+ Had a coworker brag to me that between he and his wife, he is paying $175 a month for cell service. I'm like, wow, that's a lot. I've had an unlimited plan from a flat-rate provider since 2008, it used to be $40/month - it's $45 now.
+ Had another coworker brag their cable/internet bill was $250 a month. I don't even have cable (haven't since 2003). I pay for Netflux and Hulu+, that's my entrainment money and there is way more content than I could possibly ever watch. My internet is $40 bucks...
+ Another coworker brags that he just bought a USED refrigerator for $2,100.00. I about spit my coffee out.
+ Now, I know I make more $$$ than these people and I wouldn't spend this type of money on these things. These are also the people who are complaining about money... OFTEN.
+ I'm not rich, and I'm not perfect, and honestly I am not half as smart as sometimes I think - but I know a ripoff when I see one.
+ I don't offer advice as I don't feel like it's my place to teach an adult. I did mention one time about having a flat rate phone service (which uses the ATT network) and one co-worker asked if I had bad credit.. LOL. I thought about replying, no I use flat rate because I have GOOD credit. It's the other way around.
