Baller shit to do in a 80h+ work week
Bros, what are some real baller things to do when you´re getting absolutely buttfucked on several pitches and live deals as a new analyst, but you also earn a shitload of money, but you are also incredibly antisocial? I´m not talking shit like going to the disco and spending 500 bucks an evening on a single girl, but some cool, wacked out shit, like... idk? Trying out Matsuhisa? Ordering caviar on the corporate card? Must be something I can do alone. Eager to hear your thoughts.
What did I just read
An honest question
Just do whatever u wanna do. If ur into movies just rent out the whole cinema or smth if u really wanna waste ur money (just dont see why u want to get rid of ur money so badly)
Doing that already, currently at 1x per week, based on Rippetoe´s SS
Fly to Paris for the weekend (as soon as you have a free weekend). Fly La Premiere on Air France, drink Krug on the flight over and have your caviar, then stay at the George V and eat at Le Cinq then head back home (don’t forget to get the free facial at the airline lounge on the way back).
Haha that might be a "tiny" bit above my price class, but I love the general spirit! Paris can be so beautiful in the right places.
Fair enough, if you like food (and are in nyc) I enjoy dinner by myself at a nice spot. Get some nice wine and enjoy the food. Plenty of top places to enjoy a quiet meal solo.
Now this sounds fucking awesome haha
Don't forget also to book with a Four Seasons Preferred Partner for perks
Bought a 3k++ gaming rig and played like fuck on a free weekend
What you playing my man?
Dark souls, Resident Evil, and now Elden Ring of course...
Currently trying to get out of bronze in Valorant when I have time.
rent out a supercar for a night/weekend and gun it down some highways.
go to a gun range, rent/buy an expensive fully-auto and fuck around let off some steam on target practice.
do some drugs with your friends at an edm festival/club night and let go of work.
go to a casino, bring girls with you.
rent out a room at one of the top hotels in your city and get a penthouse suite, get the best food available delivered in, roll some joints, and sit in the rooftop jacuzzi smokin and relaxing.
These are some of the things I'd do, time permitted
On a side note, you have to bring a friend with you to a gun range.
why
lol sorry which of those things do you think I've never done? sit down and send some networking emails out to your future slave runner MM PE principal, prospective monkey in LBOs LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL KEK
Hire a hooker
Crank open an LBO model in preparation for Apollo Case Study
Who tf wants to work for Apollo?
Sleep
underrated comment
If you have a sports car join a local track and take out your toy for the weekend. If you don’t have a sports car, some tracks have exotic cars you can rent for the day and track them with an instructor. Pretty fun if you go often and you’ll learn a lot about driving at a cars limit.
Anyone have Chicago reccomendations?
Yeah, play dodgeball with bullets. Pretty exciting, I think.
Been here for 3 years now for school so here’s some baller shit I see my graduated peers in IB do: take dates out to Nobu, Alinea, etc. Bottle service at Tao, Bounce, LIQRbox, and any other club in river north. Also boating in the play pen. Couple of my brothers in my fraternity have their parents’ boats docked on Lake Mich (north of Chicago in the burbs) so we take them down and have a sick time during the summer.
Tao? What is this, 2012?
MSed for bounce
spa, massages, baths, expensive restaurants, shopping, travel, expensive wine and other liquor, live music with top seats, favorite sports event with top seats - many ways to spend money
"Escorts" are mad available in NYC and some are pretty hot....is what I've heard from friends.
Pizz-tier post lmao
They'll be here within a few hours to drop something even more down-bad
Some ideas to consider:
a. If you see someone in need, ball out and buy them a decent meal or fund a kid's education in another country. Spread good vibes. It fostered gratitude and humility when I was able to help someone in need.
b. Ball out for a high-end barber/spa experience. There may be male-specific spas worth looking up. $100 to $500.
c. Go to a fancy restaurant. By yourself. Ball out on fancy food. $200 to $1,000.
d. This one requires spending time with another person literally strapped to you. Go skydiving once the weather warms up. $150 - $500.
e. This one requires spending time with another person in a small space. Go take an introductory flight at a local flight school. Everyone gets one introductory flight. ~$100 for ~40 mins of flying a Cessna 172 with an instructor. By flying, I mean you get to take off, do a few turns and take in the local scenery on a sunny summer afternoon.
f. Get your motorcycle license and get yourself a ninja 250 or 300 this summer. Next year, get yourself a Triumph Daytona or a Ducati 848/1098/1199. Nothing like going on a ride by yourself on backroads. ~$500 for license + $2,000/year for insurance +$1,000 for gear. Bikes will cost anywhere from ~$3,000 to $7,000 and you can make that back when you sell them. These are based on Canadian licensing fees and insurance rates.
I did the motorcycle thing. F'n loved it and highly recommend it. I used to tear up the Gardiner at 3 am after getting out of the office. Agree that Ninja 250/300 is the right starter bike (excellent "extras" like ABS which are not usually standard for lower price point/cc bikes), but I ended up getting upsold by a friend to a Suzuki 650 because I am stupid that way (more powerful, but still not a Litre bike).
However, I would actually recommend going to proper "Motorcycle Driving School" first (before buying the bike - they will providing a training one for you, usually a Honda 250). Don't want to be "that" kind of stupid. Riding a motorcycle is legit dangerous for reasons that are not your fault. Drivers in cars just don't see you (physically and mentally - you just don't register on the road).
Sold my bike when I moved to NYC. I'm not suicidal. Also, insurnace could be more than $2k depending on your age. For some people, insurance may cost almost as much as/more than the bike (at least for the first year or two).
Also, another piece of (unsolicited) advice. I considered my bike my "mini yacht" - a little toy vehicle in my price range. And like yachts - it's not the price of the yacht that gets you, it's the berthing: Look for an easily accessable garage near your office/home that has a special (cheaper) rate for motorcycle parking.
If you are at Bay and King - for me (at the time) this was the CIBC building.
Thanks mate, appreciate the input
a. Will have to do that in the future anyways, since I´ll be an uncle in a few months, and my sibling isn´t quite the money maker
b. Not a bad idea, my back has been killing me for years now. Might try these fancy stones and a massage
c. Yeah, that´s on my list for sure, or me and my girl for her birthday
d. Definitely on my bucket list for years now
e. My dad had a license for flying, took me flying a few times in a Cessna. One of my most treasured memories
f. Nice idea, but my hand-eye-coordination is so fucked, I´ll pancake myself on a wall within the hour lmao
Huh...maybe I'm richer than I thought, but Matsuhisa didn't seem that pricey even though it's supposedly four dollar signs. Baller thing would be taking first-class to some random ass island and than just big chilling with a drink and book on some random beach for a weekend.
Here’s some baller shit only for the big dogs
Remember. You’re the man. Everyone thinks you’re cool. Show them you’re the coolest.
You'll have to go to Chrono24 or an aftermarket dealer in the diamond district if you want an AP... retail is still a disaster.
You mean you don't want to have to buy 2-3 non-core line AP watches for the hope you'd have access to a Royal Oak?
I'm being facetious, but you're right. Retail is legitimately almost as bad--if not worse--than secondary these days.
.
Buy a nice watch so you at least enjoy watching your 20's fade into the singularity.
:(
I love this guy.
Sure you can order caviar on your corporate card, although your bank might have you use their account on seamless. Also Grubhub has more options than caviar.
bottle service
Bribe a zookeeper to rent a penguin for a special event
See this? This is the shit I am talking about!
