I define wealth as my wife and 2 kids.
Nothing else matters.

[desertergreg]

indeed, although i would also throw in job satisfaction myself. but thats coz ive created my own job.

having said that i require a certain level of income to keep them happy i suspect. im still crossing that bridge.

im at -2970 not including stupid things like student loans.

So Investing would be giving your wife another ?

It's okay to tread on the working class when you used to be one of them.

Isn't everybody working class or is their a hidden elite/master caste ?

just a quick dip into the topic while on lunchbreak.....
working class isn't necessarily about income either. more like a mind-set or way of viewing the world.
we've just moved from a 'working class' suburb to one that has a high proportion of 'ladies who lunch'. Sure, there are poor/working-class people in this suburb too, but the feeling and appearance is totally different. I have never felt more strongly working class than I do right now, surrounded by well-heeled people in their fine threads and stupidly large off-road vehicles that never leave the urban tarseal.

Now I'm not saying it's all about clothing, cars and income. No matter how much I eventually earn (and I have earnt large sums previously), I will never be one of those middle/upper class twats because it's just so fundamentally not me. ever.

I could go on... but I have students to teach.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
random pirate noise to finish

[Retardobot]

Oh, that is attractive. Mighty attractive.

[Growler]

Did you hear back from your big interview Rii?

[Retardobot]

Not yet dude. I have a meeting with the person who chaired the interview and a member of HR tomorrow just for general feedback on how I performed. It's not going to be good but I want to be able to hear what they say regardless so I will be better for next time.

Hopefully they give me a nod or a flick tomorrow.

[Growler]

Fingers crossed mate!

Head high, I'm sure you will be getting the best possible news!

[Growler]

?

who me? oh gawd no.
I have an artsy creative type brain not a mathsy sciency one... numbers make my head hurt.
I'm having to do lots of stats on my survey data at the moment - the only thing that makes it bearable is that I'm measuring responses to offensive language. Stats are only fun when the units are words like 'motherfucker' and 'retard' and the answer is what type/age/religion etc gets more offended by which word/s. fun times. can't wait til this sucker is all written and finished tho.

[Clin]

Ha, no, I'm trying to figure out where growler works.

Sadly, I have an artsy creative type brain and I do the accounts where I work.

My head is ALWAYS sore, just to varying degrees.

oh well.. he's not a financial anything either
his occupation shouldn't be too much of a surprise... he posts examples reasonably often

[Emrico1]

He's a baconater

[Growler]

I AM THE BACONATOR!

[bitchimom]

see? no surprise

just bacon

which is really about all you need....

[Nostargate]

sounds like a scab.....errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Now, before you say "eeeew!" remember that sweet and salty tastes are often pretty great together. Chocolate covered pretzels, say. Or salted butter caramels. Or peanut-butter cookies. Sweet plus salty makes them multi-dimensional and more exciting to the tongue. And crunchy bacon bits on a chocolate cake offer a third dimension... sweet + salty + savory. Very exciting!

Some approached cautiously, but everyone who tried the chocolate bacon cake proclaimed enjoyment. Some went back for seconds. In the end, not a single slice went unclaimed.

COME ON HOLIDAYS!!!

[Menial]

A persons assets, does not dictate their income.

You could have a million dollar home, with a million dollar mortgage - yet are classified as being a 'rich' prick.

If you have no income to service any expenses you are fuxored, regardless of what assets you have.

Firstly, the means to acquire a million dollar mortgage, either you already have serious equity or you have serious earning power.

Secondly, if you choose to put yourself into such debt, then that's on you. Many people on lesser incomes with relatively high levels of debt have no such choice about their position in life. CHOICE, the rich have much more of it.

Thirdly, your scales:

Rich = $2,000,000 house with $1,800,000.00 mortgage
Poor = $350,000 house with $25,000.00 mortgage

are the living definition of straw man.
