It's pretty funny how this thread now has 200 replies

It doesn't matter what others think, BUT I did start this thread to get opinions.

I'll have the best of both worlds next year: nice / fast car and a nice roof over my head

Well at least I am doing good these days (compared to a lot of people out there & including many on these forums (this and others)). >>>

Great job -- lots of people can not say that. There are many adults who don't even have jobs with many years in school.

Nice car -- The car I have now is nice / paid off

Savings -- No credit card debt and putting away over 1k a month

**However I did recently sell my 246 dvd collection to eliminate the c.c. debt

YOu didn't answer my question...

But of course, most of those people don't sleep in a bunk bed with their younger brothers. Your post sounds really, really immature.

I can't contain myself anymore. This thread is killing me. Civic's posts have always amused me in how much they sound like a young teenager. Someone who is thinking about buying a house and doing adult things like that but still talks about "banging" his girlfriend on the top bunk is just too wack for words. Despite the fact that you think you've got it so great you should take the advice here: Pay your folks what they want or move out. Get the car if you want, but I don't think you should live at home in that case.

My girlfriend and I are in the process of buying a house but it's an all-encompassing process. Considering how much it's going to cost (you folks would VOMIT if you saw the sale prices around here), it takes top priority. But I wouldn't tell someone what their priorities should be. Make the car your top priority, but then you should look at everything else with that perspective in mind. Can't complain about your living environment if everything is going into a car. My only piece of advice would be to talk a little more respectfully about your girlfriend. You sound sleazy, especially since this is for the whole world to see. I remember you talking about other girls in pretty disrespectful ways in the past too. It's kinda uncool.

By the way, I still don't understand the macho appeal of the cars you're talking about. My mom's Honda looks slicker than that.

Civic, you keep acting like a teenager. Yes, count your blessings about your job, but to say that some people are 'not doing good' because they have a 'lesser' job than you is a slap in the face. Have you seen the crappy economy lately? Everyone who has a job period is lucky. Yes, after going to school they still get lesser jobs because when everyone's looking for jobs, the employers have more leverage and can underpay people.

Now you really are sounding like a spoiled little teenager.

I am doing great, my job is great, my car is great, my girlfriend is great, now if my parents would just tell my brother to let me have the bottom bunk my life would be complete.

Sorry, but I'll have to disagree with you here. A person's income is the best indicator how hard of a worker they are and their overall worth as a human being.

Knowing your posting style I'm guessing this is sarcasm.

You get an

Gatordeb gets an

Buskerdog gets an

I keep thinking about what I was like when I was 25 and I keep having to go back to 15 or sixteen to relate

Ok....so you can afford to set aside $1,000 a month and are bitching about rent? I think teenager is a bit too generous....you're acting more like a 6 year old than any teenager I know....

I keep thinking I'd rather work at McDonalds and live in a trailer then live at home, even if I had my own room (much less a bunkbed), at 25.

He's 25

I assumed we were talking about a 16-18 year old who had a funny car fascination.

Oh bfrank(missing appropriate smiley).

Let me start off by saying I wish you the best of luck.

But as long as your new car is your top priority, and it is very evidient that it is by your posts in this thread.

I, sadly, feel that in 1 years time we will be reading a thread about how your parents are kicking you out of their home. Because you have the fast car(which they feel is a waste of money), the house you want is way more then you can afford and you're $100 a month rent isn't cutting it and they want you to be an adult and on your own.

Just another tidbit. Since you are set on getting your car....figure out what that money's real value is when compared to adding it to the down payment.

A 5k investment in a car turns into a HUGE hole in your wallet down the road....depreciation...oh yeah..and something called interest. Having a loan at 90k at 5.75% instead of 95k at 5.75% is a big difference. (Just pulled numbers out of the air...but you'll get the picture when you do the math)

-pedagogue

I think I can safely guarantee that it was sarcasm...

Here ya' go.

I know what you mean, I'm doing good these days, too (compared to a lot of people out there who are starting new jobs and have to live with their parents because they're worried about a 1 year probationary period & including at least one in these threads (this and others)). >>>

There are also many adults who don't have to share a bunk bed with their adult brother.

Good for you, bad for your parents as they watch their retirement savings steadily decrease while you and the Beaver sit in your bunk beds, eating potato chips and oreos and talking about your phat ride.

Have there been 246 volumes of "Girls Gone Wild" already?

@ Shoveler

Aren't you a security screener at an airport LX98Civic?

That's right! I remember that thread. Awesome job security! Isn't the whole point of the new screener policy that they can fire them at will?

i wonder what kinda boxed set that came in

Are we at all sure he can "do the math"?

Ah yes, the rich upper-crust.



"I'd search your bag, but I don't dare touch the belongings of common riff-raff such as yourself."

When you get rid of your Civic, what will your new user name be on here?

Sleeping With Brother

BunkBed

Any other ideas?

It's even funnier that every single person is saying the same thing in their replies. Except 1.

Then why the hell did you post your "situation" in the first place. Oh, wait a minute. I get it. It only doesn't matter what people think when they tell you you are wrong. Yeah, everyone is wrong but you.

A lot can change in a year.

It's truly sad you don't realize how pathetic your excuses sound. I have never seen a thread in this forum where EVERYONE agrees on the same thing. Everyone. Man, you really need to wake up and take a look at the real world.

If I were your parents, I would kick your ass out of the house. Let you see what life is like outside of the fantasy realm you are living in.

I'd also like to chime in yet again with the recent responses from LX.

I've been following this thread since I made my comment about my life, and no one has mentioned anything about me which is good.

LOok dude, seriously, you are acting like a spoiled rich kid here... relax. Just take a step back, and ask yourself this question :

"Why?"

"Why do I have a "great job" "great money" "great car" and live at home with mom and dad?

Just out of curiousity, do you do your own laundry or does mom do that too?
