$900 in puzzles!?!?

[Carrot]

GOGOGO SEND ME MONEY!!! =D

 

[TheMachanga]

Don't spend it on stuff like v-cube collection, teraminx 11x11 etc. Buy smaller things.

 

[number1failure]

I've been thinkin' more. $900-$200 from a fine=$700-$200 for a nice video camera=$500. I might save some, but chances are that I'll buy hundreds of dollars worth of puzzles, and use the camera to make YouTube videos about them all. (reviews, unboxings, all that good stuff.)

 

[ThatGuy]

wait you got a fine?

 

[number1failure]

Yup. Too many unexcused absent days at school. I have insomnia so I can't get to sleep until like 4-5AM, so by the time I wake up, it's already like 10 or 11AM. And it happened so often it was nearly impossible to keep track of every single absent excuse.

You must go to a private school, yes?

Your school fined you $200 for not showing up to class?

[endless_akatsuki]

Err... isn't insomnia a decent excuse?
Anyway, your school is harsh, why do they need to charge you? Unless you pay by the day, it doesn't make sense. It's not like you not being at school costs the school money. Lol, my school was trying for ages to fine me $30 for a library book, but I just kept not bringing the money, they just dropped it. My school isn't exactly strict, yours sounds horrible :s

Hmm, at my old school, they get paid for every kid who attends(About $83 per student?). Maybe it's just for schools in California, but I think this applies to every school. So, he is kind of costing them money. Still, charging him is a an odd and harsh punishment...

Err... I've been to 3 schools, and all of them you pay for the whole year at once, you don't pay for the amount of days you show up.
But if it's charged by the day, then charging isn't really harsh.

Ya, Here in the state of California, a disrict gets paid every time a student comes to school. This goes for every single student. Which is why they frown on ditching and why senior ditch day is highly opposed. We make them money just for going to school. Apparently, the school looses money every time a kid is absent. Excused or not. Keep in mind though, that this is just California. I have no idea if other states do this too. BTW, they don't charge us. The money is funded by the state I believe.

Holy Jesus.

I'm going to leave this convo now as I have nothing to contribute, I can't compete with all these people thinking that being a fiscally responsible person is somehow better than actually being a kid while it lasts.

The problem is that people develop a bad habit that doesn't go away. They'll spend recklessly in college because they're not an adult yet. They'll spend recklessly out of college because they just got a job and don't have a family yet.

We're not saying he shouldn't spend anything, just not all of it.

:fpDude, you have a whole lifetime. You'll quit cubing eventually and waste a lot of money. Save it for more important stuff.

oreally?

 

[number1failure]

I'll buy cubes, and I'll buy a tattoo of a Rubik's Cube. That way if I'm still into cubing the tattoo will represent my current hobby. And if I quit cubing, it will be a reminder of the many great years and amazing memories I had with cubing.

EDIT: And I'll buy a camera to make YouTube videos as reviews for my multi-hundred-dollar puzzle collection expansion.
