Sorry.....I had sex this morning before breakfast. The endorphins were rushing. I need a nap now.

Quote from Pig : Have never remodeled the house or bought a new car. Nor have I started any thread about having a great job! Now, only if Mr. SD hired me.....

but all your threads are boring

(some people also like to make stuff up -overcompensation for their poor miserable existance)

Either way it goes to the Jews.

What be the problem?

Quote from cupcake42 :

I am no where near rich. I am now at what I call comfortable. I don't have a real credit card or a bank account. When I want to buy things online I use a prepaid MasterCard or Visa. I paid cash for my Mini after working my ass off and saving money.

We put money aside for different things such as; We have an Entertainment Fund, Rainy Day Fund, Christmas Fund and a College Fund for DD.

Once the Entertainment fund goes to a point of something we want ... we usually check out CL and see if there is any thing in our price range. So far that entertainment fund has gotten us an Xbox 360 250gb Slim for $150.00, Wii Console $60.00, 55' TV for $140 and the latest is a Mac Powerbook G4 for $125. BTW, the entertainment fund is change and one dollar bills that we put away in a jar and it eventually accumulates. So it gives us plenty of time to think of something we want and that we consider entertaining.

You commoners are so funny.

33% of my income just dropped into our bottomless deficit hole. You are welcome America. You are welcome Obama.

what do you consider well off?

Personally i have shit tons of extra money every month.

But i'm also in a decent paying job, live in a very modest rental duplex, dont buy fancy clothes or shoes at all, eat frugally when i eat at home, pretty much havent had a real vacation in 10 years, dont have children or a steady girlfriend that i spend money on, and own an 11 year old mercedes and a 4 year old tahoe.

so if someone making about $50k / year and paying all their own bills yet still having enough money to eat out nightly or sit at the bar and hang out with friends 4-5 times a week is "well to do" then I'm it.

It's all about perspective.
I've got friends that make more money, and bitch about being broke all the time, yet when i see them "out and about" they are wearing $400 worth of clothing compared to my $80 worth.
They also feel the need to have $400-$1000 purses for their wives, put their kids in designer label clothes, and have to have the latest things for their kids like smart phones and ipod touches.

thats fine for them, but i dont have any sympathy for them at all when they complain about not having money with two parents working and bringing home $120k+/yr.

You would have alot more money for toys if you didnt keep popping out babies.

Quote from Piccaboo : Cupcake, you are no different than many others here, many live as you do, and many live far below what you do, and many live above what you do. What makes the difference is how you handle how you live - and whether or not you are "happy" - do you wake up each morning and say "I'm happy" - I have a good family that loves me, and I love them - I'm proud of who I am and my family as well. If you are able to say this - you are already "wealthy". There are far too many people I know that are filthy rich wealthy - and hate themselves and their families - not worth it

I wear good clothes, I don't have kids, wives (well, my ex found a high roller after the divorce),houses, cars... when I have 1 million dollars in my 401k, I will retire. All my friends are in the close income range as me, they are happy. No complains!
