Masqueraders fork out $5,000 - $15,000 to play Mas

[zoom rader]

I can't even understand how a UNC man like ZR doh support carnival. Clearly ZR is out of touch with which party supports carnival more.

I was never a UNC bro.


I am non PNM

[88sins]

I spend more on cars that aren't worth half the money I throw into them...to each his own

that isn't bad spending,that's an investment.
buy really old models & fix them up & keep them long enough for them to be considered antiques & then sell them for a premium worth plenty more than you spent.

More reinforcement for the man-headed Minister whose in Finance to justify heavy taxing

I'm a hoarder. I doh sell nuttn
Seriously tho, probably only one car in my little collection is worth serious money, and only if I ship it back to the UK
The MGBs are worth ok money but I've sunk more into them than they'd sell for, and well the F is a money pit I paid waaaaay too much for, because I really wanted it...can't even give that car away

Carnival you spend money and have nothing to show for it, except a baby

Buying a car or having a hobby then you got stuff you can show or even have a side income

A couple things, Chet,
Not everyone who parties for carnival drops a child 9 months later
Not everyone values possessions
People are happy to pay for experiences. I see no problem here

[jhonnieblue]

Real.beat up in this thread about how to tell a person to spend their money. If that what makes them happy who are you to judge.
If it make a guy happy buying a costume for a chick, great for him. You have you're priorities they have theirs. People pay for the exp as it makes them happy. Why is that bothering some of you'll here so much?

[Chimera]

Apparently you not suppose to enjoy your life or have any memories to look back on.

I played mas once...i always miss it....hopefully will play next year.

Them two days on the road is one of the best things you will experience in life.

[MG Man]

y'all realize some characters in here equate carnival with certain ethnicies and they are using it as an excuse to spew their racist drivel right

Which makes no sense since participation is roughly equal and most promoters and band owners are Indo Trinis.

It's actually proven spending on experiences leads to greater happiness

Me eh seeing no difference between Legacy and Harts tho

[toyota2nr]

So the economics- for the past how many years.... costumes being outsourced for much cheaper, yet band leaders claiming that their expenses have gone up, hence costumes have gone up by more than 200% in recent years.
Yeah allyuh go ahead and support that sh1t! have fun, jump around for 2 days and spend allyuh hard earned money ………...

well i was wondering the same thing- its the experience, whether its carnival, traveling, dining out etc. You may not agree with it, and thats cool. I may not want to spend on somethings that may be of interest to others, and thats ok as well. To each his own.
