Being called broke 🙃

Nathaniel66 · 2021-01-24T07:21:07+00:00

I learned money can’t buy time

Absolutely this. When i was ~30y i had a well paid job but it took me ~40 mins drive one way to get there, so ~1.5hr wasted in a car every day. I changed my job, my salary was now 30% lower, but i walked like 10 mins from my home. BEST DECISION EVER. Money came in time, but in new job stress is much lower, i'm 40 with not a single grey hair, work very close from home, have plenty of time for my hobbies. Live's getting better :D

Her: "Are you rich, yet?"

You: "Why? How much do you cost?"

J0NW1C · 2021-01-24T09:49:58+00:00

Be rich, pretend poor.

Realityfirst1st · 2021-01-24T06:54:44+00:00

You took a higher road than I would have lol

When I see women I knew back in the old days, they've always turned into rly angry feminists. So I usually mess with them a little bit and say I'm dating an Eastern European woman. After we get married, she's changing her name to something I picked out because "it sounds a little more normal" because wtf kind of name is "Oleksandra", amirite? She's changing her first name and obviously she'll change her last name too.

Feminists lose their minds when you say stuff like that to them.

I do pretty well for my area, but I’ve gotten to where i tell everyone that I’m poor. This exact words.

It’s just easier

retal1ator · 2021-01-24T08:30:30+00:00

If someone asked me how I am doing financially I usually say that "I can't complain". It shows that you are happy where you are but doesn't give away details.

And not being stressed about money is really the most important factor in regards to finances. Being well off enough, with low or no debt, and plenty of savings means you're resilient enough that you can sleep at night even if the economy takes a dive or you get fired.

Menteachmen · 2021-01-24T10:20:06+00:00

Income is relative. If you have no debts and live a normal town or city than 50k is pretty good.

I only earn 2k a month but I live in asia and only need around 1k per month so I can save quite well.

TigPlaze · 2021-01-24T08:13:20+00:00

She's totally out of line. Your financial situation is none of her business. That's true whether you're loaded with wealth or whether you barely have two dimes to rub together. I've told women straight up, "My financial situation is none of your business." It shuts most of them up. There's a reason why questions like "How much money do you make?" are rude. Those are prying questions. You financial situation is your business and your business alone, unless of course the other person has some legitimate reason to know your situation, such as you're applying for a loan. Even then, they only get financial information about you with your consent.

All that emphasis on consent applies to knowledge about people's private lives as well, and your money situation is PRIVATE information. I can't stand that they've normalized turning dates into basically financial interrogations. All these questions like "What do you do?", "What kind of car do you drive?", "Where do you live?", etc., are all designed as financial probes. They're an attempt to answer the one question that is considered a faux pas, "How much money do you make?"

Then shaming men with statements like "You're broke" is despicable manipulation designed to shame you into revealing your information. A lot of dudes get defensive and attempt to rebut that. Don't. You did the right thing by stonewalling her.

Lao_Shan_Lung · 2021-01-24T10:13:11+00:00

I saw her on tinder

That's where you made a mistake. Girls whom used Tinder are not worth the hassle.

beatstorelax · 2021-01-24T14:11:32+00:00

people who ask how much money you make aren't the ones Worth trust and time

Menteachmen · 2021-01-24T13:35:59+00:00

I can't say this enough: do not give any hint of wealth, specially on current times.

I understand some of us just love nice cars, stylish clothes, and even the most frugal might eventually be seen entering in an above average comercial building (restaurant, furniture, electronics). Still, keeping those things to a minimal can't hurt.

If someone asks me how things are going, I say I'm just happy to have time to go to the gym.

I complained on another post how I hate my job market (IT) and one of the reasons is that is almost impossible to find a part time job. More likely we struggle to not work more than 40 hours/week. Still lurking for it, anyway. So I also envy your extra time.

tonesbrown1976 · 2021-01-24T09:08:12+00:00

Nicely played good sir bragging to her would just have caused more problems then a woman's worth tbh.

avtarius · 2021-01-24T07:07:25+00:00

Shallowness in people is a natural filter which takes no effort on our part, thankfully.

Imagine if plebes were smarter xD ... so tiring.

rbep531 · 2021-01-24T14:54:21+00:00

Are you sure she's not projecting? Sounds like she's bitter that her education hasn't translated into being rich and having a good job. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Deplorable_X · 2021-01-24T09:27:09+00:00

ProREvenge! that feeling is awesome

little_jimmy_jackson · 2021-01-24T11:13:30+00:00

Compared to the average person, you are rich. The #1 expense is housing and you own one outright. You have a very safe job with good benefits & 100K liquid. Yeah, you got it goin on!!!

Boatlife1207 · 2021-01-24T11:48:28+00:00

Her financial situation is probably all show people think because you have a nice car expensive clothes you have money 9-10 people are living week to week and she is probably just the same as most women broke in debt she sounds like a snob “the things you own start owning you” good job stay humble

cleats4u · 2021-01-24T15:32:42+00:00

I would have said have you made any money with that gold mine (pussy) your sitting on yet. Lol.

red-tea-rex · 2021-01-24T17:48:51+00:00

You took the right road. The thing is if she knew you had a paid for house she'd become interested in you for the wrong reasons. She would try to spend the equity for you then demand you got a higher paying job to keep her in her lifestyle she's become accustomed to. Your money would be buying purses and shoes instead of time.

Oppubb0 · 2021-01-24T18:25:28+00:00

The boldness of this statement and the fact that you're a POC makes me wonder if you two are Nigerian...

daniellederek · 2021-01-25T03:16:02+00:00

Her: are you rich yet?

Me: yes, and if you buy me supper I will explain how you can too.

AutoModerator · 2021-01-24T18:51:15+00:00

Women are so "empowered" now they don't have to bother with things like "hi" they just jump straight to the point.

It also means she sees you as low value, looks wise, so maybe use it as a data point, if you care?

laptopdragon · 2021-01-24T17:16:53+00:00

That's hilarious and sad at the same time.
Also, what prompted you to seek out a tinder thot after all your success?

deadweight999 · 2021-01-25T05:12:05+00:00

You should ask her for advice on how to keep your 3 mistresses from finding out about each other. She'd drop any and all questions about your finances.

kriskros18 · 2021-01-25T22:17:47+00:00

This post is making me want to connect with old “friends”, just for giggles.

Me? on “unemployment” Ofcourse. 😜 can I borrow a 100...100k I mean.?

night-blue · 2021-01-25T22:40:35+00:00

I figured if she could, I could

😎

gfyacab · 2021-01-24T15:07:18+00:00
