Ok, well we pretty much told you what we thought. The messages were quite similar.

Don't feed the troll folks.
I’m not sure the OP is a troll. Most people who come on these forums are interested in financial independence on some level, including myself. However, we know there are plenty of people out there with a completely contrarian viewpoint. They are going to espouse the live fast and die penniless philosophy. That is their take on personal finance.

It would not be unusual for some of them to make their way on here.

And you expect us to believe you're not a troll???

Exactly. For every "live fast, die young" attitude, there's a heap of people that forgot to die and wish they had made better decisions.

You need a new group of friends. Your current group likes money but since they will drop you if you are not spending they do not like you as you.

This in-crowd sounds like a bunch of phonies and you need to drop them and find some actual real friends, before you become on a first name basis with a bankruptcy attorney.

OP I think you're doing great and right on track for a fun and eventful life. Just keep spending that hard earned money and keeping those CC's maxed out at 28% interest.

You can always file bankruptcy 3-4 times in your life. Screw the world, they owe you a fun time and to support you in your old age.

You're a cool guy, deserve to drive nice cars and hang out with cool people and have hot babes who like your spending.

Go for it !!

The OP has explained he is not here for advice or discussion. He has posted in an inflammatory manner just to elicit responses. That is the definition of an internet troll. It is past time to stop feeding the troll.
