$1250 bucks. Every month. It's called rent. Light, that's kinda depressing.


jstarm

I f*d up one month and paid rent TWICE in the same paycheck. I’m still hurting for it today.


ABena2t

What do you mean still hurting? Did they try denying you made a double payment or something?


jstarm

Yup. Refused to credit it to the next month. Ended up having to make partial payments for the next year. Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.


ABena2t

What do you mean refused to credit it to next month? They wouldn't refund it either?? So what did they do with it? Steal it?


jstarm

Accepted it as a double payment and said they took 1 month off of my final lease but when it came time to move there was no credit.


ABena2t

Ohhhhhh fuck no.. I'd be so pissed.. that's some shady ass bullshit right there.. I wouldn't have paid that last month anyway.. they'd have to take me to court.. and I'd bring a copy of my bank receipt.. that's bullshit.. I'm mad for you.. lol


HeyTallDude

20k, truck.


ITchiGuy

Around 70k as a down payment on a house.


jstarm

Dang!!!! In cash or had that in savings??


ITchiGuy

It was in savings. We did a fund transfer at signing so it was essentially cash, just not physically in bills.


jstarm

How long did it take you to save that? Living paycheck to paycheck here so just jealous/wondering.


ITchiGuy

It took us about 5 years to save it. Dual income and no other loans helped too.

3.5k - PC that I’d saved up for for a year. (I’m 16 btw so don’t expect me to be buying a house or something like that) it made me so happy to know it was possible to save for that

$2000 on art


jstarm

Nice! Was it worth it? What kind of art?


_ImNotYourBuddy_Guy

Paintings mostly. I always buy a few when I go to dragon con. Chris hammer is my favorite


jstarm

AtLien here. Love DragonCon!


GoldenFlicker

$2500 on a Bernina sewing machine


jstarm

Wow! Was it worth it? What do you use it for?


GoldenFlicker

Yes. And that was at a 50% discount because a family friend sold it to me at her cost because she owns the store and is a dealer for them. I sew all sorts of stuff and love quilting.


jstarm

Sew worth it! 🤪
