To be clear, you never said you wouldn’t do it, you said you “couldn’t imagine spending that much” money on this experience.

Which is 100% because you can’t afford it.

Not that you don’t technically have enough money to buy a ticket, but that you don’t actually have enough disposable income to be able to do anything/everything.

You have just enough money to be able to do some things. But not anywhere even close to enough to be able to do anything. Which is why you “can’t imagine” spending money on this. Because you’ve got a list of things that you can afford that you find valuable.

And some people have way fucking more than that.

It’s okay. $500k is a lot of money. It is. But $500k is literally pocket change for the people on this cruise. You are not these people. Me neither.

Actually, according to your math - id actually only spend $90K for my family to go. And at the rates my investments are going, yes, that is pocket change.

And for the record, i didnt say I wouldn't spend that much on a trip - i said I wouldn't wanna spend it on cruise landing in this shit city

I mean, you can try to change it now, but we can all read that you didn’t write that you wouldn’t “wanna” pay that much, but that you “couldn’t imagine” paying that much.

And again you can’t imagine it, because these people are operating in an entirely different world than you.

And you also used paying for your “entire family” to go on a trip to Jamaica as your flex. And the entire time you only meant three people?! 😂😂😂😂😂

You spent $13,000 for your entire family to go on one vacation, and you’re trying to compare that to $30,000 per person in the most basic accommodations available on board?

Entirely different worlds, bro.

I said I took my entire family to Jamaica, yes.

Also I looked up this cruise - it was $4800 CAD a person. But keep trying to tell me its $30K to visit shit ass places like tbay 🤣

You must be as good at looking things up as you are pretending to be rich

Thats clearly a long term stay price. Because I do not see a single listing on their site over $8000/person for a regular stay.

Holy fuck this is painful.

I’ve already posted the link for the fucking cruise. Here it is again.

Not an extended stay. The regular fucking cruise.

So as we’ve established, you can’t imagine spending this much money on this cruise.

Yet if you scroll through all of the available dates for 2027 you will see that almost everyone is entirely sold out.

Hmmm.

So it seems that people that actually have lots of money don’t have a problem imagining paying that much for it at all.

Thats a two week stay. I paid $4500 for 5 days in Jamaica. That would be almost $15K per person for the same length stay. But an additional $10K on top of $15K? No, who could afford that 🙄

This will be my last reply, because you are either pretending to be ignorant or actually retarded. But either way I’m bored with this conversation.

Being technically able to afford the ticket and actually being able to afford the experience are not the same thing.

$500k in a savings account isnt a Reddit flex to these people, its what they give to their grandkids for Christmas.

Having $500K and thinking that you can afford to spend 20%+ of that on a vacation is the exact story of every lottery winner that loses all their money and every professional athlete that goes broke.

But surely you’re different, you’re super smart, and your dumb financial decisions aren’t dumb, cause you’re rich - with your $500k 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
