The biggest Baller move I’ve ever seen was a woman came into the bar that I was working at wearing sweatpants and a plain T-shirt and some girl was making fun of her because of the way that she was dressed and she just slowly looks over at the girl and said “do you see that Hotel over there?” The girl said “yeah I’m staying there” and the woman responded “I just bought it”
I had a coworker once who started working at our grocery store because she was bored and didn't want to be at home. She was 80, retired and I could not figure out why working such a crappy job was fun to her. Around Valentine's we were talking about plans and I asked her what she usually does. She goes: "Dinner and Wayne (her husband) usually gets me diamonds." She said it so nonchalant and just continued that I had to stop her and clarify what she said. Apparently he got her a new diamond themed piece of jewelry every year since they married and she had like a closet full of things just hung up everywhere. And that was only in her second house. I couldn't quite believe how loaded she was since she didn't dress or drive anything all that expensive. Nice Lady tho, she used to gift me her medical grade marijuana gummies.
Some of these people must have gotten into the habit of saving pennies when they didn't have as much and when by the time it made them successful they just never got out of it.
There was a shoe store in the mall near my house that industrial epoxied a quarter to a counter outside their store front with a written note "bring us this quarter and get a free pair of shoes, your choice" and for weeks I saw people try and try and never being able to get it. But as a person who EDC's tools and what not. I pull out my multi-tool, crank out the quarter and the piece of particle board beneath it and that is how I got 90 dollar pair of shoes for free.
I don't know about advert but There was a comedy sketch were a man is walking down the street and spots a £10 note under a car tire so after trying he goes to a near by tea shop. He waits and the tea shop is full but he waits. Then the owner of the car driver gets in his car and suddenly everyone in the tea shop get up and rush to leave the door.
I went to high school with a kid who’s family was so rich he had a revolving $50,000 a month allowance in high school. He didn’t use much of it most of the time and it only gets refilled to exactly 50,000 every month but one time he took me with as he walked into a dealership and purchased a motorcycle with his debit card. He purchased a brand new bike for track purposes only while 16 years old, then took that bike waited a month without ever touching it and slapped on $35,000 worth of parts and upgrades. His ‘current’ bike at the time which this one replaced was 2 years old. He let me wreck that 2 year old ‘spare bike’ and no fucks were given. Craziest fucking family I ever met in my life. Super nice people though.
Karl, there's a 50p stuck to a drain cover directly in the middle of the pavement on my commute to work, and it still winds me up years later. I.. just.. want to pick it up dammit
On my way home from school there’s a penny built directly into the tarmac in the middle of the road. I wonder how many people have almost died trying to pick it up before realising the whole thing is perfectly flat against the road
@ZMan1471 Haha, I actually tried to pick the aforementioned penny up one time, despite it being in the middle of the road. Suffice it to say I'm really not the brightest at times

I'm one of those people who doesn't spend any of their money and the reason for that is because I feel guilty if I were to spend any money on things I don't need. If I were to spend $5 on coffee it would be in my consciousness for a whole week haunting me.
May i ask how you were brought up? I have a similar thing where spending money feels frivolous. My parents always needed a little extra money to pay for my brother’s football equipment, a new car because their current one kept breaking down, pay down some debt, etc. Now if I spend money on a nice dinner (to feel good) rather than to pay some bill (relieve financial pressure) I won’t feel good about it.
@@BlakRainbow39 Growing up my family moved A LOT and although we weren't poor we were below middle class. During my early years I grew up in villages, small towns and even cities. From time to time I was around poverty a lot even though I never lived in it myself and my mom has a terrible spending habit. I guess I learned from her as to what not to do lol.
1st off I love what you do fam, I spend WAYYY too much time watching your videos. To the same vane of baller flexes: I used to work at a swanky resort and we had regulars who come 2-3 times a year. This 1 we called 'the Canadian' (actually from Minnesota) was eccentric AF. 1 time he had over stayed for 7 days and hadn't come to the front desk upon several request, so the property manager told our security not to let him through our large metal entrance gates until he had gone to pay his bill at the front desk. When told this he instead just drove straight through the gate, and than payed to replace the gate but did so with out ever going to the front desk, instead made the manager come to him in his room. This story still is told during orientation as an extreme version of "the customer is always right"
I once worked at a Halloween store in downtown Manhattan, Goldberg the wrestler basically forced everyone to work overtime so he could shop while no other customers were in the store. And while he was only there for about 15 minutes he ended up buying one of the most expensive decorations in the store
My great grandpa was this way, he was a teen in the great depression so he as a multimillionaire didn't ever spend money, he never even threw away a twist tie
@@name-bt7ow I'm guessing this was back when a dollar was a lot of money and gas prices were low enough that the drive was worth it? Time is money too, but if he didn't have anything else to do and his work paid less than $15/h then it was a good deal.

Jemmy Wood died in 1836. If he made this bet on the year he died (which would result in the lowest possible modern cash equivalent), he wagered the equivalent of 11.5 million pounds sterling (about 14.6 million USD) to get about 575 pounds (747.50 USD).
Working in a mechanics shop and this guy brings in his coach motorhome Really nice rig wants it repainted new tires brakes hydraulic lifts pretty much a complete overhaul. Leaves it with us for over a year. Shows up one day and says he needs to grab something out of his rig and needs some help carrying it. Proceeds to open the safe in the bedroom and reveal around 300,000 dollars worth of pure silver bars... Like wtf man lol I leave money laying around sometimes but that's just insane
$300,000 of silver would weigh over 1200 lbs (it's worth just under $250 per lb)... A bar of silver weighs 6.86 lbs... so that would be 175 bars of silver... are you telling me that this guy had been driving around with 1200 lbs of silver, plus a safe big enough and heavy enough to store 175 bars of silver?
