Thread: So you think your 'acquisition disorder' is expensive??

Your looking at that razor that isn't yours, yet.
Your deliberating if that aftershave would get the approval.
You just know that cream you don't have yet would lather better than the one you're using just now.
You reflect on the place that new hone would fit in that really is a fair price.
You speculate how luxurious the next brush would be.

But the expense is adding up!

You already have enough wet shaving impedimenta to see you through and several generations after you.


Rubbish. Wet shaving is the cheapest relaxation around. Here's proof.




Russian vodka distributor Yuri Scheffler owns this 440-foot yacht, which has turquoise neon lights that give it a nighttime glow.It has a combined 48,000 square feet of covered space on its seven decks, including indoor and outdoor pools, 12 pools, and an outdoor screening room. Scheffler purchased the Italian-designed yacht for $US330 million in 2011. It has a crew of 52! And you thought that TOBS cream was a little out of reach?








Valued at $59.9M, both Lakshmi Mittal, an Indian businessman and Phillip Green, British businessman own a Gulfstream G-550. It will burn through nearly a million dollars a year in fuel alone, according to the aviation research firm Conklin & de Decker. Crew, maintenance, insurance and hangar costs add another million. That japanese wet stone looks cheap as… a piece of stone.







Even a one off experience such as climbing Mt Everest is enough to create a wallet vacuum. Fitness training alone is $8,000 followed up by a $10,000 bill for gear. Katherine Tarbox of Time said "I never knew gloves could cost $300 or that I would own two pairs of them. The Arc’Teryx hard shells start at $600, and down suits run closer to $1,000. I’m now also the proud owner of a pee funnel, a device women use to prevent frostnip on the lower body, which set me back $23." The actual climb itself starts at $35,000 up to $100,000 and you may not come back alive for that money either! And you thought that extra razor would be a little over the top?








Enough with your guilty acquisition disorder.

Lets start calling it an Acquisition Order.

So go on, order!

Count me in SIR!! I love it, thanks for the post.

Yea, it's all relative.

A fine piece of research!

Don't want a jet, I like jumping out to much a Cessna will do. I did my time in the Navy a "boat" .... I could get by without. Everest is on my bucket list though.
Thanks for helping me justify my disorders I really do appreciate all the support I get here, it keeps me out of therapy... ;-)

yea, all those crew people, there was no privacy so I sold my yacht to the Russian.
