For Those of You who WORK...

[g°®†]

what do you have planned upon receipt of your next paycheck?



I'm thinking about getting new shoes. It's been a year, and the ones I own now have been through hell.


starting to stink a bit too ... <---- that's the main reason.



and maybe a weight bar/weights, and a bench press.


(all depending on how much the shoes cost).

[guitrguy]

Pay some bills, beer this weekend, and Mardi Gras party related expenses as well.

insurance refund

my insurance in california cost me $2310 a year, and i cancelled it a few weeks ago, leaving me six months unused, so they gave me my money back

[Double You Awful]

Most of it will go to help paying for a new car/gas for said car

[Zmev]

Each paycheck I throw a good amount into savings for college/just in case, but I do occasionally go shopping for CDs/clothes/accessories.

[madtaste]

Vasily, AvP: Requiem was a fake!

[i am the robots]

i just applied to get my old job back (stocking at the candy shop in a local grocery store) :D

[bradc1988]

Rent, food, electricity, phone and internet.

Exciting, I know.

[madtaste]

Rent, food, electricity, phone and internet.

Exciting, I know.

What do you do Brad?

[bradc1988]

When I'm not fighting crime I contract for the railways, helping surveyors.

Otherwise I'm at Uni living off Youth Allowance.

[madtaste]

Hmm, interesting. So you help them out as a assistant of sorts, or you're actually a surveyor yourself (or studying to be one?).

[bradc1988]

pfft no that's civil, who wants to be a civil engineer, that's right no one. I think the tax description is "survey hand".

Make of it what you will.

[madtaste]

So how'd you end up getting a gig like that?

[horseypie]

im kinda saving for a car atm/money for uni which starts in 2 weeks

[bradc1988]

My dad sits next to the surveyors at the railcorp offices. Easy job and quite good money for my age.

Do you work Mr Badtaste? Or are you the typical high school asian and are concentrating on your studies!

[madtaste]

Do you work Mr Badtaste? Or are you the typical high school asian and are concentrating on your studies!

Yeah, dayumn, if someone offered me a job like that, I wouldn't mind at all.

Ha, this typical high school asian is now a typical university student Asian. But yeah, working as a kitchen hand. It's alright, don't have to deal with a lot of people, food is good.

[bradc1988]

Ooh what Uni and what are you studying?

[madtaste]

Commerce/Arts at the University of Melbourne. About to start my second year in fact.

[bradc1988]

orly I thought you were still in high school, how old are you? Your profile has just informed me that we're the same age! But I've got a year on you so I'll be paying off my gigantic debt first.

lol @ arts/commerce

downpayment on macbook pro
the rest is going to pay for gas
maybe a couple of records
maybe a new ben sherman

i don't think i will get paid more than what my gas will cost to commute every day :/

[madtaste]

lol @ arts/commerce

Yes, good ol massive debt, thank the heavens for paying off HECS through taxes.

What's wrong with commerce/arts? The girls are way prettier in the arts subjects, it's like a buffer of sorts.

[bradc1988]

Yeah the women in arts and commerce are hawt, but commerce is incredibly boring and arts is pretty much useless.

I wish all the pretty ones did engineering :(

[Mother]

YOU BETTER WORK

[madtaste]

Yah, commerce is a bit boring, but hopefully it'll lead to my dream of swimming in a pool full of gold, haha. I picked arts mainly for my interest in psychology (might be able to pick up some new psychic powers); it'll look good on a CV.

edit: And plus, I've always wanted to be a yuppie,.

Engineering annoys me. It's so broad that I've never gotten my head around it.

[bradc1988]

Well you can be a yuppie and turn into an Australian Psycho.

Yeah engineering is broad, but then there's the engineering which I'm doing which is even broader as it dabbles into a lot of other engineering disciplines. You ever get that feeling that when you finish you're still going to know **** all?

[madtaste]

Haha, I had exactly that movie in mind.

Ha, sounds like my overall relationship with education so far, but hey, your course probably allows you to dip your thumb in many a pie.

[bradc1988]

Well perhaps. If only that pie were sweet uni women, but that's never going to happen.

Anyway I'm off to bed, Dream Theater tomorrow yeahhhhh

[madtaste]

DT, sweet. Enjoy it.

[Panopticon]

Floor tom and probly some in-ear monitors.

