It’s not even that long & it would’ve been fun to have a roadtrip. Flew the jet for ~1h instead. Useless pollution.

    My friend gets “only $100K USD” per month as allowance (he’s an international student from China) and still goes over budget.

      Though there has to be more to this story. Chartering an entire private jet costs like a few thousand to 15,000 dollars for an hour. You can do this twice a week on that budget. Or buy lots of fancy food, electronic gadgets and gucci bags, maybe even cars. But don’t you quickly run out of space to put them? So how would someone spend 100k?

        Designer clothes / jewelry / watches sprees. Those things can be crazy expensive. A haute couture outfit can easily run for $100K or more. Not even talking about jewelry and watches.

          Ah, yeah I forgot about watches and jewelry. Guess you can buy a lot of them and they won’t take up that much space. I’d stick with one or two of them, though. Make it a very nice one you really like and wear it all the time. IMO it doesn’t really help if you get 20 half-nice watches and keep 19 of them in one of your multiple wardrobes, that’s just hoarding stuff… Same applies to shoes, albeit you might be allowed to get a few more pairs of them. But what do I know…

      …per…month? holy moly. Im currently earning about 15k a YEAR lmao. Granted, im going through a work-rehab program because of a spinal injury. But even when I finish this and start working full time again, itll be maybe 20k/year. Completely different ball league.
