My BIL took me to the boat show this year. Several wakeboard boats ~ 200K

claw

6/13/18 9:43am

It's amazing how many people can afford 100k boats in Utah. Especially when

boorad

6/13/18 9:55am

I feel like boats are kind of a status symbol in LDS communities. At least

Lake Powell. Lots of reservoirs nearby.

RSL

Lake Powell is great but the other Utah lakes are pretty average

jewelry. flowers. and other stupid stuff women like that is useless.

smokymountainrain

6/13/18 9:27am

flowers, yes. jewelry has value.

johnnycarson

6/13/18 9:28am

of course it has value, people spend thousands, but it is useless.

smokymountainrain

6/13/18 9:30am

That can be said for just about everything. Why do you pay for clothes beyond

AndyDwyer

6/13/18 9:37am

not sure where the disconnect here is. clothes aren't useless. like, i would

smokymountainrain

6/13/18 9:39am

But sometimes expensive clothes serve the same functional purpose as cheap

AndyDwyer

6/13/18 9:47am

i agree, and i get why somebody would say clothes in answer to this question.

smokymountainrain

6/13/18 12:04pm

I don't. $3 Old Navy t-shirts and on-sale jeans ftw.

Big camping trailers, the truck to pull them, and everything else necessary.

soupie

6/13/18 9:28am

this is a good one. Everytime I see one of these I think about the break even

Mayor of Cougartown

6/13/18 9:34am

Or pay insurance and registration.

Ycrazy

6/13/18 9:53am

People who have camping trailers don't want to stay in a hotel.

fulano

6/13/18 10:26am

because they hate AC, indoor plumbing and fresh hot and cold water?

Mayor of Cougartown

6/13/18 12:49pm

Don't forget you need a big brand new truck to haul your big brand new

Food - to me a $50 dinner is not 5 times better than a $10 dinner

rov

6/13/18 9:28am

Probably closer to 10 times better.

Baron

6/13/18 9:33am

Kind of agree with the practicality. But I've had so many otherworldly meals that mentally seemed like they were 100x

mulletino

6/13/18 9:37am

where are you eating? kindly give me info on the best place you have ever eaten

Trucks for guys who work desk jobs. I know this is unpopular so I'll tread light

Mayor of Cougartown

I have a desk job but use my truck several times a week. I'm constantly buying lumber for projects and things around

He’s just jealous cuz he can’t afford one as a commuter car

I could afford one just fine it would just come at the expense of things I value

You don't get that at all?

boorad

Yes, fake breasts IMO don't look very good, they just look fake...

So it goes...
