It's called walking through the mall with daddy's or mommy's credit card.

Or in the case of independent adults like us, our own credit cards.

Where do you get all that money from, pro-centre boy? And given you're probably still living at home, how do you hide the cocaine from your parents? I'm sure you're just trying to pull our legs, attempting to appear as the man with the big balls

Tired of ads?

Okay, if we spend 450 dollars on sweet sweet cheeba, but then sell enough to make our money back plus a little profit, does it still count?

Aside from that, 35 dollars on headphones, 100 dollars on a beanbag chair, and 20 dollars on shrooms. So you still got me beat this week, Zylka.

Mr. Fun - I live at home, but my parents expect no rent because they love me and don't want to see me leave for another five years. Couple that with a near full time job waiting tables, and the occasional local modeling, and you have a kid who doesn't need his parents' credit card. Add his up and coming weekend dj career, and he's nearly making more than them

Echtelion - I'd love to take a picture of my turntables and home sound system, weighining in at a whopping 5 grand of IMPULSE BUYING!!! Only if someone would be so kind as to host the picture. I don't have/need a website

Zylka, that's cool that you have a couple of jobs and don't need your parents' credit card(s). But believe it or not, there are other teenagers out there who use their parents' credit cards.

Anyway, so since you claim to make more than your parents, do you ever get into high-level power struggles with them??

Look kid, when you want to talk about spending real money on real possessions, then come and brag. But "I spent over $1,000 on a bunch of worthless crap and drugs" doesn't exactly make you enviable on my part. Makes you sound pitiful, actually.

I mean, you act like a thousand bucks is big money. Get real!

You profit $25k on an 18 month house purchase and that's something to talk about. But spending a measly grand?

Btw, real men don't ask mommy's help to buy themselves a car. Real men buy cars for their mommies.

I know... and I don't pride myself all that much with spending money (well, not enough to warrant attacks from John T, at least). I'm just having a little fun and hoping others would share.

Funny though.. fight club came to my mind a few nights ago.. What a well done antithesis of this whole concept

Yeah both. Stupid and repressed Bi.

It's just that growing up it was natural to use that term in the derogatory sense. Now that it has no intrinsic meaning of "homosexual" (the fashion of hating Gay people grew old fast), it has simply turned into a term for "bad" (which was, at first, coupled with Gay). In short, faggot=f*ckhead=as*hole etc., not gay person. I am sorry for letting this lapse of my youth leak into my supposed mature age. Given this explanation, will you hold me accountable for stupid mistakes as a kid? Probably.

Sorry, Zylka. Other than the coke, you actually came away with assets from your little buying spree. True moronic splendour only lies in spending obscene amounts on ephemera which are gone almost as soon as you buy them. $750 on "private lap dances" from a stunning and skanky duo for a friend at his stag. That was money well spent.

You took 3 hours to come up with this? I'm impressed.

Hmmm. My "family tree" makes approximately $3.5 million a year:

Sister1: $100k
Sister2: $500k
Moi: $70k
Brother: $35k
Parents: $700k
Uncle: $1.1m
Maternal Grandparents: $950k
Paternal Grandparents (both are deceased)

Of course, this is household income and not assets. Assets are far, far higher - why, my grandmother alone is worth $13mil. Laura's and mine are in the low 6 figures, which is fine as we are (we hope!) still young.

Actually, I never got an allowance; instead opting for my first job when I was 13.

I find it interesting that you accuse me of "attacking" you when in this thread you have insulted peoples beliefs, sexual persuasion, and their common sense. Methinks you oughtta lay off the snow, cokehead. It's already making you unstable and paranoid.

I once bought a book on impulse. Oh, and a chocolate bar once too.

My spending habits have never really tended toward the impulsive high spender. Compared to some of my friends though, I'm a rash money guzzler that constantly has the song "Hey Big Spender" as background music.
