Yeah, I know what you mean.Lives at home. School teacher. No money.
Join the dots.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
But she earns decent money (she's just about to turn 23) and is on I think $64k.
Just so reckless and then whinges and complains when it can all be avoided. I get you wanna go out and have fun etc, but don't complain when you're broke because you decided to buy a heap of s**t you don't need and get your nails done every two weeks.
Very true in that regard.To be fair she’s not that long earning real money - no doubt the penny will drop soon enough

Not all Heroin users are people that live under the bridge. I hope you can find her some help.Yeah, I know what you mean.
A mate that got a large payout due to an injury when he was 18. The payout was in the range of $1m to $2m (the figure always changes every time its talked about) but what his dad made him do was buy three houses, one to live in two as investments. It took him around 18 months to blow through the rest of his money (2 cars, a number of big kid toys that would get broken/given away, lots of parties).Some people are just all about them. What's going on their life is the most important thing at a a given point.
Also some people just don't 'get' money. Whether you earn $100 a week or $10,000, there are people in the same boat who spend more or less than you do. If you can live off a modest wage and then progressively earn more, you should be OK. If you are always behind earning $50k a year then there's a good chance you are going to be behind earning $100k a year.
I'm tipping overpriced coke and lots of it.Not all Heroin users are people that live under the bridge. I hope you can find her some help.
Well yeah, she is pretty selfish and thinks everything can be about her.Some people are just all about them. What's going on their life is the most important thing at a a given point.

It took him around 18 months to blow through the rest of his money (2 cars, a number of big kid toys that would get broken/given away, lots of parties).
At 20 he had to sell his first house as he had run out of money. After selling the house he moved into one of his investment properties with $300k in his back pocket. This money lasted maybe 18 months so at 22ish he had blown through another 300k without learning a single lesson the first time.
Then he sold both his current house and investment property and bought another, nicer house but only left himself with $100k of spare money but this time decided he'd be best working as well, since he had no rental income anymore. He was probably 23 or 24 by this stage with zero work exp so had no work ethic and never lasted more than a couple of months per job. The 100k got spent, the house got sold and the remaining amount was slowly spent while he lived in a rental until he had about $120k left and his dad intervened and put it in a term deposit.
So for the last 10 or so years he has gone from living in his own place, to a rental, to his mums house and finally to his girlfriends mums house at almost 40 years old. He then got access to the term deposit and guess what he did with it? Just spent it on useless s**t.
tl/dr I agree with your post.
is she hawt?then bought a whole new heap of active wear.
How's that going for her?One of my aunts for a big compo payout and bought a Video Ezy lol

I'm not really into extravagance but I dunno how I'd have gone coming into a lot of money at a young age. If I won $1m tomorrow I wouldn't go out and buy a Rolls Royce Phantom but if I won one of those Lotto mega jackpots of $70m or something then spending $1m on a car wouldn't seem unreasonable.
