What was your most blatant "I've got money" comment...

One time a wealthy friend called the power company to inquire as to why his bill was so high. A snotty, rude customer sales rep asked him didn't he realize that rates had gone up? My friend says "that's bad news for you". She asks "why", he says "because I can afford the increase, you can't" LOL

 

me too

 

I'm kinda depressed that I didn't get to spend time with my father in law at Thankgiving. I missed the annual "why you should get a Citation and not a Lear" lecture over a hot turkey sandwhich...

 

Something I heard on another thread...

 

Don't worry, it will probably come up at Christmas.

My story? A friend and I were having dinner one night. She was telling me how much trouble she was having getting a loan on the property she owned. She was pissed because the bank wouldn't let her use her double-wide for collateral. She asked me what kind of interest rate and points or whatever I had gotten on the mortgage for the house I'd just bought. I looked at her and said, "What mortgage? I paid cash." She just stared at me. I just shrugged and said "I've never had a mortgage. Come to think of it, neither has my Dad. Never had a car payment, either." And she got pissed at me!!!! I can't help it if I refuse to live beyond my means. But, I sure do sleep well at night.

 

Why pay cash? You should be able to easily beat the loan's interest rate via investment. I'd hazard a guess less than half of one percent of the world's population pays cash for their homes, if they even own a home, thus she's got decent enough of a reason to be annoyed.

 

Doody...I think I got ya beat with the comment "Don't laugh, it's paid for"!

i pay for everything in cash...

...i just haven't bought a house, yet...

 

True, if you are counting pennies. But if you spend only a small portion of your net worth on a house its really not a big deal to "just write the check" as our attorney told us at closing.

 

Both classic and classy!

So very true.

 

When some obnoxious moron starts bragging about his success, just walk up to him, ask him his net worth, pull out a silver dollar and ask him this question:

So, you're worth____________ eh? Wanna flip for it? Then just stare at him.

I assure you, if you can deadpan that one, he'll STFU!

One kid at my school just randomly, very loudly and in the middle of class, goes 'This weekend I learned to drive the Benz'. It pissed me off a lot, he does kinda flaunt his money a lot though. Made me really mad that he went around saying it, because I personally heard him say it 3 times and who knows how many more times he said it during the day...

 

Not that I do have money yet. But I took a girl out on a date to an expensive restaurant and when I got the check, made sure I pulled out the American Express card. For a 19 year old to have gotten one on their own, I think that's pretty playa!

 

Next time when the check comes ask the waiter, "Do you take traveller's checks?"

He'll tell you yes.

Then say, "Good! Take this check and travel!"

when did sizzler start taking amex.

 

I've got one too, and I'm 20. Several others too, but it's no big deal since all these compaines just sent pre approved cards out to anyone...even kids and pets. I wouldn't do that either if I were you, just attracts gold diggers.

 

Well i remember one time not to long ago.
Me and my mate were out drinking at a bar at about 6pm.
Bar was dead so we tried another.
Mate picked up a girl and her friend.
Decided a change would be good.
Got to airport and fired up my relative's brand new Bombardier Learjet 45
Headed out to Brisbane. (Yeah another state)
Landed at Brisbane @ 8pm
Hit the bars in Brisbane @ 9pm
Got pissed and came home @ 2am
Hopped into bed @ 4am
Those girls that tagged along with us didnt come back with us.....
Never heard from them again.

Fav line of the night:
Girl in Brisbane Where you guys from?
Me Umm we are from Sydney
Girl in Brisbane Sydney? You up for the weekend?
Me No, for the night
Girl in Brisbane What?
Me The wonders of owning a plane.....

Still remember the look she gave me!! Priceless!!!

 

Pretty much ever kid in Westchester has a credit card (if not two or three)- not a big deal here.. My pet peave is the kid who has a money clip (instead of a wallet) who puts a hundred on the outside and pads the inside with $1's-- and takes it out at every possibly opportunity..

 

There's a name for that..
