Petre, rob doesn’t want to have to “put out” for an “old guy with money” relationship.
im hitting that gay age where i *AM* the old guy :-/ ugh, if i could only turn back time like Cher 10-15 years!
*rob*
I’m not much of a mover. I lived in 2 houses growing up, and 3 places since after college and moving to NYC. ( not counting college living).
And that last move was 25 years ago – 2 and a half blocks. The move when I was a kid was also 2 1/2 blocks.

But one thing that would change radically, and that’s travel. I would travel a ton more.
I WILL CO-SIGN ON THAT! im tired of taking trips on google maps! people give you shit about it. whatever.

Not me, Snaps! I’m looking forward to the day when we BOTH have plenty of money! We’re gonna have some FUN! : D

“it’s hard to tell bc so many people in this city pretend to be rich.”–
you mean the park slope types with dog walkers, take cabs, eat gourmet dinners, and can’t possibly do their own taxes ’cause their finances are so complicated?
:-/ i have NEVER eaten a fucking gourmet dinner on my own dime, EVER. my dinner tonight is sauce on sale that was 2 days for 4 dollars and ravioli on sale last week 2 for 3 dollars. that’s a lot of dinner for a lot less.
i have never paid for my taxes to be done, i rely on friendly people who can do what take me 5 hours for them to do in 2 minutes.
yeah i do take cabs sometimes, it’s called Discartographia. sorry, but it’s cheaper for me to take a cab then get lost 1500 miles away and have to figure out how to get home or call a rescue squad.
dog walker? eh, okay, im not gonna budge on that. i think it’s like 12 bux a day (only during the week, and like only 4 days in the summer). it’s no different than if you told someone how DARE YOU spend money or on daycare for your kid. wtf, pete? it’s totally necessary at my dog’s age and it turned was basically a kinda of rambunctious not so friendly dog into a super friendly social one. it’s worth the money.
ive said it before and ill say it again, stay the hell out of my coin purse. i wouldnt be so ragged about people buying 10 dollar a scoop ice creams if i wasnt so criticized for how i spend my own money.
and yes, living in park slope (tho i think i have a decent deal) is WORTH paying the premium. people spend their entire lives dreaming to get the fuck out of shitty areas, why would one willingly choose to actually live in one? there’s plenty of time for that when im 60 and eating cat food. for now, i prefer to actually have a decent life.
/rant over

I kinda wanna say that if I had a ton of money, you all would be covered in glitter a whole lot more. But I suspect that most, if not all of you, would accordingly pray that I remain poor, and that’s just rude!

Petre, rob doesn’t want to have to “put out” for an “old guy with money” relationship.
As I have progressed through my career and made more money, the biggest change in my lifestyle has been moving to more expensive cities.
I guess I buy a bit nicer groceries and take a few more trips, but my overall my tastes are the same.
Other than housing costs, I guess my sister who makes a faction of what I do has a more expensive lifestyle.
“maybe colagen lip implants too, i always wanted to know how i’d look with thick luscious lips.” —- maybe if got that injection and lips could find an old rich guy who would appreciate that sensation if you know what I mean. then really could be rich.
