My neighbor who is a year older than me bought a BMW today for cash, 70k dollar car

My neighbor who is a year older than me bought a BMW today for cash, 70k dollar car.

Same day, I was out looking for used Civics because my 2008 Mazda died.

My mom kept pointing out how much he must make to pay cash. Well he's a longshoreman and brings in over 100k a year. I'm bringing in 55k.

It actually didn't really bother me up until now what other had vs what I have. I work for the government in an office environment. But now I'm looking at different trades I could get into or potentially even look into being a longshoreman myself.

I don't know why I feel so bothered and jealous now. It's really unlike me. I feel useless, no matter how far I go along my career path Im never gonna top what he's doing at 23.

user it's a car. A piece of metal that will devalue and he'll probably wrap it around a tree.

you're too gay for america go be communist somewhere

>is jealous of semi wealthy neighbor and not bill gates or the ZUCC or trump with billions

I make 22k a year. Im still pretty content. The amount of money isnt the issue.its perspective.

You're earning a perfectly fine amount. His priorities are probably a little out of whack.

this. OP this is the best reply you’ll get

You're bothered because your mom got a taste of that Big Black Money Cock. You see how easy it is? He just bought a nice car and your mom is instantly on her back spreading up her legs, mentally begging him to come over and stretch, really stretch that juicy mature kobe milf pussy of hers, creampie inside her cunt, mouth and face.

That's the M in LMS. Preach.

Your neighbor is in bed with the mob, of course he has more money than you.

70000 what, pesos??
your story makes no sense, he is either financing the vehicle or somehow dropped nearly 100% of his take-home pay all at once on one car

Your neighbour spent approx 70% of his yearly income, in cash, on an extremely quickly depreciating asset. He is a moron.

If he owns his house and keeps his expenses low he could easily save that much in 2 years. You must be shit with your finances if you have $0 at the start of every financial year.

>23 year old blue collar worker pays off house at 21
you must have shit for brains, he either lives with his parents and blew his entire net worth on a car or is a millionaire who works for fun

this is some serious level of C O P E.
Do all poorfags delude themselves into thinking that wealth does not bring happiness? Is this how you go to sleep at night?

You are shit with your finances if you blow 2 years of savings on a something that depreciates in value so quickly. Especially if you could fulfill the primary function of the purchase at a fraction of the cost.

Buying a 70k car with only 100k income reeks of insecurity.

probably a lease. BMW leases are much more advantageous than purchasing them outright. BMW artificially inflate the residual values to control secondary sales channels.

having said that,
>Especially if you could fulfill the primary function of the purchase at a fraction of the cost.
Cars are toys. Clearly you don't understand that.

I make 150k @ 27

doesn't feel like a big deal

not like I have any friends to spend it with

I'm 32 and i make 375k. Trust me, it doesn't get better. You get older and your toys get more expensive, but that hole inside you never gets filled.

Make some friends, losers.

I'm 25 and I make 500k a year sans bonuses. You guys believe me, right?

Love brings happiness. Wealth brings fake happiness that can't fill the void of lack of love.

How? Literally I rarely meet anyone new my age through my work and none of my hobbies lend themselves to meeting fashionable people either.

When you're in the 1% the rest of population avoids you like the plague because they can't relate to your wealth or they find you weird even if you hide it

It feels draining avoiding the subject of money or career when I'm around people so my motivation to hang out with other guys (as opposed of golddigging women) is low

Occasionally I'll meet another guy who is career-oriented and we'll share advice but the relationship is just that - economically driven

i discovered the dark truth yesterday

no matter how much people earn, all they will eve do is work, go home and watch tv

not many people actually do anything interesting with their time off - money is a minor factor in that

>I don't know why I feel so bothered and jealous now.
It's called envy. It's the sort of thing that ruins relationships with coworkers, neighbors, friends and family.

Looking to improve your life is fine. But never use other people's lives as the standard to judge yourself. You'll be miserable.

What do you do when you're a rich guy but you just want friends to play games and do cute things like pic related?

I can't take normie rich people society

You play games and do cute things. Nothing's preventing you from that; you're rich.

How do you meet people like that when you're approaching 30

I'm the simultaneously the highest level professional and the most childish person I know

Most rich people I know actually don't drive expensive cars, a 70k car at more than 100k is way too expensive. So don't worry about it.

I don't even have a license

I just take public transport / taxis

Actually money is the only factor in why this is true, and the darker truth is the entire monetary system of motivation really only suits the needs of the richest who perpetuate it. None of this work takes our species anywhere, and it makes us weaker as we grovel and compete amongst ourselves.

OP if you really want to upgrade your life, put some work into finding a passion you can profit from and the rest will come in time. Also, is your mom hot?

it means a lot because you cant have it

once you have it means nothing more than a bike you would use as a kid, it doesnt bring happiness it just helps you move faster

Many people are still working at McDonalds or studying at home when they're 23, and will likely go on to make only 50k a year. Don't let it bother you.

