i wish! i have to go to the library to use their computers

Lol

Well, we know that it doesn't include people in rural Wyoming (unsure about what goes down in Cheyenne).

Took 146 posts for someone to realize what this brouhaha is really about.

I agree, its LOL when people think my Bose is awesome as often their cheaper systems sound better than mine. Nevertheless they are coming from a certain viewpoint and I think thats one of the points of this thread. We are all at different levels in life, experience, financial standing etc and our views and perceptions are shaped by our experiences and by the effect outside influences like marketing etc have on us.

I don't know if henry is real or not. That is not the point of this thread but rather his outlook on life seems to be what tilts people. Some people just find it hard to see things from someone else's standpoint but as they grow up and have wider life experiences they will find it easier to do so.

And what, in your opinion, is the average yearly earn for people in this bracket?

i think we're about to define average joe as mid six figures.

I'd say $60k+ would be the minimum but most would be $70-80k+

I'm not sure what you are getting at. While the context of this conversation was a comment by someone who is a professional the behaviour of routinely spending more than $100 on a night out is certainly not limited to those people. I have a lot of friends who make considerably less and they still would see spending $100/night as pretty standard. They don't spend less -- they just have to go out less frequently.

+100

just curious, how much do you make..?

in before bout tree fiddy

Didn't you claim a while ago that you couldn't be friend with people who made less money than you?

Guys,

Just to put the initial thing in context, I rarely spend $100 at bars on nights where I'm drinking beer, and routinely spend over $100 at bars when drinking cocktails or wine. Beer here costs ~$5-7/pint, liquor/wine/cocktails cost ~$8-12/drink. Bar snacks at dive bar drinking beer will cost $3-5 each. Bar snacks at cocktail lounge/restaurant will be $10-15 each. The second category of drinking is also more likely to involve a girl I'm paying for.

why not, he makes less than that

Yes but I'm using friends in a much looser way here to mean people I go out drinking with.

I'm actually glad you brought this up because this and the humble brags topic it was pulled from actually prove what I was saying. You can't truly be friends with people who are less wealthy because you have to constantly censor yourself. The way you talk around them and what you say or share has to be controlled and that prevents you from actually having a true friendship.

Y'all are going to the wrong dive bars if you're paying $3-5 a beer.

My Guide to Texas Dive Bars is available at all the finest bookstores.

I'm not sure I've ever spent $100 just on myself at a bar. I mean, yeah, for like a night out that starts with dinner, cab rides, etc. easily, but $100 just on drinks/cover?

neither is 5/10 lhe

Sick burn bro

here we go again

Dumbest post in the thread.

Being in the Midwest and living within walking distance of most of my favorite bars, there are no extra expenses and drinks are usually $4 or less. I'd have to rattle off at least 25 drinks to get to the $100+ mark, which I'm generally not going to get to even if I buy 6-8 drinks for others...especially since if it's a night where rounds of shots are happening, I'll buy one but then will probably get handed a couple of free shots myself.

Obviously I realize that the picture is different in the higher cost of living areas.

once again henry speaks the truth and all the insecure people come out of the framework to try and bash him to satisfy their own egos.

zzz close thread

Hey guys remember when Henry quit 2+2, but then he had to come back and stick up for those that were defending him, and then he kind of just stuck around after that?

That's what I was thinking. I don't go to clubs, so I don't frequent $10/drink places, but I've had a handful of $100+ tab nights, and that's at places that aren't dive/college bars, but too casual to be exclusive/upscale. That's a biiig night, to be spending $100 on drinks.
