Viz, I bought the Viking fridge when I was a home owner from 2002-2005. I suppose an expensive fridge made up for the fact that I didn't have a couch until I moved to L.A. The couches I liked were $3,000 until L.A. were I found my dream couch for $800. I had 2 vintage Eames chairs in front of my tv that I purchased from another stripper. She said the furniture reminded her of a bad relationship. One man's trash...you know. I was stripping at the time then dividing my time between porn and stripping from 2003-2006. Before that, how did I earn money and afford a house? Stripping!!! Well, with a four year break working at high end boutiques and barely making enough to save for a rainy day.

I don't spend a lot of money. I live in a cheap apartment, eat mostly at home, shop mostly second hand, eat healthy to prevent future med bills or bad skin, avoid being wasteful, have a cheap cell phone plan, and still have a lot of the designer shoes and dresses from the past. This way I can save money just as I was saving before when I made more from stripping and porn.



Thanks for the response. Again, no offense, but let's look at this from an outsider's perspective... you didn't even have a couch, but you bought a $5,000 fridge because it looked "stealth". Obviously, it's your money to spend how ever you see fit, but doesn't that sound a little insane?

Like, say getting a less expensive but equally functional fridge so that you could afford a place to sit?

I'm really not trying to stir the shit here because it's all personal preference and I respect your right to buy whatever the heck you want. However, you should try to understand that "certain things really make a difference" to other folks as well, for instance, buying a less expensive item so that you can still afford to pay your rent, or for furniture.

You worked hard for what you have, we all do...and I'm a homeowner with a couch that someone gave me, and a $600 fridge, because I value keeping and fixing up my house over "stealth" looking appliances. To each his/her own I guess.
