man, i simply don't get my buddy saidas in a lot of ways. he's got like three jobs coaching basket ball, and he's about to quit the easiest one. he basically has to go to the gym once a week and cancel practice, cause enough kids to play never show up. for doing this once a week they pay him more than minimum wage. here's our conversation:
saidas: fuck it, it's pointless
aras: how's it pointless to get 500 lits a month for doing practically nothing?
s: nobody comes.
a: i get it, that's the beauty: a pay check for no work.
s: so?
a: so you're getting free money!
s: so i get 2,500 lits a semester, big deal, so what?
a: what the fuck, dude, you couldn't use an extra 2,500 lits?!
s: for what?
a: for anything! saving, investing, anything!
s: fuck that, i don't save, and 2,500 isn't enough to invest
a: but in two year's it would make up 12,000, that's enough for an investment
s: i wouldn't save it though, i spend all my excess money, no matter how much it is
a: why?
s: (shrugs)
after this conversation we went to the casino. he bet without looking at some of his cards regularly. when i left he was already down almost 400 lits.
This is my counter:

i have problems saving too. unless my money were directly deposited into my savings account from my paychecks, i would spend it entirely. but i'm getting more used to saving. i guess it's just a result of not having had any money to save until recently.
what you never had a piggy bank?
yeah, i've been thinking about opening another bank acount and seeing if i can have a quarter of my pay check go there directly, thereby saving money effortlessly.
