Trust me. I can afford to buy a new car, with cash. I drive all of 20 miles per week, so seemingly don't need a new car, do I? There, I let you know.

Why does he have to tell you how much money he is saving for his kids college education? It is his business.
It isn't a competition. I think his response was appropiate. I don't get why you feel you need to give people financial advice. When you can afford to buy a new car let us know.

Yeah what gets me the most is he has this arrogant attitude that what he is doing is so much better than us. I don't get how he thinks he is so much better than everyone else either. And this sob story.
James ,My mom had an 8th grade education and grew up in Nazi Germany. She came to this country at 28 and couldn't speak English. My father never gave me or my sister anything and he didn't graduate from college. No one paid for our college. No one gave us anything.
My sister bought a million dollar house in Fairfax City and paid cash. My mom paid cash for her brand new condo. We owe less than 50k on our house. Most of us are adults and know how to manage our household. We don't need your advice James. If we did we would ask for it. And if my Mom or my Mother-in-law needed money I would expect my wife or me to give what we wanted to them without the other partner telling us we couldn't.
If you pay off your house let us know. That is something to be proud of. Telling us we are wrong and you are right is just annoying as hell.
the atomic story continues to fascinate me.

My total miles on my commute during the weeks is 25 miles. I walk home if I have to much to drink at happy hour. And I have a new car. And when you mean you can pay cash for a new car you mean a Nissan Versa sedan, don't you? The real question is would your wife let you buy a new car?
Yes, my wife would let me buy a new car. I have enough money to buy something much nicer than a Nissan Versa. But I count that money as "life insurance" money. Rather than paying money to an insurance company for life insurance.
Why spend money on a car I don't need? It makes no sense.

A new car would be much safer than your current ride.
Here is my financial advice to you. Cash out the 401k. Buy yourself an Audi R8. Go to Neiman Marcus and spend like there is no tomorrow. Don't forget to buy something nice for your mom and then go on an around world the vacation leaving the wife and kid at home. You only live once. Why not live it up a bit.

No it would not because I don't accept you have any right to know anything about my finances or how I spend money for concerts or not….
the point is its none of your business what other people do with their money or whether they are as cheap as you are;yes cheap people always think they are "thrifty" and "smart" with their money..trust me nobody walks around thinking they're cheap but if you've been around this world a while you know there are cheap people out there…. and for you to constantly make it your business what others do with their money is rude.
like I said..if you don't get it man…you don't get it…
I mean people have to explain their financial decisions to YOU because of exactly WHY? who the fuck are you? My financial advisor? A financial advisor of any sort?
You have a very bad tendency to like to tell others what the right thing to do is- invariably whatever you are doing- without knowing them or their circumstances at all…. when they protest- as I'm doing- you try to bait them into telling you about their finances or what have you…
i'm done with this.

Only when I'm in Orange County and do as the locals do.
The only chains I can think of that I go to are:
Starbucks (frappuchino sugar fixes)

Noodles and Company (my daughter makes me)
Papa Johns (my daughter makes me)
Whole Foods (wife is a shareholder)
