Dunno about that...

jesus was all about giving your shit to the poor. If you're rich then you're not doing well in terms of salvation. What was that verse about the camel and the eye of the needle? I'm sure you know it.

You don't need to be religious to realize that love of money can make people do some twisted stuff. That and materialistic people (because they value material possessions over everything else) probably do get a lot of sorrow in life. I think this because its a never ending thing with people like that. almost like a constant reinforcement. Obviously this is just my opinion, and of course even people who are not materialistic can do twisted things too. It's just to me materialism seems short sighted especially when I realize that in their pursuit of materialistic desire they abandon human interaction (humans which have emotions, feelings, etc). I almost see it as a distraction in a way.

also this forum has some serious issues... you got people hating on poors, gays, racism.. even discounting the trolling there seems a disproportionate amount of hate; I guess shay was right about these forums. Btw I am not saying the christian people hate gays (as I know that, they just consider homo-sex a sin) just thought I'd clear that up too.

I have roughly 25k saved up because I'm a little over half way to buying an engagement ring. Three months salary is a fucking bitch man.

$12k in cash and $25k in investments. I'm just shy of 2 years out of school so I'm satisfied.

I grew up hoarding money and I always loved biblical references to prudence, I hope to keep growing the pot until I die.

One of the benefits of marrying in college. Three months salary was 3K

One of the benefits of not getting married

Congrats though tcock

Emergency fund was depleted for my new home which I'll be officially moved into on the 24th. Think there's like 800 bucks left in it right now.
Emergency fund had about 15k in it, which went towards closing costs, new furniture, hauling away old junk, paid my truck payments for the next year, and a little bit of spending cash to get odds and ends that the new place will need.
I guess I could sell my boat if an emergency came up, was actually planning on it to go towards the new house, but turns out the driveway extends back far enough that it will fit. So keeping the boat, going to sell the car though. I don't drive it enough to keep paying for the insurance x.x

Keep the boat and sell the car? I don't know your life, but that sounds questionable.

I own a 2014 silverado and a 2013 malibu, I purchased the truck for work, been driving the car less and less. It actually hasn't been driven in about a month.

My Main focus has been dropping down my debts... and RESP

But the more I think about it liquid assets are nice too
