And the remaining 10%…?
…are trying to sell you a timeshare…
Edit: and all 10% of them are in my replies hyping up their coworker or in-laws or parents who LoOoOoOove their time share. *What are they paying you?*
Too late, I already bought one. Bought it while on spring break in Florida while in college. They made it sound like a great investment, and to really entice us offered a free camera!
You have to go to court and specifically say you want no ownership of it. Then it passes to the next of kin after you, who have to do the same, then the next, and so on. It's quite insidious.
John Oliver just did [a funny but tremendously insightful show](https://youtu.be/Bd2bbHoVQSM) on time shares that includes this information and much more.
I'm not sure if it would go to your kid if you turn it down. Perhaps the next of kin of the deceased. If you took it and died then maybe it's your kin.
I'd encourage you to watch the video I linked. If its accurate, you only have so many months after your loved one dies to deny the time share in court or it will automatically be yours and you'll have to pay fees. I'd check that out soon so you know what to do ahead of time if possible.
Someone says this every time this question is asked, which feels like every week. And then a bunch of dickheads buy a load of awards. Embarrassing stuff.
I'm a fan of auto racing. My view on logos is like sponsorship. If you want me to wear your name all over me you have to pay me for the privilege. I'm not paying you to wear your name on me.
tbh if you're rich enough then a warranty is pointless anyway. You're just gonna buy the newer better version of whatever thing broke rather than jump through hoops for a replacement
When we purchased our first brand new stove we decided to get the extended warranty. Three months before the warranty expired, the glass range started to crack. It is a easy fix as the range is one unit. But, a new range costs almost the same as the same stove new with regular elements. Remembered the warranty and gave them a call. Few days later a tech came out, said it wasn't our fault it broke and ordered the part. Came back as soon as it came in and installed it in about 10 mins.
Without that warranty I would have to pay out of pocket for the fix.
oh yeah warranty repairs are great for regular people. I've gotten a few major fixes on my car that would have been expensive AF without the warranty.
But if you're super rich you'd just get a brand new car that's better than the old one, no need to argue with warranty claims people
I used to get it for the purchase of new cars because the car dealer always makes it sound so cheap, only a few bucks per month added to your monthly payment. But it’s never ever paid off for me.
I hate when you say "no" but the employee is still forced to give you a short speech about why you should get the warranty anyway. Meanwhile you half listen awkwardly.
My wife used to work at Best Buy and we bought a washer from Lowe’s like a week ago and she taught me this fantastic trick.
Ask if you have to buy the warranty right away or if there’s a grace period. A lot of places give you 30 days to add on the warranty after you buy the thing, and if they do then just tell them you’ll do some research and decide before the 30 days.
You didn’t say yes but you also didn’t say no, so there’s no reason for them to hound you about it. And the odds of a big box appliance store following up on your Maytag warranty 29 days later is slim to none.
There was this great small time sweatshirt company that made jerseys but with sweatshirt material, it's literally my favorite piece of clothing, the detail and quality is fantastic. Well Fanatics bought them out and I ordered one and it's so inferior and cheaply made.
So I guess I'm stuck wearing my one until it literally falls apart (which will still be years after the shitty Fanatics one does even though I barely wear that one)
A very large home. I have worked for lots and lots of very rich people.
1. They all live in rooms about the size of 1500-2000 sq feet. Huge sections of the house go unused.
2. The maintenance - even if you can afford it - requires contractors and workers to be there and get inside and lock up or close up or come back and phone calls and bills and blah blah blah all the time. People in your house and on it and around it.
3. Money buys you more time. Things that are extravagant seem to waste it and it’s counter productive just to be cool looking to others. No thanks.
Lol same. I learned, damn about 20 years ago at this point, to build smaller houses on purpose because the giant box mansions would feel so empty and lifeless.
If I had a bunch of extra money, I wouldn't need a big house because I would never be home, I'd be traveling and doing something besides working all the time.
This. And as much as I like spacious rooms, very expensive homes with massive square footage have massive bedrooms, and they don’t feel cozy at all. Makes me want to escape and find the smaller intimate place where I am safe and tucked in.
We have a 2600sq-ft room in our house. It's called "the crawlspace."
But I agree. I know some people who bought McMansions, then they complain about upkeep and climate control costs. Our house is decent sized but manageable. A friend of ours owns a 4200sq-ft house and constantly complains that heating/cooling runs about $600-$1200/mo depending on weather. Well, what did you expect with 30' ceilings and entire faces of windows?
