- emodendroket 4y agoYeah that seems like it's getting into pathological territory.
- ac29 4y ago> my wife decided she wanted to quit her job and bootstrap a business Because, by saving the money, they had this opportunity.
- rayiner 4y agoApart from not needing it, it would be rather conspicuous in our neighborhood, and given our small lot we’d have to park it at the community lot a quarter mile away. Lifestyle creep is easier to avoid if buying stuff is inconvenient…
- eternalban 4y ago> it would be rather conspicuous in our neighborhood It's funny. In my gentrified lower income hood (eastern edge of Bushwick) what is conspicuous is the high percentage count of high end and expensive (e.g. Maserati SUV!) cars. So you guys just need to move to a lower income bracket neighborhood and you can have your BMW.
