28...and thats part of the reason i ask these questions. I prefer to learn from others mistakes and keep my leg up.Originally posted by Baron Von Crowder View PostNever said that either. Im the least wealthy of my friends. I see what I should aspire to by looking at the good people I chose to surround myself with.
Kinda like my grandfather would tell me, "if you are the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"
arent you like 25?
But i still think about what it would be like if i were a surgeon.
Some people just love what they do and arent good at slowing down. Its incredibly hard for me to sit down and watch tv for any period of time greater than 30 minutes every few days because i hate not being productive. Its a different strokes for different folks kinda deal.Originally posted by GeorgeG. View PostI don't know... I've seen people that "look" like they make a shit ton of money, and they look like that's all they do.... work. If that equals rich, then count me out. Not that I was ever "in".

Shit, I am getting rich now, it is just taking a while. It is fairly hard to be independently wealthy and be young. The vast majority of people in that situation inherited everything they have.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Way back when, my high school auto mechanics teacher had the right idea. He always would say "all you do is marry a rich nymphomaniac whose parents own a liquor store". Probably should have listened to him more.Last edited by 1carcrazyguy; 06-16-2015, 02:24 PM.

lol... I forgot all about that. Well, I guess Im close to ruffdaddy's GOOD money now but not rich.Originally posted by slow99 View PostYeah, I guess you'll need to define rich. Let's assume for D/FW since that's where most of us live.
The existing board definition for good/GOOD money is:
8MPG: $40k/$70k
ruffdaddy: $90k/$150k

That sounds good, I'd like to do that.Originally posted by Broncojohnny View PostShit, I am getting rich now, it is just taking a while. It is fairly hard to be independently wealthy and be young. The vast majority of people in that situation inherited everything they have.
Rich is also a subjective term. What numbers one thinks are not the numbers another thinks. Prior to 30, I thought that $10+mm got me an invite, with $50mm nearing FU money. Now? I just want to be sufficiently well off to travel the world and live life on my terms. I'm not sure what that number looks like yet, but I hope to at least have it figured out somewhere in the not so distant future.

Haha i didnt catch this edit.Originally posted by slow99 View PostYeah, I guess you'll need to define rich. Let's assume for D/FW since that's where most of us live.

I would say rich to me is maybe 250K plus a year with no expensive dependents. Enough to afford a mcmansion, second property and a few badass cars and other toys.
