Don't understand why BIGLAWmos don't just stack maximum cash and GTFO.

There is no limit to the amount of "stuff for the house" a woman can buy. One minor demonstrative example I've mentioned on xo before: I am the proud owner of a cherry wood salad bowl that my CGWBT purchased. You see, it's a big bowl we put salad in. Then we carry that bowl to the table and put the salad into smaller bowls.

What function does this bowl serve? Why does it have to be expensive cherry wood instead of cheap stainless steel? Nobody fucking knows, but it makes sense to the person who controls my access to blowjobs, so cherry wood salad bowl it is.

as another example of lifestyle creep, it’s she wanted it and it wasn’t expensive enough to fight about

Compared to being a student, yeah, tons of lifestyle creep in pretty much every facet. Except I probably spend the same amount on booze, just back then it was like 80% of my disposable income and now its 5%.

New Me: Work 50 hours a week pushing paper, spend $100,000 on taxes, $30,000 on student loans, and $36,000 on a 1 bedroom apartment. You know, the good life!

New you: lol no

Just generally never think about spending on a day to day basis. It’s just numbers on a computer screen and earning money becomes very separated in your mind from actually doing work

stress relief 3 day, 4 day trips with nice hotels and shit

new cars

big metro area real estate not surrounded by poors

other people doing your home maintenance, etc.

fancy childcare

fancy kids' activities

if you do all the above all the $$$ will feel like nothing. i think most people who stay do end up doing most of the above.

end up spending more on vacation because you can’t plan in advance

stop doing cheaper vacations because after working all the time the last thing you want to do is go camping and get poor sleep on the ground

if go to sporting events get good tickets because you’ve worked hard and “deserve it”

In short biglaw is can be so miserable you just use money to try and make yourself as happy as possible when you are not there

oh my bad "lifestyle creep." I read that in the wrong order

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3941639&forum_id=2Reputation#35785517)

My lifestyle has remained static for the most part. The creep happens with a woman not biglaw.

Men are like... "Oh, cool, I have money, guess I'm getting those $2 add-ons without thinking."

Women are more like, "Oh, cool, my boyfriend has money. I should find towels that cost $500."
