How do you spend 320$ on booze :marseymoonshine: and smokes? n you can get a gallon of gutrot and gpcs for sub 20$

Also $200 for "fitness"? Any gym membership that vosts that much isnt worth it. I hardly use a gym and im in excellent physical shape, and when I was paying at a bice gym it was less that $200 for the year.

Also he put fitness in quotes bc he is a fat probably.

No I put fitness in quotes because I ripped off another comment and forgot to remove them lol. There's a lot of sausage fingered fatties in that thread telling him to cancel the gym membership entirely and walk his dog for his daily exercise.

The price you should pay for a gym is directly proportional to how much the normal gyms are infested with the poors. I gladly pay for Equinox because of the patrons at the only other gym in my area.

Not in leafland you can't. Used to spend $50/week easily on booze before I started homebrewing. $320 for cigs and booze a month does not go far here

Alcohol is a scam in Canada. In Ontario you can only buy liquor in government stores and it's wildly overpriced and taxed. Pretty easy to rack that $ up.

It's like $25-30 per pack of smokes and about $25 to $30 for 15 of shit beer. Liquor is at least $20 a bottle for gut rot tier. Smoking 2 packs a week and pulling back some beers on the weekend is gonna be like $300/mo

Canada has very high sin taxes.

@SexyFartMan69 is it true that you can just drive over to an indian (feather) res and buy shit for much cheaper? I used to do that for weed, it was like 1/4 the cost outside the res.

Smokes and weed yeah but not liquor, at least not that I know of.

Ah that makes sense, now that I think about it I don't remember many liquor stores there. There were a ton of gas stations though, and one other thing... maybe fireworks or something?

They also had VERY slow speed limits, I assume they're trying to milk "foreigners" (read: anglos) for as much money as they can.

Any town has a 50km/h speed limit no matter what so you often have the main fricking highways slowing to 50km/h to pass thru some bullshit r-slur town
