I just got promoted...

So suck it up with work while it's there and then leave to get ready for the Marines.

I suggest strongly that you invest in a car.

Good advice. That sounds like a pretty secure investment if you live in the ghetto.

[Zoetstofzoetje]

Yes, especially considering how cheap cars are in the US.

I've lived in crapsack areas before. The car gives you access to opportunities outside the ghetto.

[Ben Kenobi]

They are especially cheap and helpful in the US as opposed to elsewhere. You can get something decent used for a couple of grand.

[Zoetstofzoetje]

You guys are awfully used to them too. Every time I go to the U.S. and ask directions in a city, people tell me to get a cab or the subway if it's more than a mile.

Fair enough, doesn't insurance cover theft?

[Zoetstofzoetje]

and drive-byes?

[Zoetstofzoetje]

well albie, if you live in the hood, i heard of this job opportunity in public transport. what you do is, you drive around in a bus, and ask good-looking ladies if they'd like to act in a documentary. then you tape your adventure with them and release it on www.AlbiesBanana.com

I guess that can give him some consolation about his crappy job and ghetto apartment.

[giblets]

Yeah, maybe he actually did get a job related to finance after college, lives in a mansion with a couple of nice cars and after getting bored with drinking liquor and ****ing women decided to come back to Apolyton so he could troll people on the internet.

If Albie is going away to the Marines in 5 months and doesn't need a car, why should he buy one? That would be a complete waste of money for him, not to mention the hassle of dealing with a car in an urban area (I've done it, it's a pain), and then having to get rid of it once he leaves.

If these are the kinds of decisions you make with your money, no wonder you're poor.