I make like 30k a year and it only takes me a month to save like 2k

people are just really retarded when it comes to money

>has 55k a year
>complains

Mate i bring in like 6k a year at 21 after college and I'm the best English speaker on the market in my area. Socialism sucks.

Why do people assume rich people cant also have love? Does money lock that option out? InB4 >Hur anyone who shows interest is a gold digger

Who gives a shit, what he owns. Consumerism is just compensation for lack of an answer to the existence of life. Don't let yourself be bothered by that shit. Do whatever you feel comfortable with instead of letting others dictate what you should feel comfortable with

>look I'm poor among the poorest so you shoudn't complain about being poor among richest

OP: I make around 150k a year and I recently bought a brand new top of the line truck for like 80k.

Biggest regret of my life. Such a waste of money. Your neighbour may not realize this yet, but he eventually will.

100k a year? What the fuck? For a blue collar job? Why do longshoremen that king of money

Blue collar workers can make a lot of money and retire early. Plumbers for example can pull 200K a year if they're good. This idea that blue collar jobs have low payouts or are generally not worth doing is a meme among millennials.

Union.

Just paid $800 for a up-across-and down simple 220 line for a dryer... (would have done it myself had I known it was going to be that much), so yeah, blue collar jobs are good careers.

I have a collegue at work who has sunk hundreds if not thousands of hours into restoring a boat and basically rebuilding it from scratch while also filling his home with very expensive wifi loudspeakers

He basically has 600-800 hours of fucking overtime every year (he's a bit of a rascal about it, one day he did 24 hours straight, went home and slept and took another shift the day after)

And fuck me if he doesn't start to look haggard as fuck. He is not 50 yet I believe, but he looks like he should go on retirement.

Guess the moral is you can grind yourself to the bones to get expensive toys, but it catches up on you and there is a massive price to pay

You neighbor does not understand good financial strategy. He could have kept the money in a fund, making more than the 0.09% financing offered from BMW and paid it off.

they retire early because they have to, they worked 90 hour weeks and ruined their body

your mom is a piece of garbage. making you feel that way

The fuck, how?
Assuming 30k is after taxes, that's only 500 a month you can spend on:
>Rent
>Electric/Heating/Gas
>Water/Sewer/Trash
>Internet
>Car/Home Insurance
>Travel costs
>Food costs
And that's not including investments directly from your employer or union.

You're coveting your neighbors possessions, guy. It could be a good idea or really stupid for your neighbor to purchase that car we don't know. There's no reason to be jealous or mad, he brought himself a car, good for him.

Work is supposed to be something you have to do to support your life, its not supposed to be your life. Have you looked at other jobs that you're qualified for, maybe they have better compensation or location for the similar work.

I make like 90k a year and it only takes me 2 weeks to save like 2k

People are just really poor when it comes to this user.

>Assuming 30k after taxes
Well its probably not but if 2500 for a single person a month is difficult you're super bad with money and/or live in a expensive cost of living area.

I'll take the bait.
Claim is somebody can save 2k a month making 30,000. That's spending 500 out of 2500 a month.

You assumed bills for the savings, I assumed more like me only cellphone bill, some food, etc. for savings BUT was referring being easily able to live on 2500 a month unless you live in a high cost of living area.

Seriously its the only logical conclusion to how.

Why the fuck do you need a 70k car? 55k is fine and you will go up in time. I only make 20k a year right now and I still manage just fine by keeping my expenses low.

1. Don't compare yourself to other people

2.

>Buying cars new

Literally the second the car leaves the lot it's value has decreased immensely. There's zero reason to buy a car new unless you're a genuine retard.

3.

>Buying a Luxury Car (BMW, Lexus, Audi, etc.)

Enjoy having to take it to the dealer every time it routinely breaks down because they're specifically designed to only be able to be serviced at specialty dealers which are expensive af.
Whatever, it's a seperate tangent. For one thing OP, who cares how much your neighbor makes and what he spends his money. Seeing that he made an awful financial decision to buy a new Beamer with his money rather than spend it on something more modest or investing in something else is very telling of his personality.

Money is important for one's happiness only up to a certain point. Studies show that once you make up $70k money really has no effect on your happiness. And even more studies show that people who live in poverty rate among some of the happiest people in the world.

Ditch your materialistic viewpoint of the world. Don't confuse price point with quality. Often times the best product is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but rather somewhere in the middle. That's where research comes in to find the absolute best buy. Embrace modesty because unless you're a mumble rapper or embrace your inner Jeff Bezos to create some new hot commodity or service, you're not going to live the lavish life you lust after which is honestly fucking retarded anyways.

Yeah, I'm projecting, but fuck it. Be more modest and stop caring about what other people have.

Rich people are rich in wealth, because they are looking for love. Once you find love, it fulfills. Simple as
