she is one of them

went shopping with my brother and his girlfriend yesterday and she grabs 4 big bags of bird food at $20 a pop and im like what are those for? she feeds the quail in her backyard and 1 bag lasts 2 weeks. she makes triple figure money but the finances are all screwed up, she's pushin 65 and says she "needs" to work another 5. workin for quail i will not do, if i made triple digits i wouldn't be working.

Her heart is in the right place. I'm afraid that I'm not so fond of quail as to spend $40 a month feeding them.

Now, if she's just luring them in with the food and shooting the quail and cooking them up to offset the cost of dining out, that strategy might pay out. You'd have to eat a lot of quail though.

I've never fed the quail. I'e hunted the quail though. It's challenging and fun. $40 a month to feed quail seems like a lot to feed them though.

I'm sure you have habits and hobbies she wouldn't throw a dime at either

While I wouldn't pay money to feed the quail or any other animal, I really wouldn't give much thought to it. A friend of mine paid $800+ for some licensed pure bred bull mastiff puppy, which I like to call Mad Dog. His money, his problem. I wouldn't expect him or anyone on this forum to pay $1000 for a used Snap-on tool box. To each their own...

How does it affect you personally that she spends her money to feed the quail? Why on earth do you care?

By your user name, id guess you have a collection of something that many people would say is excessive. Am I right?

it doesn't, merely pointing out that frivilous spending will get you nowhere quick and you better realize it.

your absolutely right, my money goes into tangible items that do not depreciate. all you 99 percenters squander your money and make poor decisions then have a sense of entitlement like someone owes you something?

I just read on a survivalist this weekend someone say she had bought bird seed for the purpose of keeping them available for shooting for food. I thought it sounded odd. Eat the darn birdseed if you need the protein.

[97guns]

no her intentions are not to lure them in for food, just pure frivilous spending just like the gov't. and neither are financially stable, its become the way of life to do so. i have a choice to do the same and so does everyone here, the sad part is that 99% of america is feeding their quails, i choose not to work.

According to this article below, you're part of the 99%.

However, I do agree that people can and will justify anything they want, even at the expense of true necessities.

Wait...this thread was started talking about your bird lady girlfriend-in-law and now it's devolved into a discussion of the Occupy Movement and the 99% vs 1%?

The interwebs is funny.
