Let's backtrack for a moment. This thread's title: I Spent $23,000 Today.

I call it cocky and arrogant because it is cocky and arrogant.



I'm aware of the fact that you're knowledgeable about business and finances. I see people recommending you for such advice on weekly basis, and your opinions in business related threads are usually a good read. I have this opinion of you because of these things -- not because of any of the numbers you've ever mentioned regarding your personal finances and achievements.

Personally, I frequently help people with questions regarding programming, IT, music theory/performance/recording. Most of them have never heard any of my own music or seen any of my own IT projects, and none of the people I've ever helped have the slightest clue regarding how much money I make. That's because I can convey useful input without needing to brag about what I have done myself. Interesting, isn't it?

Haha honestly man, I just like talking about money/investing and how to acquire more and I like helping people understand the world of finance/investing because it can be pretty daunting if you don't know a lot about it. That's pretty much my main reason in talking about what I do here.

I think people are just insecure talking about money, so they deflect that against people who are comfortable talking about it and immediately say it's arrogance, regardless of how much either person has.

you're talking to the burgeoning "lefty-class" who believe that their glorious government should be the only ones to spend money and give them free stuff while they game and party.

I made this thread because it was just wild to shell out $23k in a day, but it's not like I'm posting that I shelled out $23k on a toy or some luxury. It was to cover the costs of my wedding and for investments.

I use myself as an example in a lot of my threads to try to show people that normal people using JSP are able to do things that maybe they didn't think they were capable of. I've told my life story on here a million times about how I made a lower-middle class upbringing with 2 non-college educated parents into a pretty successful career. I do that so people can see the reality of it through story rather than just seeing facts and numbers.

The food and venue for your wedding cost $17,000. How is that not a pure luxury-driver expense?
