Married NTers and those living with their girls please chime in Vol. Women Vs Shoes

[nycposite]

will not comment with fear of wifey walking by







Wifey got me to slow down on kicks. No more 5 pairs every 2 weeks. Its not that we are short on cash but she feels like its just throwing money aways since I dont even get to wear most. So in return she slowed down on buying designer bags and shoes. Now we just save more and take more vacations when we both have time off. By the way im 25 with a mini me. I fill my void with buying mini me a pair a week

If you have an account with WellsFargo, they can open up a stock/brokerage account for you.  WellsFargo will move $1000 into that new account for you to buy whatever shares you want.

Ameritrade I think also has the same $1000 minimum needed to open an account.  E-Trade is $2500 if I'm not mistaken.
The point is, once you get an account open, you can buy/sell online EASY.  Just follow billionaire Warren Buffet's advice and "buy what you know".
If you eat at McDonalds, buy McDonalds stock.  If you are a fan of Chevron gasoline, then buy Chevron stock... Apple shares are an incredible investment at any price... there's Amazon, Coca~Cola stock, Pepsi stock.

If I'm not mistaken, Pepsi Corp owns other brands like Taco Bell and Pizza Hut... but don't quote on the exact brands.
 
Plus if you buy good and STABLE companies like Johnson & Johnson or Proctor & Gamble, you get quarterly dividends paid to you straight depending on the number of shares you own.
I personally own J&J because we use a lot of baby products with my kids.  Plus you KNOW everyone is going to buy baby products.

If you look at your toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, stuff that you use everyday, you'll be surprised that you use stuff made by the same corporation (ie. Proctor & Gamble)

HECK IF YOU LIKE NIKE SO MUCH, WHY NOT BUY SHARES OF NIKE CORP?

  I mean, you support the company enough by buying their shoes, might as well get some other returns from your investment.  right?  Good Luck man. 

Can you sell or withdraw your money at any given time??...Thank you so much, you definately handed me info that I find extremely useful.

Yup, with the click of a button online.  (As long as the stock doesn't go to 0 because of bankruptcy or you have a halt in trading) 

Most accounts allow you to write checks with them.  So you can sell your stock and then write a check using the cash from the stock you sold.

Yeah you can definitely sell anytime.  Deposit on a Monday, buy shares on Monday, the price goes up by Tuesday, sell that Tuesday before lunch.
But in theory, you DON'T want to go about it like that.

Just imagine your kicks are shares of your favorite companies (ie. Nike, Google) just like how you have differing Jordans (ie. retro 11s or 23s)... I'm assuming you plan on holding your kicks for a set amount of time before you sell when you think the market is hot?  There's no difference in the equation of kicks vs. stocks.  You know what I mean?

I'm sure you do research on certain shoe release dates.  You research the quantity being released.  You get a feel on how 'hot' the market is for those shoes.

Dude... pretty much the same thing when it comes to stocks.

Just don't think of investing in stocks as gambling like in the casino.  People with that mentality normally don't walk away with a profit.  Just go with stable, large, popular companies.  McDonalds has been around for 60 years.  I doubt it's going anywhere bad in the next 20 years.  You see what I mean?

Do you like beer?  Buy shares of Anheuser Busch if you're a Budweiser guy.  Do you smoke cigarettes?  Buy shares of Philip Morris if you're a Malboro guy.

Are you a Ford truck guy?  Buy shares of Ford.

KEEP IT SIMPLE MY FRIEND.

That all being said, I've been reading other NT'ers post that as long as you work hard for your money, you should be able to do with it as you please.  Plus you already have a savings account established...... So keep up your shoe hobby if it makes you happy man.

I dont think you should change anything at this moment. With no kid, stable income and the bills getting paid you should do as you please with the extra bread you making. Although I would recommend not buying every sneaker you see since from the looks of your WDYWT posts you are not lying about the two pairs every two weeks thing.

I got out my sneaker phase once I came to college and I just ended up wasting my sneaker money on other things (liquor, females, bud, clubs) and in the long run don't got nothing to show for it besides the memories, can't say that will be the same thing with you since you're settled with wifey but Im sure the money is going to go somewhere else if it's not sneakers.

Regardless though if you take a break from kicks it will only be a matter of time before you relapse and start buying sneakers again and ultimately end up buying the sneakers you missed for more than retail, which is ultimately worse than copping at retail when they drop. Trust me, it only took me one pair of White Cement 3s and Royal Blue foams to set me back to my old sneakerhead ways. I blame the Sneaker Watch job though which has me around kicks again after a 3 year layoff.

Real Talk if your wife is complaining about how much money you put aside have a talk with her and decide how much money Both of you should put aside from every paycheck.

Whether its the same amount of money 50/50 from both of you or a % of each others paycheck, what ever works. Long as you both are putting in your equal share, after that,
what ever is left to spend is 100% for YOU to spend how ever the hell you like. Thats my advice.
