Finally a proper blow! Got myself a Tesla Model X.
Outstanding! And Norway is certainly the place for it. May you have great joy from it.

Finally a proper blow! Got myself a Tesla Model X.
I bought one this year myself. Nice not having to spend any time at gas stations.
So much for your screen name!
I get your point. For me it was a choice of having 3.9 million in net worth and continue driving a Prius (excellent car, they are everywhere in CA.) or buying 2 Tesla's and having 3.8 mil. I chose the latter.
My miserly ways put me in a position to have the disposable cash to afford my purchases. What's the point of accumulating money if its not used to improve one's life?
The Model 3 received the highest safety rating in the last 7 years from the NHTSA. I think automobile safety should be a priority.
Lastly, I appreciate all the good financial advice you write in your posts. I always pay close attention to them.
Do you have any concerns with Tesla as an ongoing business concern?
i.e. service and parts down the road, etc....
You all, I cannot BELIEVE that I just did this!!! OMG OMG OMG
This is totally, completely frivolous and not a need at all. Anyway, I just ordered a brand new Dell laptop computer with tons of resources including a 17" monitor and an SSD drive.
OK, I admit it, we all have weaknesses and mine is that I have a *thing* about new computers. Nothing in the world is more fun for me than getting and setting up a shiny new computer. My present workhorse of a computer is perfectly fine. I really do not need a new laptop, especially one tricked out this nicely, but I want one and delivery is Tuesday.
See, the thing is (excuse follows): My projected annual spending for 2018 is down $12K from what it usually is. And, I have higher SS this year too. Just the extra SS between now and the end of the year would cover it.
Anyway, I am so excited! "Dude, it's a Dell!", and with a big 17" display, too. I'll give my present perfectly good Acer laptop computer to Frank. Blow that Dough!
I know! I don't need a new laptop at all, which is why this is a "blow that dough" event rather than just a "replacement of necessary household items" event. My present laptop is only 18 months old. This is sort of like those women with the purse obsessions I guess, or the guys who go around buying more cars than they have hands to drive them.I thought you just bought a new laptop. Geez, I would probably have offered to buy your old new computer if you weren't sending it next door...
CONGRATULATIONS!Finally a proper blow! Got myself a Tesla Model X.
You all, I cannot BELIEVE that I just did this!!! OMG OMG OMG
I see that RobbieB has been a bad influence on you....
Hehe, nah, look at her dance! She's happy and joyous and full of zip.
That's how blowing the dough is supposed to make you feel -
1%? Groan. Here I am trying to hold it to 4. My goodness.I must admit that this thread has made me think twice about my spending habits. But really, until I manage to get my WR up as high as 1% then I might as well just let loose and buy some stuff.
I must admit that this thread has made me think twice about my spending habits. But really, until I manage to get my WR up as high as 1% then I might as well just let loose and buy some stuff just for the fun of it.
Good! You understand why I bought it. I over-engineered my retirement and don't want anything else that I can think of. I absolutely do NOT need it but gosh, it is going to be so nifty.1%? Groan. Here I am trying to hold it to 4. My goodness.
Honestly this is the kind of thing I never thought I would do! I usually try to be more sensible. Anyway, this is going to be such fun.One has to admit, it is very pleasing to see someone really enjoy a purchase.
I do, too!W2R, I thought you finally bought that SUV you've been eyeing. Oh well, I think shiney new laptops are more fun than cars anyway.
Maybe so! I just had an unexplainable desire to change it to Shirley Temple late last night. This was before deciding to buy the new laptop, so maybe I was subconsciously trying to tell myself to go ahead and do it.That explains the change in avatar...
