My first big purchase will be a home or condo. Probably in Las Vegas. There's a good buyer's market to capitalize on. Now is the time to buy homes!
Well...I plan on graduating while I'm still 22, so probably save a few years, then buy a house and an Audi S5.
...or maybe an R8You're only young once, right?
My mother and brother always have had mustangs, so i went against the grain and have owned 4 or 5 camaros. I love them...even built a couple for some amature drag racing! My brother had a 03 or 04 cobra and man those are pretty sweet cars too! I currently have a 97 Z that I've done cam/headwork/exhaust/few other things...it runs high 12s in the quarter. Not too shabby.
that's a good one..
Ok old man...so what other purpose does a watch serve?
Poor souls... bombarded with ads since they were infants; defenseless against our cruel consumerist society and never having a chance at a joyous life.
Well, to make things worse.
Anything less than this:
means you fail. Ferrari, Aston Martin, other Lamborghinis? Hah! Losers...
Here is the sexy Lamborghini Reventon. It'll cost you $1 million Euros and there's only 20 of them being made. Oh, and they were all sold before the car was even announced at the 07' Frankfurt show.
Oh, and even if you do manage to get one, you'll only feel like 2nd best when the newer, sexier one comes out in a year and a half.
Point is, you'll never be happy trying to have the most exclusive toys. You have to understand that material possessions don't define who you are. Your profession shouldn't define who you are. It's just a job unless you let it take over your life.
It seems like Epicurus had a better handle on happiness over 2,000 years ago.
1) Enough money to be financially free. That term is a bit sketchy because to some people today, financial freedom means being able to buy a yacht. But to Epicurus it was simply being self sufficient. Not having to beg or rely on others for sustenance.
2) Friends. It's not enough to simply have friends but you must be surrounded by them. Live with them! Life doesn't wait for you to plan social gatherings to "happen". I feel sorry for those who live alone with their spouse and miss out on the lifetimes of special moments with all of your friends. This is why my friends and I plan to buy a modest mansion together and it's still significantly less than if we were to buy single homes separately.
3) Free time to be able to kick back, take a swig of cold beer and appreciate how lucky you are.
I doubt I will even be breaking $1,000 a month living lavishly after I graduate. I'm doing it for a lot less now but with a Pharmacist's salary I'll be able to save up for spontaneous trips around the world or just local adventures that don't cost anything. Not to mention be able to let my working-class parents relax and discover a life where you don't need to worry about putting food on the table.
As you can see from some other posts, many people truly enjoy paying $10,000 for a watch or $200,000 for a car. To me, that's just a testament to Rolex and Ferrari's Advertising & Marketing team. They get you to pay for something you don't need and is overpriced but makes you feel good about it. That's bloody brilliant. But also sad.
Be yourself, conformity is an ugly thing. Putting effort into getting laid is one thing. But when it comes to a real relationship, just be yourself. Because there are people who are going to love you just the way you are but you'll never find them if you don't reveal yourself.
And one last thing. I don't know what happens after we die but I do know it won't include any suffering. People who try to tell you otherwise are just refusing to think things through.
Cheers
How could anyone not appreciate a $10,000 watch? It's a magnificent work of art that would make even the great Michelangelo jealous.
I've saved up my entire life to finally able to buy a $18200 watch + tax. And let me tell you, it turns heads every time I go out with it.
That bokeh looks photoshopped
haha but i really only see two cute girls, the others seem....just okay
tsk tsk epic i expected better from you
I think a watch is a nice idea! I actually bought a new one as a graduation gift to myself. It's fancy (to me) compared to watches I've owned in the past, but not too flashy!
