Title: Personal Finance Memes & Gifs...do share ;)
Post by: fitzgeralday on June 12, 2014, 03:04:38 PM
I'm a big fan of memes and gifs in general (people on the interwebs are so creative & witty!) and wanted to hunt down and share a few that reflected the personal finance mentality that is present around these parts while encouraging others to do the same.  Let the share fest begin!

I don't get it.... so the cost is linear, with a slope < 1?  Stuff costs money to own?

Yes, it costs money to store and own and maintain things. That's the graph!

If you need to find a house with an extra bedroom to hold all of your "stuff" or you move and have to pay to rent the bigger U-Haul, then stuff definitely costs money to own.

Barbaz, I don't doubt for a second that you can be a badass mustachian parent. This was meant as a light-hearted joke. If I posted the same picture commenting ''as a mother using washable cloth diapers, I can relate to this'', I'm sure it would have come across as mustachian.

There are plenty of memes that address CFBC's finances (rolling in cash or spending money foolishly), it's a huge stereotype. Knowing there are many CFCB mustachians, I thought we might as well laugh about it. :)

Post by: barbaz on July 27, 2015, 03:12:15 AM
I understood it as a joke :-) It's just that it's totally ridiculous how much you're supposed to spend as a parent and how much of that is actually unnecessary, but if you never had children you might not know that and thus wrongly believe that having children means financial doom. (It also depends a lot on your social system)

But we all know what really kills your FI: pets

Old school mustachian.

Haha, this one I have not seen but it's great.   Reminds me of this:

Quote
Yo, stop at the deli, the theater's overpriced
You got the back pack? Gonna pack it up nice
Don't want security to get suspicious
MrPibb and Red Vines equals crazy delicious

Yo, reach in my pocket, pull out some dough
Girl acted like she'd never seen a ten befo'
It's all about the Hamilton's, baby
Throw the snacks in the bag
And I'm a ghost like Swayze

Roll up to the theater, ticket buyin'
What we're handlin', you can call us Aaron Burr
From the way we're droppin' Hamilton's

It's not that absurd.

Switch to Republic Wireless, get some energy efficient bulbs, cook at home more, maybe get a roommate to cut that rent down, and he can get most of those categories quite a bit lower.

Probably drop his monthly spend down from $4900 to $4300, a savings of  $600/mo = $7200/yr.  That's $180,000 less he needs to have saved using the 4% rule, just by trimming his food, data, rent, and utility bills.

I remember bringing a duffel bag to the bank to withdraw 13k for a motorcycle purchase (before mustachianism). It fit in an envelope, not even particularly stuffed. So 8 kinda full envelopes.

This briefly did the rounds again after the (GBP £) pound crashed and burned. Many a person thought they were minted or investment geniuses because their investments went up (when measured in GBP) even though their global purchasing power went down.

Not to derail here but if I convert a bunch of my money to USD (or USD investments), and then the pound crashes vs the dollar it's still a good (or lucky) move that makes me real money.

Not only have I preserved my global purchasing power  by doing so but for most people 99% of their spending is in local currency anyways, so you win.

Part of my strategy is to hold a large chunk of my investments in USD as a hedge - it reduces volatility tremendously.

I think this only works though if the factors that drive your home currency are sufficiently different from the USD - this probably would not work in reverse since for most US investors foreign currency would probably amplify volatility.

Should have specified, this was people in the UK investing in GBP based international investments, who would be spending in GBP. In the lag between the GBP dropping and prices rising there was a benefit. But having £30 that buys you 10 Big Macs doesn't make you richer than having £40 that buys you 10 Big Macs, ceteris paribus, IMO.

You people have never worked in food service(or as a stripper?) have you?  Wait tables, and you can accumulate a lot of 1's. 100 bucks in crusty ones feels way more impressive for some reason than 1 crisp 100.

Am I the only one...

OK, OK, don't shoot! I admit I was soft, I didn't have MMM FI money until I was 54 yrs old.
I'm now 62 and mostly RE with more than MMM FI. I can afford to be soft.

I assume it's more in response to the recent glut of people excusing face-punch worthy extravagance. "Oh, yes buy the new SUV, it makes sense for you. It's ok, I spend $$$ on eating out every other day too!"

  There are variants of 'Soft'.
 My newest vehicle is 10 years old (business) my oldest is 20 yrs old. (personal)
 I have a lunch out maybe twice a week, yesterday I spent $6.49 to feed two of us.
Dinner out is more like once a month.

Same here--I remember seeing this a number of years ago and discovering that my eyes were leaking as I got to the end.  ;-)

Had to share this one, it reminded me of a few times my manager asked me the same question during my last few years. I always gave a  business appropriate answer, but I was always thinking "on a beach in Mexico."

I saw one this morning that reminded us introverts that we need to check in on our extrovert friends during this stressful period.

I shit you not - a temp working for us called me this morning asking for an advance on her paycheck (no) because her new Michael Kors purse got stolen and the only money she had was $20 in cash.

I love this one. Except that meme needs another 0 in it. My wife is into the Chanel and LV.

Realizing how many hours at my job my cheapo Kmart shoes cost is what finally got me to go back to college back in the 90's. And I was earning slightly more than minimum wage at the time.

I laugh a little when I see that one because that's kind of how I view myself in life... surrounded by people "living their best life" and having a great time...and I just can't seem to enjoy myself in the same way because I've come to that realization.  After knowing that, the whole world changes...

Sometimes... I wish I was able to let myself go and have fun without worrying about tomorrow.  But that's just the way I'm wired.
