What are you spending your $1200 on?

new tires and calipers for my car.

1200$ of weeeeeeeeeed

Wish I was American for that money. I need a Nintendo Switch.

Get your breadwinner wife to buy it for you, I understand you must consoom

Buy what you need, not what you want

Do you not shop around for lower priced, better quality goods? Do you just drop fat loads on overpriced chinkgarbage peddled to you? Holy hell user, be more frugal, its not hard. Well, if being intelligent is hard, maybe this advice isn't good for you.

I just spent $200 on brakes. I had to take it from my taxes at the end of the year fund, so, I'll guess I just bank it.

I don't understand the 1/2 trillion for corporations. We just gave them a $2 trillion break a couple of years ago. What happened to that? One would almost think they squandered it on stock buybacks, overseas investments, and executive bonuses. Oh right. They did.
Anyway, Trump may not sign it if someone tips him off that he can't collect any of that money for himself.

>all this money he wants and not one user gave a fuck.

It sucks though but at the end of the day it's the smartest thing to do and be better off down the road.
Besides imo you will get what you want later eventually

Get a job then you cunt.

its so they dont have to fire their employees retard

Shut up nigger no one needs 20k for a car

I’m getting this $1,200 check, plus an additional $600 on top of the $400 I already get each week for my unemployment benefits. I’m literally going to be raking in $4000 a month for 10 months sitting on my ass! I love being an American.

KYS faggot, it's cheaper

>inb4 microsoft excel projects

You don’t actually need any of this ...

The advertising consumer marketing directed at you 24/7 is trying to get you to spend your money or even to borrow .
In most cases to buy what you don’t need .

It’s designed by experts paid a fortune to make you feel useless if you don’t have stuff.
95% is pointless fashion or stuff. With names on ...

Don’t be a clux don’t be a follower ,
Don’t fall for the lies ..

It will never end , because next month they will tell you , what you bought is now rubbish , slow , out of date .
You now need more New stuff

Oh and by the way that expensive stuff you bought is now worth nothing !!

That’s because it was always worth nothing ....

Don’t follow these lies !!!
It will alwYs end in tears and debt

So why go through the corporation? That 1/2 trillion that could go directly to the employees without being filtered through corporate greed. "You keep working, the gov't will pay your salary, the corp gets nothing".
Also, the 2 trillion tax scam was supposed to trickle down to the employees. That was still a big joke. The companies didn't raise salaries or hire more, while middle class jobs continued to shrink.
Anyway, corporate bailouts are socialism, which I keep being told I should hate.

hey thanks for being honest about what you are gonna spend money on. I just paypal'd you $50,000.00 and don't worry about paying it back, I am famous actor jon stamos so it's really nothing to me.

Okay. I gotta ask. Why new calipers? They dont wear out like a tire.

Not that dude but if one caliper is leaking, you gotta replace both.

This but half unironically because i need to stockpile and grow in my legal state

No you dont. Who told you that? You can even rebuild them to fix the leaks.

>he lives in a flyover shithole
That’s a pay cut for me , LA fag reporting in

ticket to North Korea
because if we live in a communist country i prefer the one where it will end sooner

And $1200 is supposed to help you how exactly?
I’m using mine to pay off debt, it’ll trickle up to the big corporations but at least I get to wipe my slate before CEOs get bonuses this time around

1200 bottles of hand sanitizer from the dollar store, I'm investing for retirement

hang on, i know this is bait but
>I need about:
>$300 worth of clothes
go to Kmart and you can make that $50 instead
>$100 for a new bathrobe
no you dont
>$2,200 for a laptop

lol no, just drop $3k into a riceburner

ITT: illusion of wealth

>retard
usually employees generate profits otherwise there wouldn't be any.

>"no one"
most people don't. depends on what you do. i need another diesel which even a used 1998 dodge 12 valve goes for 12-17k.
by need i mean it's a work truck (and a tax write-off). a new truck off the lot goes for 50k + easily.
with another work truck i can have another crew, promote someone to foreman, generate more profits.

since i can get a loan at 0% I'll probably just take the stimulus money and do some home improvements which will also lower my taxable income.

>needs a Nintendo switch.
>kid doesn't know what need is

solid point user. save when you can so when shit like this COVID-19 economic cluster fuck happens you'll be in to position to not only cover your ass but you'll potentially be able to take advantage of lowered interest rates and buy real property like a house or in my case. a 300 acre farm someone had to short sale because their marginal propensity to consume was greater than their propensity to save.

or i could spend it on stupid shit like OP and his overpriced bathrobe.

>go to Kmart
ok boomer

I drove my car into the ground delivering pizzas and blew the engine a week ago it should help with a down payment on something else

Ive earned a good living, no retiring. Working class. Spent a lot of money on stuff that just piled up, Motorcycles, cars, tools, books cameras stereo equipment. etc etc. Now I see that I have less time ahead of me than behind, dont need 90% of what I have accumulated and have to make an effort to sell a bunch of stuff that aint worth much so a lot of it will be tossed given away or left for my kids to get rid of. Save your money, travel. Dont buy a bunch of stuff you dont need cause you have been talked into thinking you need it It is in the end a fucking monumental waste of time money and effort

Enjoy it in your crowded shithole, I have 20 wooded acres all for myself and pay not even 1/4 of what you do for your little studio apartment

This man is the only person in this thread who has a shred of common sense. Respect

All that stuff was just wasted, should have spent all that money on hookers and booze

Wrong. At least he has something to show for the money he spent. If you spent it all on hookers and blow, you have nothing to show besides the air mattress that you sleep on. At least this user can hop on a Harley and party it up with what he’s got

Because there’s more operating expenses to keep employees employed that paying a salary?

