Treat yourself

[belamyi]

What would you choose

 

[belamyi]

And by "SUPER" I do not mean a pumped muscleho

 

[LeicsDom]

None of the above

 

[belamyi]

I was asking to treat yourself, but to do it with those options.

Response accepted anyway, as always

 

[fredroy]

Hire a hunk? Nope.
Fancy hotel? Nope. Fancy food? Depends, I'm not wearing a tie.
Save money? If you mean like buying t-bills, you bet.

The bank pays .09% interest on Savings. Which is a lot more than .01. They pay about 4.5 on CDs last I looked but you have to go to the bank to buy a CD. I'm not interested in driving almost 50 miles one way and then dealing with Austin traffic. I can buy t-bills online at Treasury Direct and get around 5.5% interest. Just clicky click on my PC and done.

The options suck

 

[Rickrock]

As Alistair said, the choices aren't ideal. The most likely way I would treat myself would be to buy a car that was a little above my station, such as a luxurious, sporty looking car like a Jaguar or BMW. Second choices could be; rather than an upscale hotel, I would take a vacation to an exotic location, or a cruise on a private ship around the world. A third choice might be playing with the idea of playing with a slender, mature, young man after my staff had thoroughly vetted him (if I had a staff), but I would probably back away from this. Saving money is necessity and not a treat.

Alone in your room, obviously.

I meant just letting inflation eat up your money.

Texas must not be that bad when they have internet connection.

I mean [small daily] treat not half-lifetime treAAAAAAAAAAAAt

Fancy hotel? Nope. Fancy food? Depends, I'm not wearing a tie.

Besides, this is not 1959 anymore: nobody wears a tie anywhere, not even in America, unless your idea of "upscale" is stuck-up and pretentious, like in Karen Wasp nazi America.

Upscale hotel and great food and drink. Although for us, the food is more of a treat than a luxe hotel.

Okay, my birthday is coming up soon and I am considering going to a sit down restaurant for breakfast instead of getting breakfast on the fly from a fast food place. I am also considering ordering a small birthday cake from the store since no one else will. I guess the meal would be my option.

When I get a hotel room I usually consider the location rather than the room, but perhaps you get pampered in a luxury hotel. I haven't had that so that doesn't come to my mind.

Like I said to Al: it's just like life itself.

Well, I think the superduperhunk thing is out... he had some shoddy incident with his motorbike at the very last hour before the meeting, and was to be 20 minutes late coming from the repair shop, when we had agreed to meet sharp on time.

I was not very secretly expecting and hoping for that (that's why I started the thread) and was going for it mainly because of the body shape.

So far, money saved.

BTW, you are not talking of saving, but investing... which is the best option... provided there is a future in the investment and for the money of the investment in a world with a future.

To be honest...unless the guy could do a bit of tree limbing, carpentry, plumbing or electrical....nope.

But you just made me realize what my real treat would be....being able to actually find and then hire a crew of strapping eye-candy young men to come and help out on the farm.

He's a doctor.


I mean a certified medical doctor.
