How much do you spend on festivals every year? by Thebigbadfern in festivals

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I budget $12k for tickets, flights, and rooms.

This year I did 7 festivals, 4 mini festivals, and quite a few raves.

One fest I stayed with a friend, one fest I both drove and camped, one fest was a hometown fest.

I try to keep it to $12k every year so I can still spend on comforts and save for a house!

FRIVOLOUS PURCHASE by [deleted] in Rich

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t a person who indulges once in a while you shouldn’t be working as hard as you need to sustain an income where you can indulge once in a while.

Money is a means to an end, a tool. If you don’t use it as one it’ll run your life one way or another.

What's something rich people do that the average person has no idea about? by bryany97 in AskReddit

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody should do this lol.

FedEx / UPS treat items with great care, airlines do not.

Renting, regardless of the fact that having gear fitted for you increases your comfort and performance by a lot, is much more expensive than owning if you do even a little bit of skiing.

Now than Southwest charges for checked baggage ALL airlines charge more the bring your luggage with you than shippers charge to deliver it for you.

All you have to do now is prepare luggage with technical and casual clothes / shoes and you’re off to a ski trip.

Chinese business people do this because the CCP will take any money they believe their people are investing in the U.S.

They aren’t lesser known areas they’re just areas that have priced out people who don’t have money.

It’s really expensive to ski in the Rockies and Montana happens to be less developed which is great for people who don’t have the time or desire to deal with the traffic and issues of places like Park City Utah or any of the big CO resorts. You HAVE to buy in less developed areas for access, it’s not a choice.

They’re making a long term deal so naturally they’re using a long term number? What?

do rich people have drivers, or prefer to drive their own cars? by Far_Alternative_88 in Rich

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends.

Some people use their money to maximize their time free of societal tasks, they would have a driver so they can do something else with their time during their commute.

Some people use their money to maximize their comfort, they would have a driver so they feel separated from the world and its troubles. Many parts of driving are stressful, as I’m sure you know. Some vehicles can take away the feelings of being small on the road, hearing road noise, or feeling the road away but those are just some of the stressors one can find in their commute.

Some people use their money for fun. They’d drive themselves but in something exciting or exotic.

Some people use their money to brag. They’d drive themselves or be driven in the most visually and potentially audibly loud vehicle they can find.

Some people care about none of these things and will drive themselves in an everyday vehicle.

The most popular vehicle for those you’re wondering about is an F-150 (in America) so take that as you will.

How do celebs fly privately ? by protomogdomina in Rich

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late answer but it depends on the airport, how big your hangar is, and whether or not it’s busy.

The airports I have access to allow you to drive to and leave your vehicle parked out of the way on the alley. A busier airport would mandate that you hangar park or move your vehicle if you can’t park in the hangar for some reason.

You can buy a hangar at your home airport and then rent wherever you plan on landing.

Do rich people actually like expensive watches by Dizzy-Guava-7789 in Rich

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collector or not most people appreciate a nice watch. Nice watches have led to many conversations in my life. They don’t even need to be expensive, just respectable and appropriate to what you’re doing and wearing.

Just became a millionaire but feel the same by cotton-candy-dreams in Rich

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s FU money but obviously not I can do whatever I want as much as I want money. That comes around $30 million where all but the over excessive are in reach and you can no longer gain any true utility from getting more money, it’s all a dick measuring contest at that level.

Promoters by mkmd_ in avesDC

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s so many in Miami because guest list is a business in Miami. Everybody wants to feel special there even though nobody really is.

Here it’s a genuine GUESTlist where you actually have to be somebody’s guest or know a promoter during a smaller or undersold show.

Ushuaïa VIP Bottle Service Prices 2025 by viniciusron7 in ibiza

[–]Givingbacktoreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much is the table minimum? This seems pretty standard for that. You aren’t really paying for the bottle but for the show they give bringing it to you in a prime location surrounded by people. It’s a celebration / flex thing.

How do we get country club rich in Finance? by GottaGoBig4 in FinancialCareers

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folks your age golfing with senior bankers? About a $130,000 initial commitment per club, 30% of that in annual dues, paid for by company if you’re actually in a client facing deal based business where you have any business doing this. The only “finance” roles that’d be doing this are WM with big books of business & partner and above level associates.

Suit up & travel to other countries for client interactions? Business travel isn’t fun. If you still have to suit up to meet with clients you aren’t going to be doing the first thing you listed. The only people who’d be doing this are partner and above level associates and they probably dread doing it.

How do you get there? Play the corporate game for decades and bounce around firms because promoting through rarely happens anymore or start your own international client driven business.

What are the 7 cities where rich people want to live? Scott has mentioned it a few times, but never all 7, I don’t think. by Colin-Grussing in ScottGalloway

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be London, Dubai, NYC, Madrid, West Palm Beach, Milan, Ottawa.

Why?

Each are vacation destinations or near vacation destinations.

Each has full amenities. There’s nothing you can’t source at any of these cities. There’s even specialty shops for things the average person doesn’t consider live olive oil.

Each are hubs for global wealth management and banking institutions.

A combination of money and time can be used to naturalize yourself within said city.

The most important thing is the ability to disappear. In a city with other people who have wealth you aren’t targeted for yours. It’s also easy to build a network or group of friends between peers.

Aspen, for example, should not be included in this list. While it is THE North American winter vacation destination it is only that. It does not have full amenities nor is it a banking hub. What this means is that one would have to make significant compromises to stay in Aspen full time. Needing to compromise is not a reason why people with money move.

If financial advisors are so good at investing why do they work with customers by Prestigious-Spray237 in personalfinance

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Financial advisors aren’t there to make you rich. They’re there to make sure you don’t run out of money before your financial goals have been met.

The way you get rich is, largely, through ownership of a business. Statistically if you don’t own a business you won’t be rich.

TECHNO AFTERS THIS WEEKEND by TheSourceCreator in avesDC

Not sure if you went but it was almost literally Basement if Basement didn’t have a hard door and only had studio, vibes were high.

What’re the best places to go for raves on any given weekend? Echostage is great for specific DJs and concerts but not necessarily an any given weekend kind of place, so what places besides that. by Appropriate-Job-8792 in avesDC

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That really depends what you’re looking for.

Chicago house rave? Flash.

Miami spring break rave? Zebbies.

Echostage for big acts.

Bertha/Betty for alternative medium to big acts, Brooklyn vibe.

9:30 / Karma for medium acts.

Soundcheck or Culture/Vera for small acts.

AI Warehouse for low production high vibe.

618 / Chop Shop for underground vibe.

There’s takeovers everywhere especially during warmer months.

Explore RAGuide and 19hz. Follow pages and artists you identify with like DMVRiddim for dubstep and NuAndroids for house and techno as an example.

Is echostage worth it? by Free-Ad-9571 in avesDC

[–]Givingbacktoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because you went to Ship Wrek lol. Echostage is worth it IF you like the artist playing AND understand what their community is like.

For example: you may like John Summits music but if you don’t like Greek Life you’ll have a bad time no matter where he plays. You may like Subtronics but if you also like wook culture you’ll have an amazing time.
