Here's what the issue is. If I say I make $100k+ a year and drop $20k into investments people see it as cocky.

If I posted that I make $12 per hour and got a raise to $14 an hour and saved up to buy a car it'd be a huge gz thread. Its not talking about money that bothers people, it's talking about a lot of money that bothers people I think. I see people post all the time about raises and promos and things they buy and people are thrilled, but god forbid I make more than the average person, then I'm just an asshole

She is we never fight, but we disagree on plenty. We just would never intend to hurt one another, so no issue ever turns into a fight. I think that's what makes us special. She's extremely kind, clever, witty and a cutie. Everything I could ever want

How long you been together for now?

I hope she doesn't fuck some other dude at some point in time.

Girls be crazy.

And she found a dependable cuck that will overpay for a days worth of food

Talking about lots of money isn't what bothers people. Lack of social awareness is what bothers people.

Everything depends on the situation. You remind me a lot of my brother when we used to game together (Diablo, WoW, Guild Wars, that type of games). No matter what the context was, he just couldn't resist the urge to talk about his latest sexual conquest. Someone would mention the word "pussy" or "tits" or "ass" and my brother would immediately jump the gun and take this as an opportunity to the awesome pussy/tits/ass he got to play with the other day. If he'd have done that in a pub, people would probably not have minded. However, in those MMORPGs where a large percentage of the people are awkward nerds who spend their time at home and couldn't even dream of touching a female person's interesting body parts, this was perceived as offensive. And instead of changing his behavior, my brother just kept on blaming the people who didn't enjoy his bragging. And yes, it was bragging, even if he was just "sharing some funny anecdotes" as he put it.

You're exactly the same. You're fully aware of the fact that 95% of the people in your age group can't even dream of making as much as you. So indeed, when you talk about numbers that most of us cannot relate to, expect people to get pissed. It's not jealousy, it's not envy, it's simply annoyance at the fact that you have zero tact regarding how you talk about the stuff that makes you proud.

If you you think I'm wrong, just try to imagine how your "I make $12 per hour and got a raise to $14 an hour" story would be received if you told it to the people in a homeless shelter.



Really, having some social awareness is not that difficult. It only requires you to at least consider the possibility that you're doing something wrong instead of always blaming the other party whenever someone doesn't like what you say.

Because when you make significantly above average it doesn't impact you to drop 20k a year in investments. It doesn't hit you very hard. However if you drop 20k a year but make average or below that actually took sacrifice and dedication to save that much money.

What you guys eating ? Goldsoup ?

I think people should stop being crabs and trying to pull each other down when we should be trying to raise each other up.
Getting angry because some one makes more money that you and is proud of that fact is not going to make you any richer, the some one else has more so i hate them mentality is just as bad as the some one else has less so they must be lazy mentality.

So you're gonna be rich in a few months and you'll be married by then. How can you feel bad for investing money? Srsly, I'd kick your ass if I were your wife so you could start to appreciate what you've got -.-"





I think you both are right. Yes, tact and social awareness matters. But getting offended for someone being happy and living without economical issues... it's disgusting, and trust me, I'm one of the poorest guys here




Wtf's wrong if you make 120k/year? Gz for you, probably studied a lot and have a job with a lot of responsabilities. Dont mind what people says while feeling envy
