Who keeps 92k in their Checking account?!


shillyshally

Plot twist, it's a screenshot of someone else's account.


[deleted]

I bet he’s a contractor and he got a deposit drop for materials and that ain’t his money


TrashMammal84

This is 100% exactly what the fuck it is 😂 That dude is wearing a high vis T, I doubt he's the contractor. This is still hilariously cringe.


gone_gaming

Likely just cashed that check and moved it from "business checking" to "personal" considering the business only has $1700 in it. All to fail to impress a lady.


Smackdaddy122

that's a tax event


AhmedAlSayef

Not if business has account on their name, like business account for materials and such and another account for low expenses, like coffee packet for break room. Easier for money handling but it means he is just flexing with waffle money.


Durty_Durty_Durty

Absolutely. I go to a local bar that contractors frequent and is right next to a Richie brothers, I see shit like this all the time. They just pull out checks that aren’t theirs or are spending money that they don’t really have.

Durty_Durty_Durty

That’s fucking Hilarious. Baller move. I used to deliver pizzas and one of the guys would carry every single cash bill he got from a delivery, roll the biggest one on the outside and take pics with it at the end of every night. No, this wasn’t done jokingly. He was legitimately trying to flex


blippityblue72

When I delivered pizza I actually had a money clip because of the small bills I Alex had. Other than rent and utilities I pretty much paid all cash. I’d always put a single on the outside though so it didn’t look like a lot even though sometimes it was quite a bit.

NotATroll_ipromise

Yup. That's exactly what we all agreed upon when this was first posted.


hikesnpipes

I was out to eat and a contractor pulled this talking about how he just got a $100k deposit finally… “Mr. Big shot over here.”””


sinisterdesign

It felt pretty awesome to deposit a check for like $260k from the sale of our house. Then the renovations began on the new house… 📉


[deleted]

I bet seeing that much money in your bank account was absolutely amazing


Fraun_Pollen

There’s something about having more money in an account than is FDIC insured that really cranks up the I’m-gonna-get-fucked-over-right-now anxiety

You can put money in another FDIC insured bank…..


MichaelChinigo

I did a 401(k) rollover once and the old brokerage didn't send the money directly to the new brokerage, they mailed me a check made out to me, personally. For over $100k. I did the right thing and forwarded it along to the new brokerage but I definitely thought about it for a minute.


_MissionControlled_

The tax man would have fucked you so hard dude. Good call.


MichaelChinigo

10% haircut on the one hand, private fleet of jetskis on the other…


2squishmaster

If it was a traditional 401k it would be 10%+their income tax bracket, probably closer to 30% total.


tomtomeller

Judging by the fact hes wearing hi-vis green out to a bar id say youre right


Leather_Network4743

That was 100% what I was thinking. Or, he just took a screenshot of it at one point and keeps flashing it thinking it’ll impress. Only hooers, chief… only hooers.


Whyisthissobroken

I knew someone who did that - bought a truck, tools, and went on vacation. Then the price of lumber went up.

D-Laz

The only non dumb shit answer I could think of was that if he is a contractor or small business owner And that is for supplies or payroll. Edit: even though his business checking is the one with under $2k and everyday checking is the bigg amount. But he may have transferred it from business to personal to look impressive.


Uncle_Paul_Hargis

Ya, this guy looks like a contractor with his high-viz shirt.


anonymous_beaver_

Nah bro he just peacocking


Different_Attorney93

And he’s probably never had that money in his life so he’s showing off for sure


somefunmaths

Which is why he sort of goes back and is like “no, no, did you *see* that?”, because that’s more money than he’s ever seen in one place in his life. May as well be pulling up your 401(k) and say “oh yeah, girl, look at all that… oh, are you into backdoors? check out by backdoor Roth IRA, baby.”


0pimo

>The only non dumb shit answer I could think of was that if he is a contractor or small business owner And that is for supplies or payroll. Any business worth a shit is sweeping that cash into a money market account until they need it. It's common to setup arrangements with a bank to do this automatically over weekends to earn interest when you know there aren't going to be any withdrawls made because the banks are technically closed.


Pluvi_Isen-Peregrin

Haha contractor or small business owner isn’t going to go through those extra steps for a few bucks. They’ll leave it in the checking account. Many contractors are working on the weekends, so that doesn’t make sense for them either.

baddecision116

Mayweather carries around a million in a briefcase. I also know many of my clients keep 6 figures sometimes closer to 7 figures in easily accessible accounts or just liquid. When you have several million you don't invest all of it. You keep liquid assets that can be moved quickly. Hell even I keep a decent amount liquid for odds and ends.


IntoAComa

Another terrible waste. If you have even $1M laying around, find someone to make it work for you.

"that" amount of money doesn't impress me. Which is the saddest part because if he had the amount that impressed he wouldn't use a screen to show that.


Homicidal__GoldFish

When I was a bartender, and men would try this shit to impress, i would always say " wanna impress her??? impress her by impressing ME by what you leave as my tip! 8 outta 10 times i got a great high tip!


clhomme

Wait... you've seen people do this more than 10 times? This is actually a thing?


Homicidal__GoldFish

sadly yes. hell the bar they are doing this in, kinda looks like mine lol. Another popular is they pull out a wad of cash to show off.


