What is it me thinking about money?

Whenever i see something awsome, doesn't matter what, i'll instantly think of how expensive it is.

Example, i was at the local circuit care at Zalužani here, and i saw some awsome Yugo's. For those who dont know, every year there is a race here of around 20-30 Yugo's to celebrate the best car the Balkans have seen. Well, its awsome.

One of them had AP Racing brakes. Best racing brakes money can buy. Instantly when i saw them, i thought of it how expensive they are. That's the first thing that crossed my mind. Then i thought how that Yugo will win, and how the brakes perform well. It did win.

The next day, i saw 2 Titan's in a dude's rig. What did cross my mind first? 

"Holy shit this dude has a shitload of money"

I also saw a Porsche Spider in town. What?

"This dude has a SHITLOAD of money to buy a Porsche. Where does he work? What's his education? Is he from out-of-country?"

 

If i see a 5960X in a signature i assume the signature owner is rich as fuck.

Fuck money, i hate it.

One of the lessons I learned as a young child. You have to stop dreaming about what others have, and being jealous. You need to start apprciating what you do have. For there are others in far worse positions than you.

But then if we had no money in existence, people would start buying Veyrons like crazy and make everything worthless

Capitalism.

But I think the same about stuff that interests me, games. (all, retro and new) and pokemon stuff.

I immediately think about what I would pay.

I need that to come up with good prices at flea markets.

It's because you are probably poor?

Maybe it will make you feel better but i have usually the same.

Also a reason why i want to go to highschool, so i can get a good job and NOT SUFFER FROM THAT O_O

I have so many dreams, and i am so young. I really want to make my dreams reality, will cost a lot, but well, hopefully "dream on" won't be needed anymore in the future.

This is my problem, i se you have a beefy PC and a lot of money, making me jelaous, and fucking my mind up. I think this is all part of being a broke student whos dad is an asshole and does not wanna give his son money. Not even 30$, literally, im begging him for 30$ to buy a long range WiFi Antenna. He HAS money, but he DOES NOT wanna give any. Asshole.

I'm the same way. I always think about what things cost.

 

That said, I have become incredibly efficient at spending money.

Eh agree and disagree. I see a modified foxbody and I'm like damn I want that. I set goals and work a way to that. I want new parts for my pc. What do I do? I go work my ass off to get to that goal. I'm 18 about to head off to college, and I'm set up to pay cash for a house for the second year. Why? Because I work and set all of it aside, because owning a paid off house at 19 Is what I want

Then again that's only if you'll work for it. Looking at others stuff and not working for it is fine, but don't want it to be "oh I'm poor and sad" attitude

I am stuck with a Q6600 and a GT610, and every time i go to a PC parts store, i always look at those graphics cards and PC parts, but my dad doesn't wanna spend even 50 bucks on a decent GPU. But then again, i'm perfectly happy with my system, excluding the GT610.

THats awsome, but i have a 5 year old single core laptop, that is AMD based, which overheats, and if i put more than XP on it it takes a shit.

Stealing neighbours WiFi for over 2 years now, because our own WiFi is 1mbps and he does not wanna buy faster. Live in a concrete house, ping is min 600ms on home wireless.

I literally came to the neighbours and asked for their WiFi password to complete school work, because mine was shit.

Get a job. McDonalds is stupid flexible. I worked 1 4 hour shift a week to get 50% off food. And that 4 hours was just working a cash register making 8.40$ a hour. Not bad at all.

To young to work? Go mow 2 yards

I'm the polar opposite, I look at people who have cheaper equipment, materials etc and get annoyed by the fact that I spent way more on something that I feel that I may not need or that I'm too spoiled or undeserved.