[madtaste]

Floor tom and probly some in-ear monitors.

Speaking of in-ear monitors, they're good stuff, yah?

[Panopticon]

idk i haven't bought them yet.

[madtaste]

idk i haven't bought them yet.

Makes sense. What will you use them for?

[beso negro]

rent and food.

though when i get my tax refund i'm spending it on recording gear.

[DBoons Ghost]

My bills are all pretty much paid for the month so I guess it'll go into savings.

More of y'all should try saving some money instead of spending it all as soon as you get it.

[JohnXDoe]

its ok boon haven't you heard we're getting HUNDREDS of dollars of free money from the government!

splurge away its a windfall!

[DBoons Ghost]

its ok boon haven't you heard we're getting HUNDREDS of dollars of free money from the government!

splurge away its a windfall!

Yeah I won't get a penny of that. From what I understand it won't even cover one month's energy bills and it might cover 3% of the average mortgage payment but hey! Splurge away! It's like pissing in the wind! At least Bush can say he tried to give back.

[big80smullet]

lol bush has ruined you country.

I will use some of my money for my trip to the states and some for minus the bear in two weeks

[DBoons Ghost]

We've been through worse presidencies and lived to tell the tale. Granted Jimmy Carter was only 4 years and things were horrible under him. At least Bush didn't make rich people poor in no time at all.

You guys are all doom and gloom man. Don't bring me down!

[big80smullet]

he made middle people poor and doubled you nationa debt in 6 years, started 2 wars which arent finished, all while lowering the average wage

[DBoons Ghost]

he made middle people poor and doubled you nationa debt in 6 years, started 2 wars which arent finished, all while lowering the average wage

True on the wars, lies on the rest. He middle people average whereas under Clinton there was the illusion of incline.

However, Clinton didn't have to deal with mass paranoia and delusion with regards to the repercussions of paying Israel to kill ragheads in the name of Democracy leading to the planes flying into buildings.

The national debt isn't quite that bad. That number is so ambiguous it's a mystery to me why people even bother to use it.

Things are messed up a little dude, no doubt, but it's not quite time for Chicken Little just yet.

[big80smullet]

lol i just like makin fun of yanks tbh. im fully aware that your civilisation isnt crumbling. I wouldnt be planning a 4 months trip there if it was

[DBoons Ghost]

Do you think I get too defensive?

[angry armadillo]

next time i get paid i will buy a new car

[DBoons Ghost]

next time i get paid i will buy a new car

Nice! What kind of car?

I can't wait for my lease to be up. My wife wants hybrids all around.

[big80smullet]

Do you think I get too defensive?

mebe. its only natural though. i would get defensive if you claimed i used to have a child and a dingo syole it

[angry armadillo]

im not quite sure, i have 7k (GBP) to spend and that includes insurance (which will be about 1k)

I don't know if you have them in the US but it could be a vauxhall (opel) astra coupe or a ford focus st170 perhaps.

[Panopticon]

Makes sense. What will you use them for?

if all goes well, for my show on the 17th

[big80smullet]

Nice! What kind of car?

I can't wait for my lease to be up. My wife wants hybrids all around.

Get a VW golf TDi. they are nicer to look at and get a similar MPG even though they arent hybrids. Oh yeah did i mention they are QUICK and not ugly. Diesel is Eco Friendly and if you wanna be nutters you can run them on vegetable oil with minor alterations

[DBoons Ghost]

We have Ford Focus but Opel hasn't come to these shores just yet. There is word of it.

[angry armadillo]

the only problem with the golf is everyone has one (here at least), or they would be on my short list too

dboons, google 'astra bertone' and you will see which can im after

[big80smullet]

Opel is GM and opel is holden. You have the holden monaro, rebadged as a pontiac GTO, so in effect you have opel

[Milestogo05]

I have to pay for my x box 360 hard drive...
My mom bought it for me for x-mas off ebay so it didnt come with one...

[DBoons Ghost]

dboons, google 'astra bertone' and you will see which can im after

Yeah I did exactly that and it looks sweet. It looks familiar to me but I know so little about GM's international doings that I don't know what the brand is there.

[Mister_Che]

I really have nothing planned outside of bills, so it'll probably go into savings.

