideshares: $0

Personal grooming: $0

Subscription boxes: wife fell for one for the dog $15

Cable: $65 - innernet, no cable here ($14 Netflix and $14 Prime)

Online shopping: no other than store shopping but amazon is cheaper and i don’t have to leave the house $200
Bike parts $150

All that stuff is budgeted for and after putting $ away for savings

 

$0 on personal grooming? You don't bathe/shave/brush your teeth?

 

Umm yeah at home ... but I don’t pay someone for that. Beard and head - electric trimmer. That’s about it.
I don’t buy shampoo. Just take the small bottles at hotels with me , when I’m on business trips. I get toothpaste from my dentist...