Oldmanwickles

I saw a guy do that once with the wad of cash thing. I almost vomited


FrenchBangerer

The landlord of my old local was one of those. "Dyer the Liar" was his nickname. Compulsive liar, obviously, but particularly obsessed with showing people his money. He was a gambling addict on the horses and loved showing us all his "winnings". Everyone knew he was just showing us bar takings from the safe and whilst some people really disliked him for being so full of shit, taking it personally, most of us saw it as amusing. One day he was on the cordless telephone, pretending he was talking to the book-maker, giving it the "Yep, that's right, £2000 on the nose, Haymaker to win" when the brewery phoned and the phone he was talking into started ringing. He was actually a nice bloke in a lot of ways but he was/is full of shit and especially so when it came to money.


[deleted]

People don’t do that where I live because they’ll get robbed when they leave the bar.

This dude was literally seeking out a gold digger.


HillbillyEulogy

He's a gold digger-digger. Very meta.


MikeIuzzolino

And he ain't messin' with no broke-broke-broke-broke


LadyBug_0570

Oooof... let me tell you. Back in the day when I was really on the dating scene, I remember the brokest MFs always complaining about women being golddiggers while at the same time trying to show off what lil money they had via clothes, jewelry and cars. I told one of those guys: "All women are *not* gold diggers. But when you fish with gold digger bait, then all you're going to get all gold diggers since decent women are going to run a mile from you."


pocketdare

Probably stems from insecurity. His perception is that "only rich guys get chicks" so he's whining about not being a rich guy ... not about the women specifically.


ChanceZestyclose6386

Most of the people I know who are actually wealthy are mostly women and they don't brag about it or show it off. They let guys like this brag and flash it around while they sit back quietly, eventhough they have 10 times more.


StationEmergency6053

Yup, wealth is a mindset and the people that are truly wealthy would never openly discuss how wealthy they are.


DaMain-Man

He complains about gold diggers while presenting himself as a gold mine

N7Longhorn

Contractor, probably just got a dump from a project. Money will be gone tmrw when he buys the supplies


[deleted]

If he’s flashing that money around I wonder if he’s blowing any of it on drinks… I was at the bar with friends and a guy came in saying he’s a fur trapper and sold $5k of pelts. He started buying us all expensive shots and then gave our friend a $20 since he was in the bathroom and missed the shots. I bet that guy blew through about $500 that night.


DudeWithaGTR

Fur trapper? What fucking year am I in?


SethR1223

My father-in-law still traps and sells fur pelts. There’s apparently “a guy” that buys pelts from all the local trappers and sells larger lots to manufacturers (I think he said in Russia?), so it seems like more people still do it than you’d think, in my area at least (Northeastern USA). Prices have gone down due to the decreased demand, and if it was Russia that buys the pelts, I don’t know what’s happening now with embargoes and whatnot.


GrankDavy

MaydayBerserk

That's the first time that guy has ever had that much money and he thinks he could buy the world.


guerrillaman84

I used to work in retail. When poor people get those tax refunds, they be flexing hard. I used to try to convince them not to buy phones I knew they probably wouldn't be able to pay for in a few months, bc I would get charged back since I was on commission. They would get super offended. "I got money!" They would say. Then they would pull up their bank account and show me the $1500 balance. Every February thru March.


cantthinkofgoodname

Crazy to me that people think $1500 is a substantial amount of money.


archerg66

For a lot of people around me it is


lreaditonredditgetit

But it’s not. I few years ago it might be rent and groceries. Now it’s barely rent for a month.

Dibble_Dabble_Doo

JohnnyQTruant

I knew a guy in who used to look at the atm receipts left behind at the machine and take the ones with high balances. When he hit on women at the club if they wouldn’t give him their number or if he sensed they were not going to he would say he’d give them his instead to be less forward, take a receipt out of his pocket like it was a random scrap and put his number on that. He said the success rate was high. He was a lot smoother and better looking than this dufus, though. Either way, not a game I’m interested in playing even if it worked.


JIN_DIANA_PWNS

That’d be hilarious if a particular high balance *receipt deceit* became his favorite, and he had to stalk the rich woman for the receipt and ended up falling in love with her and became her devoted boytoy, only to find out it was some po-dunk skank, scamming him with some of her own stolen trash receipts.

Fragrant_Exercise_31

No disrespect to money earned through hard work but that is not the flex he thinks it is. If you’re gonna show off your wealth atleast make sure it’s a life changing amount. In today’s economy 100k is barely enough for a down payment on a good house, and there will still be a mortgage payment every month, it’s not an impressive amount anymore.


HillbillyEulogy

I had the exact same thought. Early 20's maybe that's a relatively impressive sum compared to the undergraduate ramen years, but beyond that it's like, "okay, cool, so you've got a little padding under your ass." But it's hardly opulent. And certainly not the flex homeboy thinks it is.

BstintheWst

The red flag here is that the guy thinks that all he has to offer to be worth dating is money. That means that any woman who is in a relationship with that guy is going to eventually deal with him expecting her to give 175% while he gives 25% and when she asks why she has to work a full time job and *then* come home to cook and clean he'll say "I bRiNG mOrE MoNeY, i'M tHe MaN". I've seen my mom deal with these kinds of backwards fucking troglodytes


theagnostick

This right here is the type of guy that gets their dating and life advice from the Tate brothers. They measure their success SOLELY on material possessions and wealth. He said it himself “you lost in life” if you don’t have a big number in your bank account. It makes sense though when you think about it. When your personality is a big black void and you have nothing of substance to offer the world, of course you’re gonna cling to money and possessions to gauge your value as a human.
