on hold with amex fraud services

Not really. More like wasting money out the ****ing ass. Do you know how much money you would have saved if you ate at home?

Just because you're making money doesn't mean you have to be a baller. You'd think someone like you wouldn't have a ghetto mentality.

From amex's analysis it looks like we've spent 14k or so in bars and restaurants in the last 12 months. We've also saved well over 100k.

Al is probably going to lose his mind over this.

[Hauldren Collider]

He nearly lost his mind when he discovered that I made more per hour last summer than he had in his entire life, so I think this will probably cause his head to explode like Mount Vesuvius.

He would really freak out about the 3.5k bar bill my friend working at another firm just rang up on his wife's bday, then...

That's like 100 drinks in NYC.

Bottle service.

BTW, the usual means of obtaining card info is in restaurants. The waiter takes your card and skims the card before running the legitimate transaction.

This is why I always dine and dash.

Bottle service.

That pencils out to about 35 bucks per drink, no?

[Al B. Sure!]

Ridiculous. You'd think someone working in finance would have some sense of frugality. It's like you work for the government

[Jon Miller]

He only spent ~2x what many postdocs spend... if he was really extravagant he would spend far more.

If he's saving 100K per year, then there's not much impetus to eat frugally and save 110K per year

[rah]

what he said.

Exactly.

Uh...no, actually.

Also, I'm not sure why you think I'm not living frugally; it's a relative concept.