>blew an engine
No one is gonna tip you more for getting there faster in your evo

Change that to:
$150 for clothes
$50 for a bathrobe
$1,200 for a laptop (or $1,500 for a way better PC)
$600 for VR stuff (Index is nice but if you don't have the money the Rift S is more bang for your buck)
$100 for VR games (buy the ones you'll play and wait for the rest to go on sale)
$8,000 is more than enough for a perfectly good used car
$100 is actually pretty cheap for new monitor, good job
$100 for an external hard drive
$80 for a backpack
$50 for roomba battery, don't have to do your whole house at once
$400 for a table saw
$150 for video game creation assets. Should check Humble Bundle more, they just had $400 worth of assets in a bundle for $20 and $1,200 worth of coding materials for $20
Don't spend your whole paycheck every month

$25,910 total down to $10,980. Stop wasting your money OP

It's definitely not worth the time to rebuild them. Any real shop won't even rebuild them anymore because it's hard to get parts and not worth the liability.

And you're right you don't technically need to replace both, but if one blew out the other will most likely follow soon after

You missed the entire point of his post, didn't you?

I don’t think I did, but then again I’m kinda drunk. Please explain user

>$300 for new clothes
how about like $100 stop trying to stay in the current styles also check out thrift stores but dont be a faggot about it
>$100 for a bathrobe
wtf you are an autist how about no just wrap a towel around your waist
>2,200 for a laptop
This I can understand if you have to do it
>1000 for VR stuff
If this is something you want eventually sure i'd save up for it
>500 for vr games
there aren't even enough good games to waste 500 on just stay at like 150-200
>20,000 for a new car
buy an older truck and boom maybe 10k max for a car that will last you a while or some thing for something like a prius or something
>100 for a new monitor
why?
>150 for external hardrive
stop it I got mine new 1 tb for 70
>150 for cool backpack
kys buy a jansport for 30-40
>70 for roomba
respect
>600 table saw
rent it from home depot when you need it cx
>740 for assets
I mean I guess but you have to choose between vr and this
>money in back
always do a fourth of paycheck into bank

I hate MSI not op but two of my msi products shit the bed within a year. I get one of them back tomorrow, even though the products are not top tier their service is actually the best I have ever seen no questions asked just sent me the new parts

I replaced my rear drums and shoes last fall. And now they scream like a banshee in the morning when I'm leaving for work. To the point where they're actually vibrating my car. It stops squeaking after I get moving. It's just the first few times I apply the brakes.

They're the self adjusting kind. I think I installed them right. They're working. They stop the car, parking brake works.

Any thoughts?

I'm not getting 1,200 because I make too much.

I was gonna buy a new gpu, like a 2080 ti and a new desk for my now work from home job. But oh well...

He literally said don't buy a bunch of things you don't need, and spend it on ephemera like cruises

I could really use $800
but I'm not an American so I won't be getting
any of these checks

OP here.
I need clothes from the Big and Tall shop, not Kmart
My bathrobe is falling apart
I've been wanting to play VR Alyx my whole life and can't do it on my 15 year old computer
And play other vr games
I don't like buying a 2-3K car I junk after 2-3 years
I need a larger or second monitor
I need another 3T drive to back up my life's work.
I need $149 for the backpack I want
I need a table saw for my wood working hobby
I also need $1,000 and another $2500 for taxes and house insurance at the end of the year

The point is, I could help the economy more if I was given more money, instead of wasting it on corporations that don't need it because they are still worth billions of dollar.

>I'm entitled, gibs me stuff!
There's a reason you're broke

>$2k laptop
Just spend $2 for bleach and kill yourself you fucking degenerate

>I have 20 wooded acres all for myself and pay not even 1/4 of what you do for your little studio apartment

>I still live at home with daddy soI have 20 wooded acres all for myself and pay not even 1/4 of what you do for your little studio apartment

>FTFY

I looked and apparently I don't qualify because my income is too high.

>blew an engine
>would probably make more blowing gay dudes

i don't understand why some pizza slaves don't just buy a cheap economy car like an 80's Honda or Toyota. insurance on a classic car costs much less. parts are cheap. decent fuel economy.

my nephew is pretty smart for a pothead. the type of kid who pays attention enough to learn from other people's mistakes.
kid bought an 80's Supra for $800 3 years ago. it broke down, Pistons not firing, block got to hot and warped. he saved a little money so he bought a CRX $1200. (it's pretty fun to drive and well maintained.)

meanwhile
his co-worker/roommate bought a newer Honda CRV (with the shitty nissan transmission) it broke down, couldn't afford to get it fixed so he quit making payments like a dipshit. they repo it. gets sued for the remainder of the payments after they dealership auctioned it off.
the kid is still in debt for a car he doesn't even own. had to stop delivering pizzas because he didn't have a car. now he works part-time inside on the line cooking pizzas, makes substantially less bow that he doesn't get mileage compensation or tips.
ends up having to get a roommate (my nephew) so he wouldn't end up in an even more fucked situation, a SHITuation.

all because he wanted a "nice" car he couldn't realistically afford.

Something tells me that you are fat as fuck

on yer mum

I'm not getting 1200$ because I make way too much to qualify. Enjoy my money, faggot.

I need about three fiddy

Who the FUCK spends 100 bucks on a BATHROBE

What even is the difference between a $10 and a $100 robe

>Trying to brag on /b
Pics of cash stacks or gtfo

Jorge Masvidal

>need
>luxury bathrobe

No , you don’t
