Current Events > I don't understand how anyone thinking 1k is a lot of money

(+) Yeah! (+)

Unless you're in school or a minor it shouldn't be an issue. I just had a buddy freak out that they had a 1k car repair. Like bro, you're 35 years.

Well you can get 1000 McDoubles from McDonalds so that is a lot of food

Depends on what its being used for

Where do you live that still has a McDouble for $1?

Theyre like $2.39 these days

"You mean they just... don't have as much money as me...?

I don't understand."

I spend about 15k a year so that's a ton of money to me

not everyone is willing to live the rat race

---

I wouldn't wanna pay a 1k car repair either. Spending money like it's nothing just because you have it is how you end up living paycheck to paycheck.

---

This is weak bait.

With all the mandatory things you gotta pay for, 1k is a shit load of money. It would take me 2 months to save that up with the job I have. But that assumes no emergencies pop up...

"Get a new job / education / sell stuff"
Yeah, if I were capable of learning. Lost that ability many years ago. I have no skills, too, so I'm stuck doing bitch work. Can't make a product with no skills, no money, no connections.

You have a valid reason. He is just terrible with finances.

$1,000 is a lot of money. It is literally one thousand dollars. That ain't cheap.

Half the country doesn't have enough money to handle a $500 dollar emergency.

---

I can handle a 1k surprise expense with no problem. Doesn't mean I'm going to be happy about it.

---

I'm doing just fine financially, and a 1k car repair bill would still make my ass itch

It may not be a lot of money but it's not an insignificant amount of money either

They have no one to blame but themselves. These are the same people who need a new phone every year.

This. Also, that's bad math considering there is tax.

I looked it up and That's actually a small percentage of phone users, most either wait until their contract allows an upgrade or their phone dies. The average replacement time is 2-3 years.

For $1 each? What is is 2005?

I looked it up and my local mcdonalds charges 1.39 for a mcdouble, or $2 with bacon, before tax of course.
