I'm not into fancy cars, I don't need a lambourgini. I have a pretty modest lifestyle, because I want financial independence and retiring early (look up the "FIRE movement" if you are not familiar with the concept). I would describe myself as an "everyday millionaire" or "millionaire next door" that lives a life indistinguishable from any normal person. I don't wear fancy clothes, my wife doesn't wear fancy clothes or jewelry either. We don't even have wedding rings because it's an unnecessary frivolity. Not just the financial angle but I'm also religious and try and be plain and simple for spiritual reasons (the testimony of simplicity) and I consider luxuries to be a sin. Two of my idols are Thoreau and Ted Kaczynski. I've actually written letters to him about simple living and he wrote me back. I'm one of the few people to receive mail from the unabomber that didn't explode. I tell my kids about him and tell them to refer to him as Uncle Ted. His cabin is actually my dream house but my not my wife's and obviously you can't have kids there. So I make some sacrifices.

I have 5 cars so the Tundra is not my daily driver. It's just a beat up old junky truck that I use it to haul garbage to the dump, in fact I made a dump run with it yesterday. Sometimes my son drives it and I originally bought it for him to drive but he has another car he likes better so usually drives that. My Dad didn't give it to me, I paid my Dad $2k over blue book price for it because he thought it was worth more than it really was and since he is not financially stable he probably needed the money more than I did and $2k isn't a significant amount of money to me but it is to him. I had told him years ago that if he ever sold it, don't sell it to the dealership but just sell it to me and I will pay you the dealership price. He told me that the dealership was offering him $2k over blue book and since I had already agreed to buy it at whatever the dealership was willing to pay I felt obligated. I also suspected his was lying and the dealership didn't offer him way too much money for the truck, but it is at least possible the did just to make the sale and they'd make more money on the one he bought. I don't get why you are so fixated on this truck, like you are jealous of it and want it or something. If you want to pay me $2k over what it's worth I'd gladly sell it to you.

He hates my brother just as much as me but I can't imagine why as my brother is an angry bitter liberal douche just like he is. He has no relationship with him. For example my Dad has never visited my brother's apartment. He's at least been to my house a couple of times. Strange he has no relationship with either of his sons. Must be the sons fault.

You keep acting like you know me just because you know my Dad. How my Dad acts towards me and what he says to me seem to be completely different that what he is telling you. Maybe he doesn't want to tell you embarrassing things or tell you about how much of a jerk he is. One thing is for sure, you are completely clueless and misinformed about my relationship with my Dad. You have never seen us at the same time and are just using what he tells you as your source of information and what he is telling you is a misrepresentation of the truth. Since you are such great pals with my Dad, you must also know my mother because you all lived in the same town and went to the same high school and were best friends with her brother. Why don't you call her up and ask her about my Dad and you will get a a completely different story from what he says to you and it will coincidently match what I say.

I'm not really angry just kind of scratching my head why you say stuff about my relationship with my Dad that's so inaccurate. My Dad has done a bunch of fvcked up horrible things that he never told you about and I don't feel like airing all his dirty laundry publicly here. If you really care, call me on the phone and I'll explain more stuff in detail. But I don't think you really care, but please just stop posting about me and my Dad. I'm embarrassed for you about your ignorance on this issue. You are so cocksure that what my Dad tells you is what really happens between us it's just odd that you have never observed us interact but somehow think you know more about our relationship than I do. It's just weird.

Please stop posting about my relationship with my Dad telling me I'm wrong about my perception of our relationship you have no firsthand knowledge of. It would be like me telling you how great your relationship is with your ex-wife and your perceptions of that relationship are wrong and even though I never see you interact I somehow know more about the relationship than you do. It would be absurd. Don't be absurd. It's fvcking hilarious the more you post about me and my Dad the more you demonstrate just how far up your ass your own head is.
