Re: Personal Business Manager or Private Jet?
 

I work for a company that builds business jets. I'd take the jet, no question about it.

Anybody that can afford a private jet can afford a personal business manager too. I can't imagine having the former without the latter, but I can imagine having the latter without the former.

The jet is WAY more expensive than the business manager. The business manager is 5% of income with a cap somewhere over what my friend makes.

Single guys should be going with the jet, I suppose, because as El D points out it will get you laid. But once you marry the woman the jet helps you meet and you have kids and responsibilities etc etc etc you're going to want the business manager, let me tell you.

What the [censored] am I going to do with a jet? If it has internet access I guess I can hide in it and play poker and hope my wife and child don't find me to go to another goddamn birthday party, but other than that it'd be useless.

Imagine the chicks you could pull. I mean flying to Paris for a weekend would be OK, but imagine if she spends like two months with you and figures out that you never pay bills!!!! "ZOMG how are your lights still on. [censored] me now" WTF

I think flying in mistresses would be a whole lot easier with a private jet, especially one with a bedroom.

I've got 3 kids and the jet would be awesome. I could go to vegas for the evening, the trip would be shorter than many work commutes.

UCLA playing Stanford in basketball? Fly directly to Palo Alto.

Vacation? Have you tried dragging three kids through LAX? Then tried to seat them in coach for 3 hours? Private Jet FTW.

Got a weekend without a t-ball or soccer game? Fly the family to Mammoth to ski. You certainly don't want to drive for 6 hours with them.

Business Manager? If I had enough money to buy a jet, everything is on auto-bill pay and I don't worry if the cell phone company is overcharging me.

If I can afford the operating costs, then the jet easily wins this. I'll just let the trophy wife handle the bill paying.

girls don't know how to work numbers, silly! we just put it on our gold cards.

That's how my current trophy wife has been handling things for the last 15 years. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Personal Business Manager or Private Jet?
 

what bills?

ship the jet

Re: Personal Business Manager or Private Jet?
 

A private jet is more like a lease even if you own it, because maintaining it and using it is a big ongoing expense. I'd rather have something like a second house or condo, even a quite modest one.

Re: Personal Business Manager or Private Jet?
 

If I could have a combination business manager/secretary, I'd do that. I'd love to be able to make requests like "book me two tickets to X," "find me a good gym in my area," or get all my grocery shopping and errands done. This would make a significant difference in my day-to-day life and it's hard to imagine a jet doing that.
