I think that’s just the boomer+ generations.
Mother in law is at the very end of the boomers and she spends money like she’s still in the Great Depression. She’s much more financially stable than I’ll probably ever be. Finished their mortgage like 20 years ago and all their vehicles were bought without having to finance.
in my case it might be that some of the seniors were part of the nomenclature, and had a lavish life, thus their spending habits never changed.
my mother in law used to waste her money on pantsuits and shit
now afaik my sister in law pays off her Dacia.
yes, a fucking Dacia.
which she drives like a lunatic.
it's a very interesting dynamic there, and my wife constantly want's to punch her in the face, and allegedly she did one or two times.
my paternal grandparents on the other hand are very financially stable, and never spend their money on unnecessary shit.
Dacia? Must be one of those silly European only vehicles...
Ok found a UK website with price listings. Without knowing the context of auto prices in Europe, are they expensive type cars or what?
nah, Dacia is some cheap romanian crap
a new one is about 20k
marketed as a "affordable" vehicle
Ah ok. So the reference to the car... She spends lots of money on her appearance then drives a shitty car?
used to spend tons on appearance, back when she was in politics
although she still is in the party that has a majority in our parliament, she's not as important anymore.
an the car... well it's "new" (lots of us drive second hand stuff, mostly imported from Merkelistan), so all that matters.
and even 20k is a lot of cash for eastern european people
That’s a lot for us too. I paid like $25k for my Honda Civic. Financed it for 5 years.
I have a old MK1 SVT Ford Focus.
great ride, when it runs.
I never understand ppl who buy cars to show off. like the majority of gopniks who toil away at britbongistan just to buy a beamer.

Wait @Deleted User what's going on?
What's article 13?
its basically an attempt by the EU to limit the internet. I don't have all the details but it could mean the end of memes as we know them in the EU nations
Oh yeah the copyright thing.
Allows companies to wage “law-fare” on anything and everything.
yep
I’m pretty sure Pewdiepie has had to deal with it some. Don’t remember if it’s in effect yet, or if YouTube was just being proactive.
youtube is actually agasint it as it'd be a disaster for their site in Europe
Yeah it would 🤣
Can’t use any kind of “art” unless you have permission. Which includes music and probably paintings on your wall if you do the streaming thing.
ah man, the meltdown after the municipal elections here is pretty bad whilst regarding one city in particular, which can be condensed to "crab sticks man bad"
because the mayor of my home town is also a CEO of seafood processing firm, which is famous for surimi sticks.
The guy is basically Trump, but on a much smaller scale.
