    I would add a newspaper subscription, whether a print edition or a tablet edition. But a man over 30 should subscribe to a newspaper.

    Also, a plain white dress shirt. She has the suit and the shoes, but not the shirt.

    I'll take the bait. What's wrong with New Balance?

    It's a way to drink coffee without using a coffeemaker. I think it improves the taste.

    I have all of those things EXCEPT the fancy pocket knife and my only black suit is a tux, although I have charcoal gray, navy and navy pinstripe. I love my French press.

    I would add to the list a pair of dressier sunglasses. You don't want to be sporting your wraparound Oakleys with a suit. It's just wrong.

    Everything but the french press, black suit (charcoal) and record player. Surprised leather jacket didn't make the list.

    The toolkit is lame-oh! The hammer? C'mon!

    Tools? Yes. A toolkit (color-coordinated at that)? No friggin' way.

    Lot of pretentious and conformist BS on the list. Not for me.

    And "who cares if you know how the stock market works" sounds like solid financial advice.

    Well, right... I have a tool box and a bunch of tools, but nothing that resembles what they had in the photo.

    Why in the fuck do I need a record player in 2013, except to look pretentious?
