Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the strangest stuff people ever did for money. Money drives people to do some truly bizarre stuff.
Sounds like there could be quite a bit of selfish entitlement at play in this relationship, as it has been described. The guy offered to fund his girlfriend's living requirements, so that she could work on paying off her debt as soon as possible. However, she decided to take this and basically use those privileges to continue living in whatever way suited her fancy.
And most importantly, not in the way that she agreed upon with her partner. Money is a tricky thing, and it looks like there's one person who is potentially leeching off the other person, through being strategically deceptive. Maybe this relationship isn't meant to be. Who knows?
Twitter user @RobinWigg shared a viral thread about one very bizarre Norwegian TV program. We're talking about a situation where pro stock-pickers were pitted against an astrologist, beauty bloggers, and literal defecating cows. If that isn't the peak of entertainment I don't know what is? Naturally, the professionals were unsettled by their competition. Can't imagine how unsettled they were when they learned that Gullros was a total stock-picking wizard.
Nothing melts our icy hearts like a fact checker getting fact checked themselves. When it comes to online squabbles, people have a tendency to approach the situations like bulls in a china shop, and often throw out all kinds of BS, cause they feel that overwhelming desire to be the most right person in the room. And sometimes that BS is misleading information they haven't even bothered to verify before trying to pass it off as the ultimate truth.
A self-proclaimed concierge for the rich and "super rich" took to Reddit to share some of his juiciest stories from his time spent working the job. Whether it's witnessing the super rich get away with all kinds of ridiculous depravity, or enjoying the benefits of insanely large tips....you definitely end up seeing some things.
Twitter's in a bit of an uproar over a resurfaced survey from Bank of America that says 1 in 6 millennials have $100K in savings. Many folks reacted with doubt, surprise, and general dismissal. Instead, they suggest that these fortunate millennials must come from old money, and that it's more likely most millennials have under $1K in their savings.
Twitter users are sharing all the wild things they'd do if they suddenly discovered a million dollars. Some people would run off with it before anyone could find them, while others would work to exercise a lot more caution. Might not want to mess with someone who misplaced a million dollars.
This guy's trying to challenge the stereotype about all these brilliant tech masterminds starting their global operations from within the confines of a stuffy garage. Instead, he asserts that some of these billionaires enjoyed the benefits of other factors like generational wealth, family investments, nepotism, etc.
A tweet from the folks at @MarketWatch is drumming up quite a bit of backlash, after suggesting that a family of four with $350K a year is struggling. Twitter users are pointing out all the "ridiculous" expenditures that are still being included, for a family that is apparently struggling.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share stories of the most they've ever gotten out of a dollar. We've got people getting lucky off dollar scratchers, and others finding rare vintage clothing in secondhand stores that you'd never think could end up getting you $700.
Someone on AskReddit asked people about the times they caught themselves in the middle of a day's work, and genuinely couldn't believe that they got paid to do what they did, for "work." Some jobs are more surreal and enjoyable than others. Some jobs literally make you forget that you're working. These examples might make you all kinds of envious.
