Glad I'm not in their $1000 golf shoes

Oh well.  Everybody else has to cut back.  goes back to the old saying...  something about living within your means...ah i forget, I'm too busy paying off my 12 maxed $5k credit cards...  may have to take back the margarita machine.

     It goes to show that people spend what ever they make, very few people can actually put money away and save it.  If they make $350,000.00 a year, they spend $350,000.00 a year, or close to it and sometimes even more with the debt they rack up.

Too true.  It is funny when people get a big raise or promotion, they celebrate by buying a new car with a loan.  Its like saying "Yay, I got a $400 a month raise! Lets celebrate with a $500 month car payment!"

For just thousands of dollars a day, you can feed this stock broker.

All of the problems that the world has, and this sniveling turd is newsworthy because he's been reduced to having to drive around in a porsche and now he can't afford the $17 it costs every time one of his dogs has to be let out to take a dump.

They don't have the bailout money they stole from us the working class to pay for their bonus'....

[firefighter]

You mean the government is no longer our voice? They're not looking out for us?

Shock !!

Gasp !!

I feel there is no one to take care of myself and my loved ones...... but me.    Period.

At $350K/Year that means those poor souls only make $6,730/Per week or $961/Per day.  Don't know how I could make it living like that.


Holy Moses, Id be overwhelmed to make that much money!  I'd be set, period.

350k a year lets see well in 1 month Kim's focus and my Explorer and everything else would be paid off.  Ummmm the rest I have no clue how to even spend that much in a year.  I would probably send my 67 Le Mans out to Chip Foose and say call me when it's done.

I would send my 82 K10 to VileZambonie and say call me when it's done

You know I would do that too and make sure I tell him to put a lighted visior on it.

I would love just 12,000 a year. 350k @.@ I think I would donate 90% to people who need it. You know working families and the people who can't work because of real problems.

[DnStClr]

Audrima, you would soon have a bunch of new friends and kinfolk to help bring you back to reality. Me included..lol

I spent my twenties living pay check to pay check, and it got me down - I would love to have those prime years of my life back. But, it got me to where am I today. Don't envy those that "make too much money" because, in the end, we live in the same country that gives us the freedom to succeed, and if you hustle it you can make it too. I'm a blue-collar guy, and sometimes I'm tempted to trash talk stock brokers, but it's not worth the energy - use that energy to inspire yourself. I had the best year I've ever had, money wise, and I have no say when it comes to the 30k I GAVE away to the government.  You know what I do with my free time? I cut and split firewood so I can put money in my daughter's college fund. I'm lucky if I make 5k a year busting my fricking back splitting wood because I didn't get to decide what to do with that 30k uncle Sammy took to support my country. Help the helpless, not the hopeless - unfortunately, a whole bunch of our tax dollars go to losers that could be splitting wood rather than whining about people that make too much money.
