Not just that they can choose to do it at any moment, but that there's no sure way to prevent oneself from choosing that in the future. That your future self is beyond your ability to control or predict. That decades of choosing life matters not if, for just a single moment, you choose death. Every time you drive, you possess a knife, you stand beside jumpable railings, your live is left precarious. You must trust your future self, despite knowing every hypocrisy, every stray thought, every weakness, every inconsistency within yourself. You must trust, but you can't, if you're honest with yourself you cant, you know you're not trustworthy, you know you make mistakes, you know you lose control sometimes. And so you stand on the edge, you query your mind "can i jump?" and it responds "yes" and you wish it said "no", maybe even delude yourself into believing that was the answer. But death's embrace ever looms, unwavering, never departing, its beckoning mercifully silenced by ignoring it in freedom you must chain yourself. It is only in chains that you can be free

It's not just that people are 'fools' about credit. A lot of people don't get good opportunities (you can fill in info on that debate Elsewhere). A lot of people can't get that promotion so easily and they know/ think thats the best they're going to get. A lot of people, myself included, use their money to help elevate others. I didn't have a lot growing up due to circumstances, now that i have a good job i use that money to treat my parents, to help pay school fees so my brothers can have a better experience than i ever did, to help my extended family when they're in the red. having more money is a step to getting ahead in life. while this video/quote is talking about people living beyond their means, i feel like it can also be used to discuss how people view and talk about money, how they base their whole image/worth on how much $ they make and how that in turn shows how they treat others. It also shows how ignorant people are on money and how others are willing to keep others in the dark to get one over them and make money off of them. It's good that after 2008 it became more accepted to discuss money, one of my big pet peeves is how people call others fools when they don't have a full story of the situation. Not everybody lives like this yeah, but not everybody has the same starting point when it comes to money. Look at all the kids getting into debt to afford school vs those kids whose parents are paying for their tuition vs those parents bribing the school so their kids get into the school. Don't mock people that can't afford stuff, the person you're laughing with might be in the same boat. Everybody deserves to live a happy life; don't forget to buy flowers. remember, it helps brighten your world during dark times.

Agree. 30+% of net set aside in cash is probably not something that many people in his position would do. Assuming that the $150K car is only once every 7-10 years, that's another big chunk of cash that he can set aside next year. Add to that the equity he is building in his NYC apt at 300K per year and he is doing pretty well. 25K per month is a $5mil mortgage after all which for someone in his position isn't outrageous (only 2x gross income) and I halfway suspect someone like Will might buy a 1-2 million dollar place in NYC, finance it for 30 years and then just throw $300K on it every year to pay it off early.

Then you both work 60 hours a week, so you need a nanny, who will cost 40k+/year. Then private school is 35k+ per kid. And then maybe your buddy just had his hedge fund fail, and he needs you to front him some money to keep HIS kids in private school too. Plus your mother or brother needs some help. Plus your circle of friends have social engagements that involve eating a lots of high-end restaurants all the time, and maybe they want you to come with them on their trip to some exotic location.

If he's saving 400K a year (and presumably getting interest off it) he's not spending everything or going broke: brewster's millions will not be his.

He'd probably get his expensive accountant to make it look like he was entertaining clients, obviously he's exaggerating when he says "most", but that makes the joke funnier. Usually it goes for meals and low volume entertainment (where you can have a business discussion) Booze and the like are pretty difficult to pull of but with the right amount of grease you'd be amazed what rich corporate fucks manage to deduct.

He puts it on their tax return and at his tax bracket saves about 35k per year. His chance of being audited is less than 5%. Then if he is audited he just takes the hit for that year and yes get a 50% penalty for gross understatement of his taxes but these kinds of guys live with the stress of far greater risk every day.

Mr. Irons comes off as someone you could be brutally honest with while at the same time, you are scared sh!tress to be brutally honest with even when he tells you to do so.

It goes quickly then proceeds to say he saved a third of it

So that would be 12% of his income (after taxes) going to his parents. That's nice. Hard to believe the 150k per year on cars though ...

I paid $12,500 for 5 acres, 1/4 mile deep and 270 foot wide about 70 miles from our house in the city.

It's not really spending, when you put 400k away as savings, though. You could also argue that paying a mortgage isn't spending either as you buy an asset for it. So, basically, he only spend 550k out of the 1,250k. Still a lot of money but far away from "spending it all".

This is so true "You learn to spend what's in your pocket". I used to survive just fine on a small budget in college for the essentials. Now with a wife + kid and a $160k Household income.... I'm somehow scratching my head on how we spend most of the money

The entire cast of this movie even the supporting actors is just A-grade celebrity actors. Proof you don’t need any special effects, wardrobe or places to create a historic piece of art… insane

2½ mil, taxmen takes ½, thats pretty quick to lose ½....

I spent many thousands of dollars on booze, loose women, and gambling... the rest, I just wasted.

its not that you want to jump makes you like shitting in your pants. when you are a successful banker, a simple failure makes you put an end of your life. with my own eyes i saw a man who failed for the first time take his own life (happens to be a banker). the thought that you are NOT invincible (when you are highly successful at your job) makes you go nuts.

'highly successful', look up survivorship bias

It is crazy to spend on that level, BUT at least he now OWNS all that stuff, at least from what he itemized. If you're debt free with a free and clear home, car, and nearly half a million in savings, and you've satisfied your tax obligations, that can all be kept and maintained at a much lower level of income if necessary. It may not be the standard of living ones grown accustomed to, but he's far from losing everything, at least that's how I'd look at it. Of course, the character spent $40k more than I make a year on just clothes so what do I know?
