How do you spend your money* ?

*money - money exclusively spent on the splurges, could even be donations, expensive hobbies and vices, etc. This is after savings, investments and basic expenditures. Just curious about the blind audience since I’m relatively new here Let’s not add TC and make it a d**k measuring contest as it’s

Every decent place needing reservations these days

Anyone else kinda find it irritating how you pretty much always need reservations when going out now to eat at anywhere decent now? I’m not talking about exclusive/Michelin star places. I’m talking about places that are maybe $$-$$$ max only accessible by booking at least a week in advance. I’m fi

Official Educated Guess: Modi more popular than Biden and Trump combined in the USA

It is pretty clear that the USA government has failed its citizens. Meanwhile, Modi has only became more divine like a fine wine. He is a Michelin star in the realm of the political theater. He brings in the fresh wind so many are missing in the USA. Once they elect this genius to run the USA all tr

Masterclass in Tech

You could be a masterclass surgeon, chef, artist, musician, actor… but I feel one can’t be masterclass in tech. We are so controlled by deadlines and shipping half working stuff gets you more kudos than shipping a perfect product / code. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m so blown away when I eat at Michelin starred res

Dating someone from a much wealthier background

Hey blind, I’ve started dating a girl and I’ve been feeling a bit off. She’s a very smart and driven person, cofounder of a start up that’s raised some money - most definitely some from her family but also from VC now. She is from a very very wealthy family from china and the life style that has a

Anyone else spends copious amounts of money on luxury stuff? Is this some kind of a real addiction problem or no?

I'm passionate about all things luxury, from business class tickets, 5 star hotels, high-end Michelin and fine dining restaurants, designer clothes and accessories, supercar rentals, etc. I even buy things i don't necessarily need, for example I already have Tom Ford sunglasses but I bought another

San Francisco is Excellent

Spent last weekend in SF— a truly idyllic and gorgeous city. Hadn’t been up there since 2018, and based upon everything I see on Blind and certain media outlets, I was expecting to find the place in ruins. I walked around the entire city on Sunday for a good 6 hours, and sure, there are some seedy e

Why are Chinese so obsessed with Boba?

I've been socializing with a bunch of Chinese in the Bay Area and it seems like all of them are really obsessed with getting bubble tea/boba like every single day.

Americans Don't Know Shit About Food

I'm American. My wife is not. Over the years my wife has made her case that Americans don't know shit about food. After spending a significant amount of time abroad and returning to eat in American restaurants, I agree. Even if we seek out the best local restaurants, the food sucks. We tried using

Hi blind fam, I’m about to go on a third date with someone who suggested we do something special for it, and we’re thinking of a weekend long date where we travel somewhere.

Restaurant industry rant

Why do most restaurants have to be pretentious? And I'm not even talking about the nice ones, or Michelin star ones. When I go out to eat, why do I have to strike a conversation with the waiter? Why do I need to dress a certain way (for fancy ones)? When I go to eat, I only care about the quality o

Bentonville: Walmart's HQ Town or the Next Cultural Mecca? 🤔

Just stumbled upon this piece about Bentonville, Ark. - you know, the small town where Walmart's HQ is. But get this, it's not just about Walmart anymore. Over a decade ago, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened there, and it seems like the town has been on a cultural upswing ever since.

How has free food perks changed at your company

I see a lot of naive people asking if the job market will rebound next year. If you follow what all the macroeconomic experts are saying, we’re literally on the brink of a big recession.

What motivates you to keep climbing the TC ladder?

I used to be super money hungry but once my TC hit 150k three years ago my greedy ass got calmed down a lot. I realized that I can already do almost all the things I want in life, and I also realized all the fancy things that I used to fantasize about (flying first class, staying at a 5 star hotel,

A tragedy.. or maybe not

So. It’s finally time. I’d like to tell you my story. Posting stuff like this makes me cringe. It’s attention-seeking, but framed in a good way it’s also self-expression. If I’m being honest I do it for both reasons, but ultimately I think sharing can help others if it's not always humble brags. If
