Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Just gotta know when to go and come back. Bring two jerry cans, shop at Winco, Home Depot, Terra Organics, Harbor Freight, Trader Joes, go to Northwoods Casino for 100 bucks at par........ WIN!
Today's itenerary:
6:30 AM Wake up = Have a nice breakfast (Lucky Charms, their magically delicious).
7:00 AM Go to work = No traffic, 20 minute drive
7:30 AM - 12:00 PM work your ass off = make lots of money.
12:05 PM Pump gas for 97.9 (Lose out on ~20 bucks compared to those who waited for cheap american gas)
12:30 PM Enjoy watching one of the most nail biting games of the NFL season.
Sorry, but hunting for deals and saving money is great, but I'd rather work harder and just make more money, and put myself further in my career at the same time.
I know it doesn't work the same for everyone, but I know plenty of people who could do better, if they put more time towards making more rather than spending less, or worrying about how much they are spending.
And in the instances when I am not working, I value my time off greatly, so driving and waiting in line ups, and doing the whole song and dance isn't appealing to me.
The rare instance is when I might have a big purchase to make (like my tires next week) which I can save upwards of $600 going to the states to get.
Fair enough, just clearing it up for the vast majority of this sites users who havn't put in their years of effort yet, this is after all RS, and the demographic is pretty young.
LOL, come on anything posted here is fact just ask CIC. You cannot refute his "proof" it's written write there on the interwebs.

At first, I was trying to console myself by saying that even though the loonie is in the dumps, at least gas was cheap, and that overall, I am still better off with the cheap gas despite the weak loonie.
Guess I'll just go back to my corner and cry now...

This makes me feel better I decided to budget build a CRX on 13 inch wheels for track duty over buying that P car and pretending to be Marco911.
To think, I could have been RS's asianMarco911 and my best friend is brownHypa.

Whenever my wife celebrates the new lows in gas. I remind her that she saved maybe a few dollars in gas but is getting a pounding with her portfolio.

I actually enjoy my drives across the border to get gas. It's kinda fun, like a little cruise. Picking up parcels for dollars off compared to shipping to Canada is well worth it

agreed! A great quote is "Wealthy people spend money to save time, Poor people spend time to save money"
Poor people will spend a whole day clipping coupons and driving all over town to save $20 on groceries. Wealthy people will spend that extra $20 to get it over with so they have lots of extra time to make more money, or spend time doing things they love, or time with their family.
^On a similar note, people that drive over the Patullo in order to avoid the tolls incense me.
I know a guy who goes from Lougheed to Guildford back and forth 3 times a week, and he refuses to spend the $6 per trip, instead taking 45 minutes rather than 15. wtf?
sure, if you're in a rush to get somewhere and you're constantly getting paid.. lol.. just cuz u take an extra 30 min doesn't mean ur time is worth x amount.. some people don't pay simply because they don't have to. I've done both, depends how I feel and if I'm in a hurry somewhere

If we are talking getting to and from work, yeah it does mean your time is worth X amount.
why is that? your work hours are set.. the way you use your hours outside of that time period are up to you.. Unless you're a business owner and are trying to rack up as many hours as possible, then every minute would be worth an x amount of dollar value

there is a growing percentage of the work force that doesn't work the traditional 9-5 anymore. many employees are now on a contracted or salary based employment where they get paid for their production, not for being in the office for 7.5 hours a day. and that doesn't include business owners either.
so ya, if i can spend an hour a day less in traffic, and get one more job done with that hour, and make an extra $65 for that job, im going to pay to not waste that hour driving all over town.
