Default freind brags about $$ from pizza delivery

I was chilling with my freinds yesterday throwin back some beers at the beach. A couple of us devliverd pizzas back in highshcool, me included. The place needed someone for just one night, my freind filled in for them. He excitedly brags about how he worked for 3 hours and made 58$!




I MADE 375.46$/HR TODAY, SHIP IT BITCH.

Ok so does anyone else struggle to hold thier tongue when people around them brag about how much they are making, or when people talk down to you and are all like "you need to get a steady job"? I used to slip up some and let the cat out the bag. I ve told a select few people about how much I had made like 3 months ago, but I dont say much now. I just grin on the inside and keep quiet now. How about you guys?

I dont say [censored] cuase I dont feel like explaining it. When people ask I just say if I told you my hourly rate you'd kill me. And I also see no reason to brag, im happy for my friends if they are happy with their earn, I feel no need to top them. I dont see a reason to point out that 1 hr of my work is the same as 80 of theirs.

Its been really weird lately for me at my house. All of my roomates have a sudden interest in how much I'm winning/losing every day and its starting to make me feel uncomfortable. Then again, when I'm around poker players I have no problem telling them in detail pretty much anything they'd want to know. I guess they just know how hard it is and they have gone through the same swings I have so its easier to let them know because it doesn't really matter to us.

I like to walk around and look at people working and think of how much more I make by multitabling while posting in bbv [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

When I buy things, I measure them in how much time it takes to make the money for it, not in how much it actually is.

So if someone tries to talk to me like I shouldn't be spending $5 on a coffee, well, sure I understand how they don't want to spend 30 minutes on a coffee, but I don't mind spending a minute or two on it.

Yeah, most of my friends seem to think it's all luck and just flat out dont understand. Since I'm going back to school in the fall, I quit my day job April 1 and all but one of them think I sit down and piss money away every day for a few hours. As such, when they ask(because they do, repeatedly), I just smile and say I'm doing alright. They only hear dollar amounts after big losing days.

They'll probably realize something's up when I start rolling around in a new car sometime after the holidays.

It's hard to do actually because I have to use my "conversative hourly estimate", my "most likely hourly estimate", and my "current luckbox digits"

And don't you mean your weekly rate went down? I'm currently at 5 hours/week....

And you're bragging about your hourly rate while running good that is lower than mine overall. It's all relative, and making 58$ in 3 hours isn't that bad. Don't be a dick.
