do you justify rolex pieces as a percentage of your take home pay - assuming you take home over 100k a year?

Brew · 12 January 2020, 08:16 AM

no

wantonebad · 12 January 2020, 08:19 AM

Yep

Can you rephrase the question?

-lenny- · 12 January 2020, 09:11 AM

I buy with IOU’s.

cop414 · 12 January 2020, 09:14 AM

No

If you have to ask...

sambb · 12 January 2020, 09:44 AM

maybe it is part of discretionary but prior to ebidta? or after?

Maybe amoritize with tables at inflation?

Rashid.bk · 12 January 2020, 09:50 AM

I don’t make things like this complex and strangers aren’t informed enough on my personal life to advise me. I don’t buy watches on credit. Do I have the cash, yes or no. Simple.

locutus49 · 12 January 2020, 10:50 AM

Cash or I don't buy. But I'm not a millennial.

Lawman77 · 12 January 2020, 11:51 AM

Cash for everything.

I only eat rice and beans for every meal and the money I save goes to the watch fund....

A few hours ago; a few days ago; a few weeks ago. Any or all of the aforementioned.

I just wait for surplus to = whatever I am purchasing. Income - mortgages - investments - savings - joint savings - travel fund = surplus. Wife is on the same system and funds her luxuries with her surplus. It’s a very basic system.

Star Ferry · 12 January 2020, 01:40 PM

I don't think income matters too much. A single guy in Kentucky making 90k will have plenty ability to buy a Rolex. Somebody else might make 300k and barely be able to cover all his bills.

But this forum tends to avoid talk about income and net worth, which is IMO a good thing

East Bay Rider · 12 January 2020, 01:52 PM

Just save for something you want. Don't justify to anyone.

maybe add some x to make ebitdax too for cost of exploring ADs hoping to get lucky and building relationships HMMM

Chewbacca · 12 January 2020, 03:02 PM

No.

But I should start justifying my McDonald’s habit.

Agree, it is all relative not general, so as long as you are meeting all your responsibilities and are just using play/hobby money then you should be fine.
