Should I quit my monthly expenses for alcohol?

52 comments

Why no one's talking about the math? Monthly expenses add to $49,000 times 12 equal $588,000 per year. That's clearly not $300,000 and not even earning $400,000 gets you to the end of the year.
- Because the joke is about spending so much money on things like porn and alcohol. It's just a joke, no real statement of expenses.
  
  Somehow, spending 12k/m on Uber rides and the gym costing 7k/m too
  
  I don't think it's really joke. Posts like these rely on people going in and correcting every single detail they got wrong which counts as engagement for the algorithm and the post soars. Just look at the comments here.
- They're paying $7k/month for a gym membership. Bad math is the joke.

Making 400k and paying rent. Highly regarded.
- Renting doesn't just mean that you can't afford to buy. It's got other advantages, like not having to deal with repairs, upkeep, being able to move pretty much on a whim... Guess that's worth it to some ppl

How does one need to spend $8000 on a car and $12000 on Uber? Someone who makes $400k/year is definitely not driving around in a crappy car that breaks down a lot lol
- Can't drink and drive
- In NYC of all places. The subway takes you everywhere. And nobody's mentioning the porn budget. I guess this guy is subsidising all the free porn everyone else is consuming.

Ok, so this is obvious rage bait, but by pointing this out I'm making an idiot out of myself bc everyone in this thread knows that it's rage bait and just goes along, or am I overthinking this?
- The tweeter claims they spent 3k a month on their car while also spending 12k a month on uber. Think real hard and do try to take into account that this is c/shitposting.
  
  It's obviously because of the alcohol he cant actually drive the car
  
  That tweeter has a blue tick. That's all we need to know about them and their finances.
  
  Not helpful. Of course it's rage bait. I just want to know if I'm supposed to act like an idiot who doesn't get it to keep the rage baiting going or not. I can't tell if you (STRIKING2debate2) are actually stupid or just playing a dumbass
- Friend, let's discuss. I mean, do we suspect something sinister? Truly, I'm curious, cause before I deleted my reddit account, I noticed for years the algorithm going in a negative direction.

Paying for porn?
- Yup. 2.5k a month brother. How else does one get ten onlyfans models to do your bidding at any given time? You unimaginative motherfuckers out there just make them finger themselves or shove dildos inside themselves. I am the one giving them hundreds to break government firewalls and spy on my enemies.
- Strippers maybe?
  
  Always thought they were entertainment, as they are performers. Brothels would be more in line with porn, but still could easily called entertainment.
  Sounds like dude is paying for an Only Fans girlfriend experience... but then again 12000 in uber? Dude, you are in NYC take the subway.

Perhaps they confused yearly with monthly.
Reminds of a funny story. Back when I was reviewing the contract for my current job, I noticed the HR lady confused my yearly salary with monthly. That meant they were going to pay me almost $100k per month if that contract was signed!
I pointed out the mistake three times and she insisted the contract was correct. I had to contact a company director to get it corrected.
- flips table YOU POINTED OUT THE MISTAKE??!!!
  
  If I didn't, they would have figured it out before my first payment and I'd be fired on the spot without receiving a single penny.
- Clerical errors like that in contracts are typically not binding.
- 😐yes. Good move.

The 2500 a month in porn is for furry commissions.
- I haven't spent a tenth of that in my lifetime and I'm 45.

Give up the Food. Plenty of calories in alcohol.
- assuming he's drinking vodka with 40%, costing 40$/liter, hes drinking about 18k kcals per day so no need for food there

This is definitely a dril subtweet.
- my family is dying
  
  Oh yeah? Well, my family is dyeing.

yall this is a joke, you're supposed to go "lmao he says he spends 10 grand on booze and porn, that'd be one stupid ass" and instead yall are going "what a stupid ass!" or calling it fake as if it ain't a joke
- I noticed the joke when they said "$1k a month" for rent. In New York!? Fat chance. Didn't even read the rest of the break down, totally missed the porn thing lmao.
  
  He said $12k per month for rent. Not per year.

I see someone was unable to quit the gym subscription.

And I thought I had a drinking habit...
- I’ve seen NYC bar prices and yeah that much alcohol would ruin my life really fast
  
  I bet he pays like $100 a month to go to the gym and the other $6,900 is for the medical treatment he needs to survive the alcohol he's drinking

But who was tax?

How much do they spend on candles
- Asking the real question. Like, if you're spending money on premium quality porn you need to set the mood.

This is the dumbest shit I've seen in a while. Imagine believing this shit.

I live in NYC and in Manhattan to boot, and this is such mf’ing garbage. Please, any non-NYers in this thread: do NOT think these costs are accurate. These wouldn’t be accurate anywhere.
Stop trying to bait rage and disparage NYC, OP. This is a pathetic attempt and you’re a POS for making it.
EDIT: Stupid me forgot to check the forum name before I commented. Got me, OP.🤦‍♂️
- This is an obvious joke post. Why do you think it's in shitposting?
  
  Okay, fair point, I didn't check the sub name before I commented.

Welcome to my world... barely enough to survive... hell, alcohol is a luxury for me 😂.