[DBoons Ghost]

Opel is GM and opel is holden. You have the holden monaro, rebadged as a pontiac GTO, so in effect you have opel

Bingo. Evan comes through.

I knew it looked familiar.

I haven't owned an American car for a long time.

[g°®†]

My friend just got a new Pontiac GTO. It drives quietly, has some gettup, and doesn't look half bad.


I'll be curious to see how well it holds up.

[big80smullet]

Its designed and built in australia. Its essentially a two door version of the ss commodore

http://blayde.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/monaro.jpg
http://digiads.com.au/carsales/used-cars/car_ad_photos/_1014563843.63391_1.jpg

notice the simliarities. They also make them as utes
http://www.motorcities.com/media/image/640/05ICN372627895B/2005-Holden-VZ-Ute-and-Crewman-SS-Z-Press-Photos-B-640.jpeg

and this is what the newest one looks like. Its also called a chevrolet Lumina when they export them
http://www.houstoncars.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/WindowsLiveWriter/HoldenCommodoreSSPontiacG8_D728/holden-commodore-ss%5B2%5D.jpg

so the next GTO will look a bit like that one.

[DBoons Ghost]

I dislike American cars with few exceptions so I don't care much for the new GTO.

[FIGHTCRIMEALLTHETIME]

gort buy your shoes from target man they charge like 10 dollars for a pair and ive been rockin mine for over a year
its like the exact same as a 50 dollar pair except w/o the brand name

[g°®†]

I'm a fiend for New Balance .... they're the best shoes I've ever known.


Tops, I'll spend is $50.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

same, i always wear new balance, they last forever

[guitrguy]

My friend drives an '06 GTO. Going 160mph is quite scary.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

I'd imagine

the fastest i've ever been in a car is 120, and that was awesome (not driving)

[guitrguy]

I wasn't driving either. I think that fact I wasn't behind the wheel made it a little more scary. It was fun though.

[Pariah]

that fastest i've driven is like 115

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

the fastest i've driven is probably 90 on a highway

[Chaindrive]

Utilities.

[Livewire]

I have to pay off my maxed out credit card bill for books and clothes I bought

:(

[Shell]

bills, bills, bills

mo' money, mo' problems

I owe my mom a little bit, too.

[big80smullet]

I dislike American cars with few exceptions so I don't care much for the new GTO.

:angry: its not american is the whole point. Its australian. Designed Built and everything exclusively in australia. Then GM had the crazy idea to rebadge it and call it a pontiac. SO in ezzence it only has an american badge.

[guitrguy]

and muscle

[big80smullet]

eh its not even that great compared to the top of the line models. And it only comes in automatic. Dont bother you yanks though


hahaha i was watching top gear and they have an old cadillac on it that has a 5L V8 engine and only 200 horsepower. How is it possible to get so little horsepower out of such a massive engine? oh yeah america sucks at making cars

[guitrguy]

My friends GTO is manual its an '06 though.

but yeah American cars do suck.

[Pariah]

volkkswagens are probably the only cars i'll own

[big80smullet]

yes invariably so. corvette is only one half decent

[sweboy]

volkkswagens, but that's a communist car?

[big80smullet]

no its a facist car sweboy. a lada and a skoda are commie cars

[guitrguy]

and Saab

[CarnageFairy]

It's going in the bank where it will mostly sit around collecting interest until I decide to buy something expensive. Also car insurance.

I pretty much use my tips as money for gas/weed/food etc...

[angry armadillo]

the fastest i have ever driven my car was 105~, it has a 1.0l engine so i was quite impressed, i had a passenger who crapped themselves tho lol

ive driven a nissan 350z to 115 and ive been in a honda integra at 140

(all mph)

[guitrguy]

lol, did you make them clean their mess?

[CarnageFairy]

I got my saturn s series to do three digits one time...only once, not trying to kill the damn thing just yet. (I was going downhill at the time :D)

Other than that I was in my friends' nissan the night he found out his limiter stopped at 115. He wrecked that and got a beamer...not sure how fast he was going the few times I've ridden with him...I was too giddy to look at the speedometer.

God I love that car.

[g°®†]

BAM!

/just paid off another debt


one more to go.


/currently only $600 in debt. :D

[Permanent Solution]

I will pay my credit card bill and car payment, then try to save enough for the end of the month when everything else is due (insurance, rent, utilities, etc) =\
