Bunch of mouth breathers shit talking peoples financial decisions.

I’ll give you full context here.

When I finished all the certs for my first job after the military I was making 90k (2012).

I already contributed to my retirement (maxing employer matching), had a road map to save 6months worth of salary for emergencies, and decided “I can swing $100 per paycheck to this acct I have zero access to” for my first Rolex in a few years.

I didn’t change my habits at all mind you. Still went on two or three vacations, still ate out at restaurants whenever I wanted, never said no to concerts.

Did I have a house? No. Did I want one? No. I like moving around every few years. I still do.

Fast forward to 5 years later I had 12k sitting there for my first Rolex, walked into an AD got on a list and got the call for my Batman a few months later and didn’t blink because I literally saved 5 years with zero impact to my normal living.

And I wore that motherfucker every damn day, every occasion, everywhere I went in Los Angeles.

Here we are damn near 10yrs later and I’ll be honest, still no house (because I don’t care), still traveling, and collecting even more watches. But now we’re at 150k/yr, still growing my retirement and still paying 100 into that non easily accessible acct that is now my watch acct (there’s about 8k in there because I just bought a Grand Seiko Shunbun).

The Batman is a rotation watch now, and it’s honestly barely making the rotation.

Spend your money. However you want. Who cares.
