  1. Online clothing is a big challenge. But there are ways to mitigate it. I have bought clothing items from a few retailers online that have not worked out, but where the company has made it right without an outright return. In the first case, they sent me the wrong size, like literally the tag did not match my order, When I brought this to their attention (they had me send a photo of the tag to compare to the order), they shipped me the correct size, and told me to donate the other one to a local charity. In the second case, I had ordered custom clothing made to measure, when they didn't fit, they simply asked what adjustments needed to be made, and sent me new items with those adjustments. They did not ask for the old ones back. In neither case did I get money back, but in both cases they addressed the issue of fit for online shopping.

  2. I take all sorts of pictures from my vacations. I love the memories they bring me. But apart from the photo frame in my living room, they aren't displayed anywhere.

  3. I was on a private jet 2 days ago. I was working. It wasn't glamorous.

  4. I've traveled by military Hercules a couple of times, these days I spend a lot of time on small private aircraft, but it's not glamorous, it's just work.

  5. Around here, the poorest part of town has the highest concentration of luxury cars. I was at a stoplight in that area a week ago and a Bentley pulled up beside me and I just laughed.

  6. It all depends on the narrative they're pushing along with it.

  7. I think you were completely right that you can't count it as an investment if it is your primary residence. As you said, you have to live somewhere. But I think you also have to look at all those extra costs you associate with home ownership, and realize those costs are still there when you're renting. They're simply priced in. Landlords aren't charities, they have to make money. So if they are renting you a place at a certain rate, you have to know that everything they are spending works out to less than that. I think the real place people go wrong is in trying to compare a small rented apartment to a large purchased single-family house. They aren't equivalent. So sure it is probably cheaper to rent that apartment than it is to buy that house long-term. But if you are renting the same house or buying the same apartment I think the math over the long-term changes. Thing is, there are more apartments for rent, and more houses for sale than the other way around, so people easily get into that mess.

  8. Honestly, I would take fake poor as a compliment. It sounds like a much better way to live.

  9. There are only so many of those studios to go around... I mean that said, if you look inside real private jets, there's not really that much variety in their interiors, they all do look rather similar.

  10. The expensive part is the point. What they don't know about them is how cramped and uncomfortable they are, how loud, and that they are slower and shorter range than flying commercial. The advantage to a private aircraft is the flexibility to go where and when you want, but there are certainly trade-offs.

  11. I have a different take on hotels. Yes location matters a lot, but the hotel itself doesn't really. As long as the bed is clean and comfortable, I don't really care beyond that. If I'm on vacation, I plan to spend as little time as possible in my hotel room, and as much time as possible outseeing the place I'm visiting.

  12. I'm on private aircraft frequently for work. Yes, they are tiny and cramped. And you don't actually get there super fast, they are usually actually slower than commercial aircraft, and have shorter range. The advantage they have is flexibility, they go whenever you want to wherever you want. The ones I'm in usually have a fair amount of leg room, but they are often missing some amenities that people tend to take for granted, like toilets on your 4+ Hour flight

  13. Fake poor is a much better option than fake rich, comes with fewer expectations, and much more financial security.

  14. I take all sorts of photos on vacation. They show up on my digital photo frame at home, and I love the memories they bring me. The only people who see them are the people standing in my living room.

  15. I spend a lot of time on various private aircraft. 2 days ago I was on a falcon 20, mostly though it's just King Airs, there's never champagne, there's rarely any food (I was so appreciative 2 days ago because the pilots got us burgers, unfortunately by the time we got to them they were cold, and the microwave wasn't working), and a lot of the time there isn't even a bathroom for your 4-Hour flight. It's not glamorous, it's just work.
