Uncommon Opinions

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Agreed, but recently the Baked Ruffles (original in the light blue bag) have replaced the regular baked lays. My second favorite is actually Stacy's pita chips.

Another uncommon opinion: flavored potato chips (sour cream and onion & so forth, also including all non-red bag Doritos) are disgusting. I'd say most of my food tastes (90% or so) could actually be listed in this thread. I eat mostly everything plain, dislike all condiments/dressings, etc. To me it just detracts from the food and adds unnecessary bad health qualities to the product in the long run.

I'm generally the same on that. If, for instance, I'm eating a burger, condiments are not allowed. Also, lettuce, tomatoes, etc... no way. Give me meat and cheese and we're good. It's not that I don't like lettuce, etc. just that I can't stand vegetables on any type of sandwich or basically in any form other than "salad" or "raw/cooked vegetable."

Also, I hate bananas.

I don't think any of us could eat there.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

When it comes to ranking Kanye albums, the only thing I know for sure is that I like Graduation the least. I think it has to do with the overall sound of the album and some of the samples he used on some of the tracks.

His best album is a toss up between College Dropout, Late Registration and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. You could ask me multiple times what I think is number 1 out of those 3 and get a different answer every time. They're all classics IMO.

Also, I really liked 808s & Heartbreak and think it's very underrated.

Now I'm probably gonna be listening to his entire discography the rest of the week.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I'm agreeing with you now. I've stopped buying Blu Rays for most movies now because I realize I just don't go back and watch them much.

I probably just need to go out and sell all my old DVD's to get rid of them.

Never bought any blu-rays because I realized that I never watched any of my DVDs I had collected. It is weird though, because when one of the movies I owned came on HBO or something, most of the time I will watch it.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

saving money always has a purpose. New house, car, vacation, etc. But also have money saved up and ready for emergencies. (auto/home repairs, doctor/hospital bills etc). Saving money is crucial. But everyones situation is different.

Yeah, I can't hate on someone who doesn't save, but that won't work for me.

Without saving we couldn't have afforded our house, or put on the wedding we're doing in May, or gone on trips, etc.

We have a 4 night honeymoon cruise and then a family trip to Europe in July. We had to plan and save to make sure we had money for all we have going on.

Also, I like to have a solid cushion in case I get fired or something happens. You never know, so can't hurt to have some money saved away, IMO.

I don't live totally frugal though, we just figure out what things we want and what it takes to get them smartly.

Same boat.

I know people who spend it all, and I know people who spend nothing.

There needs to be a balance though. I think, generally speaking, if you are saving 10% of your income, you are fine. That 10% is for emergencies and other spending. If you are saving for a house and what not, bump that up a bit. I'm shooting to save 10-15K this year, but most of that will come from by overpaid taxes and bonus.

I also like stuff plain too. Sandwiches are turkey and American cheese only, hot dogs only ketchup, burgers only only cheese (sometimes bacon. Also tacos are only beef/chicken, cheese, and hot sauce

It's amazing what you can save if you look at what you're buying. Even eating lunches at work. I've tried to stop picking up fast food (or similar) and making my own lunch. That adds up, at 5-10 bucks a lunch!

Plus in general I like to know what bills we have all the time, when stuff's due, etc.

Planning a wedding (mostly on our own) and buying a house have really helped force us into analyzing our money. We were pretty good all ready, but this tightened us up a bit and because of that we'll save more for great fun purchases!