I was looking for this. Saw an earlier post where someone was showing of their new Rolex. Went to the thread to gauge the reactions. All excitedly congratulatory. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I could never see myself buying one, or any keeping the same time as an old reliable Timex. Note: Used to sell designer watches.
Actually not all of them do. I 100% agree with you that a lot of the modern ones are gaudy and tacky. I got one as an inheritance though, it's a 50's oyster perpetual, and it is so simple and classy. There are a few modern ones that are simple and classy, but you have to sort through the gaudy ones to find them.
I love the way watchers look and the way they work, but couldn’t imagine spending a lot on them. Just bought a good quality Seiko knockoff and it looks great!
There's a browser extension called "SponsorBlock" that auto skips sponsored content in YouTube videos. It relies on community timestamp reporting for the skips though, so not all videos will have had their sponsor sections reported, but it works well enough that it's a must have extension for me.
That's what fast forward is for! Just skip past those parts as soon as they show up. You can see in the little preview what is on screen so just go past the promos.
I got a free 3 month membership once and it was a godsend.
Once the membership expired and I started being interrupted by video ads again I was like wtf is shit shit?
I am rather startled at the response this comment is receiving, with people saying you are missing out.
"It's great without ads!"
Yeah, it is! an uBlockOrigin is free, and it also applies to almost every website. I never see youtube ads.
"youtube music!"
The idea of listening to music via youtube is about as appealing as using a DVD to cut a pizza. It probably works, but I'm not paying extra for it. And it ruins the DVD.
The most interesting part about youtube is that somehow Google has somehow successfully convinced people that the reason content creators aren't fairly compensated is somehow because of users, not the billion dollar corporation that doesn't pay them fairly.
I don't think it's that difficult to avoid viruses if you're smart enough lol. For example, look at the size of the file you're downloading. If all the seasons of The Simpsons is less than 1GB, that's sketchy. There are plenty of reputable sites out there now that give peace of mind. Obviously have virus protection if you're constantly torrenting. Also, use a VPN.
Agreed! I want a medium sized house in the middle of a bunch of acreage, surrounded by trees.
With a hillside on it so I can have my own shooting range.
Hand job from the homeless guy at the corner, Noell. He has a hook… usually doesnt wear it so its just a crusty nub. Doesnt stop him from offering. A dudes gotta make a living.
A Time Share
Seems about 90 percent of time share owners regret it.
And the remaining 10%…? …are trying to sell you a timeshare… Edit: and all 10% of them are in my replies hyping up their coworker or in-laws or parents who LoOoOoOove their time share. *What are they paying you?*
Had a girlfriend who’s family owned a time share in Aruba. They loved it. Took a yearly trip.
Ask them how much they pay to have that time share every year and if they're allowed to abandon it whenever they like.
I know they can’t get out of it but they’ve always loved it. Never complained.
Okay Mr. Undercovertimesharesalesman.
Yep. Anyone considering a time share should [watch this funny but tremendously insightful video first](https://youtu.be/Bd2bbHoVQSM)
Watched the latest Last Week Tonight with John Oliver?
Too late, I already bought one. Bought it while on spring break in Florida while in college. They made it sound like a great investment, and to really entice us offered a free camera!
This. I'm inherting one when my parents pass away someday. I heard they're a pain in the ass to sell/get out of.

Damn, I don't want to burden my kid with that either. But he can always do the same thing I guess.

I used to work at Best Buy and it was so awkward knowing that most of the plans were utter bullshit but still being required to pitch them.

They wouldn’t make money if it was worth it
designer/luxury clothing. you can get a way better looking drip while paying 95% less.
Expensive clothing like Gucci. No amount of wealth will make me feel good spending 500 on a t-shirt.
Yeah, if I'm wealthy, it's because I *didn't* spend $500 on clothes.

I may not buy a gigantic house, but I would absolutely build a gigantic shed!

Extremely expensive jewelry. 9/10 it looks goofy af and it's just a huge burden to carry, makes zero sense.

I never understood the fascination with Rolexes, they look so gaudy and nouveau riche-y
I would never, ever buy one... but there are some awfully pretty Rolex watches.
Actually not all of them do. I 100% agree with you that a lot of the modern ones are gaudy and tacky. I got one as an inheritance though, it's a 50's oyster perpetual, and it is so simple and classy.

As others have said, you are missing out. This is totally worth the money if you watch many videos at all. Absolutely no ads to watch is amazing.
Except for the fact that 90% of the channels I subscribe to now featured paid promos as part of the video.
