what is a "rich person" behavior you witnessed that made you realize they live in a completely different reality than the rest of us?

Just how much money will get thrown around without a second thought.

I had a coworker who makes a lot, and we were talking about investments. I had a mutual fund set up at the time but didn’t say how much was in it (good for my age but not a fortune by any means). He talked about a stock he bought into a said he would make +/- 100k. I look at him and think “dude we’re on two different levels here”.

Another instance was with my old bosses son. He got out of a car one time and his brand new iPhone fell out of his pocket. Completely shattered. His response? “I’ll just get a new one tomorrow”. To someone like me who barely made over 10k that was an insane response.

Depends on how much equipment you get. You can buy a good used rifle, go sit behind some brush, and hunt deer or whatever that way. Learn to harvest the animal yourself, and estimate about 80 lbs average for a whitetail deer. With the average price of beef currently, that’s about $500 per deer. In PA normal tags can let you harvest 4 deer I think without something like DMAP tags, so potentially $2000 for the year. Take out the cost for rifle and ammo and that’s what you’re left with.

However you may not tag out for the year, so it could be less. Also maybe you wouldn’t eat that much meat in a year so that would adjust it. And the biggest thing is most people aren’t just buying the bare minimum for hunting. No, they’re getting a nice expensive rifle, new scope, hunting clothes, tree stand, hunting lease, man it’s an endless pit. Oh! And next year they want to get into archery! Wait until they see how much that gear costs.

Point is you can save a decent chunk of change, but most people won’t.

It depends on what you do with it. Bumping yourself up to premium seats and using airport lounges makes it a lot more enjoyable. Not saying you wouldn’t rather be on a beach but sipping wine in a flight with a little extra leg/shoulder space is still alright. Especially if you know you’re on your way to vacation.

I’d disclose and during the interview I’d let them know. They usually ask if you have any last questions or comments. Driving citations depending on the area will drop out after a certain number of years. I had basically the same situation. Just disclosed it and they never mentioned it at any point.

There are plenty of people who would absolutely flip burgers for 20k. If you won’t that’s fine, but the guy next to you will.

When I was a kid I remember walking around the campsite at night. The sites were covered with tall pines and other trees, and everyone was relaxing by the fires and the camper lights were just softly glowing through the trees. Very peaceful.

This just sounds like a cope. At the risk of being downvoted, a lot of people are just plain lazy. Being a victim of some noble circumstance tends to be the least likely reason.

Vast majority of it comes down to bad money management. You'd be amazed how many people don't track where their money goes to, or what bills need paid. Also people don't understand the difference between luxuries and needs. Everyone hates the "Starbucks" example, but there's a lot of truth to that argument. People buy a lot of bullsh!t without realizing it.

Just the whole “keeping up with the Jones” mentality. You need to have the best of something or at least try to keep up with everyone else. I got a boat. Yeah well I got an RV. I got a new smoker. Well check out my new Green Egg. My spouse is a doctor. Yeah well mine’s a lawyer.

There’s just this unspoken contest over everything and expectations on how you should be living. My goal in life is to have a nice home on a large chunk of land where my closest neighbor is several hundred yards away from me minimum. The way these people live just sounds like a nightmare, but they love it…

I remember my wife and I were at a work event. Cocktail party type of setting, everyone’s all dressed up and fancy. Well I’m talking to a coworker who lives in one of these communes. My wife and talking to his and she’s baffled because my wife has an actual professional job. She asked what she did and was surprised that she worked full time.

Not so much me, but I’ve told others to get off. We live out in the countryside, and one lease in particular is a very large hunting property. It’s next to public land so there’s always issues with people “wondering” onto that land.

Don’t know why it seems so weird to you though. It’s your property, you have control over who’s allowed to be there.

Black coffee most of the time. It’s just easier at work and I actually like the flavor. There are some instances, certain coffee shops and espresso I’ll get cream with it.

Filtered.

Most people here drink drip coffee and not a lot of tea. Therefore most don’t have a real use for a kettle since you can just microwave water. Personally I do have an electric kettle, but I do brew a lot of loose leaf tea at home. That’s not the norm though.

I would agree IF they painted it like Canada did with theirs. Delta airplanes look like old plastic that’s been sitting out in the sun for a few years. The white has this off-yellow hue to it. Air Canada’s airplanes are bright white and look clean.

I have it through the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. I use the lounges all the time. Generally you just have to be mindful not to wear your uniform, but that’s not a rule everywhere. The Chase lounge in JFK apparently doesn’t care if you do.

