Amazing to think about what people with lots of money do eh? Then you gotta buy from their restaurants and ****e.
Wow, towelie you are correct! looks like i lost all credablity in the first sentance, and acheived post number 3 at the same time. How many can say that? I'm gonna go call my mom right now!
My god wtf is that about? You have to buy and eat there too? Who the heck would do that. Even if I was rich I would refuse that deal.
It's so beyond my comprehension. Funny bc one of my sisters is kinda living the yuppie dream so to speak, and while not as exclusive as this, they just joined a 'country club' with similar policies. No jeans allowed either. I use the public golf course in my town to walk my dog in the non-golf season and to watch birds and coyotes. I maintain a nice hole in the fence. Towel, if you ever head to new england, I'll show you where I get barrelled.
I still wouldn't do it. I'm richer today than I have ever been and dream of building a 500 square foot house to get out of my 1100 square foot mansion. I also have sell everything fantasies and living in a one room 200 square foot cottage. I could never give someone the satisfaction of getting my money for a country club membership. The whole idea of it makes me want to throw up.
If my wife ever leaves me (we're doing just fine though) this is the route i'm going. I don't need much, just somewhere to lay my head, take a shower, and store my boards safely inside away from thieves.
If I ever came into dorrar like that, I would... -pay off all my family's houses, debt, etc. -open a boog only surf shoppe -have several modest houses in various locations -use the majority to fund para-military style ecological sabotage...teams of trap destroyers, development modifiers(in sensitive areas), etc. -start the seldom seen clothing line <grin>
Word. When I was younger I thought I wanted all kinds of chit but the truth is you just become a slave to your posessions.
Sure! Had I lived small since high school I would be free and clear right now. One good thing about those hoarding shows, they give an exagerated view of how limiting over consumption is. Forget about the political manipulation of the concept but the actual toll it takes on all of us as individuals and our idea of freedom. Too much stuff is a prison sentence, and the life wasted to earn the money to buy the garbage. The true value of anything is the amount of life spent to acquire it, that's Thoreau.