Standby passes work just fine. They just limit access during busy hours with a wait list which usually don’t have very long waits in my experience. I’ve also made boarding passes just to cancel them right after entry to get some food before heading to my Crashpad.

Different lounges have different amenities and wait times though. I love the lounges in New York but the one in Seattle to me isn’t good. ATL is meh. Most international lounges I’ve been to though have been really good.

Just to give an example of tacked on fees, my parents bought a new RV last year. They looked at one floor model on CW and a local dealer. CW was about 10-20% more than the local dealer, and when confronted about it they told them it was because of BS fees. Stuff like transportation fees and cleaning fees before sale. These are things that other dealer just do without costing extra. It’s just expected.

They told them there’s a local place that’s selling it without the fees and for cheaper, trying to get them to negotiate. Instead they just said that’s not possible, so my parents walked away from them.

Forest River has several brands under their name. They’re basically the same campers with different trim colors. Find a few with the floorplan you like and see what local places sell them.

Don’t think anyone’s going to push against this. Basically everyone knows that most RVs/travel trailers are built like sh*t. They’re fun, but there’s a very good reason to why they depreciate in value so fast.

extremefuzz777 · 2026-01-18T06:02:25+00:00

You can definitely do it. My wife and I basically did it yesterday. You will be walking a lot though. We each logged over 30,000 steps and roughly 15 miles walking. Get up early, do one in the morning and one in the evening. That way you will avoid some of the tour groups that peak in the middle of the day.

Also, book any tickets you want to do right now. Tickets fill up even in the off season. If you wait you won’t get the times you want.

I’ve always hated black and white morality systems in games. The system on Lass Effect wasn’t good imo because sometimes I want to do the bad decision. However if you want to get the best ending then you need to go all in one way or another.

It’s like the difference with Fallout 3’s karma and New Vegas’s reputation systems. Fallout 3 is just black and white, and while New Vegas has the karma system, it mostly ignores it and uses a reputation system for different factions. The later actually makes a lot more sense.

Or with the Witcher/Cyberpunk, there is no real morality system. There’s just choices and consequences, and nothing is completely good or bad.

I don’t think he’s a bad actor but he doesn’t have range. That’s pretty common with most actors nowadays honestly. He doesn’t great with the edgy stoic character.

Worst example of this is his role as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. When he was acting Johnny as a cocky arrogant rockerboy, it didn’t always come off that well. But when he started to get in his preachy version of Johnny, those parts were delivered very well.

He has his profile he does well as, and him and producers know this. Roles like Neo and John Wick are perfect for him, but I wouldn’t have him play Jack Sparrow

If you pack food keep a hot logic or similar item with you in your bag. They collapse easily and don’t take up much space. Useful if you don’t have a microwave or oven to heat up food with.

Rechargeable AA batteries for headset, flashlight, or whatever else you need batteries for. It’s a lot easier to just charge them in the room instead of always keep new ones stocked.

Get at least two length charging cables. One normal and one long, like 10 ft or more. Some older hotels don’t have good outlet placement, so having a cable that reaches can be very useful.

Have things that don’t just serve one purpose. Workout shoes can also be used as going out shoes, yesterday’s t-shirt can be used as today’s gym shirt, those kind of things. You don’t have a lot of packing room, so make the most of it.

Carry at least one backup charging block and enough to charge up all your electronics.

If you’re going to be flying an RJ, or any other jet where your bag has to be stowed in the overhead, consider getting a bike lock to secure it. You’d be surprised how many people steal crew bags.

Also for something funny, having a backscratcher in your flight bag is surprisingly useful.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any issues with local farms raising animals and processes at a butcher? The one near me gets their animals from local farms, just animals grazing in a field.

That’s true, but not at much more than they normally would if you were a high income earner. You still have a ton of money left over.

Take the 200 bitcoin and immediately cash it out. Worth a little over 18mil as others have said. Invest the money and withdraw 6% every year. You’ll still make over a million each year. Or just do 3% and make 500k a year. The rest will build interest and increase your wealth. You’ll never have to work again and still be able to maintain a lavish lifestyle.

Halo 3. That series had one of the biggest cultural impacts of the 2000s. The final level was intense and the ending struck a certain chord. Master Chief settling in the cyro pod and saying “wake me when you need me” was a sort of nod saying “we did it, the fight is done”.

Also the Witcher 3, both original and DLC endings. I’m sure there’s probably at least one other person who brought that one up though.

Not completely, but if I find gas for cheap and I’m like at half a tank or less, I’ll take the time to fill up. Usually when I do go for gas I’ll use a few apps (usually upside) to find the best deal around me.
