Cool post.

I had a neighbor where I used to live that had an Escalade, with the shiny spoke wheels and everything. Bitch was on full WIC, TANF, kids got free lunch and everything yet she had a new car with a multi-thousand dollar stereo system in it. Also knew an illegal mexican that had a late-model Honda. It was a way nicer car than I drive and shit, I was making literally like 6 times more than him. Nothing like having a nice newer car when you live in section 8 housing.

Point is, ANYONE can get a sweet ride these days. They will loan to anyone.
My neighbor had one too..............then it got repoed and a little later his house foreclosed.

So you can not always judge a book by it's cover.  By the way any of the Getbig millionaires who need a nice ring for their wife get ahold of me, we still have the ring
Something that kills me is when females "compare" diamond wedding rings with each other and whose ever is bigger indicates that their husband loves them more than her peers. ::) Poor schmoe is probably paying out the ass for the ring, and is still trying to keep up his wife's lifestyle.

i laugh at guys who actually marry women that have that attitude.  They are in for a life that I sure as hell wouldn't want.  Idiots.

It just seems that people think someone is successful  based on the car they drive.  Bobs always mentions how Nasser is a success because he has a Mercedes.

The admin at my work has a new BMW 325 and makes $15 an hour.  She has debt to her tits to drive that car.  Got denied about a dozen times for a loan until finally a credit union gave her one to buy that car.

The VP at my company has $20 million from a recent sale at his old company and drives a beatup VW with missing hubcaps around.

dudes with nice hair like Alex23 flaunt a Hummer like he's a success but he's not.

a very common, sad story
its what most people do and aspire to
which is why thay are terminally in debt

Don't assume shit "laxactive"...

I graduated college at 23 with a Master's in CS, first job out of college I started at 92k... that was 1999 during the .com boom, in the Bay Area, add 4 rounds of stock options, a company that went public (Informatica), enough money to retire 5 years later, never took a paycut and had raises / bonuses every year; do the math, but I think the whole concept isn't something you can put your arms around, it's beyond your comfort zone, a financial reality you don't even know exists.

I worked my ass off for the last 10 years, came out of college with 90k in debt, my parents didn't give me a dime...

Regarding posting about all this on here, the house, the cars, the money... most of the time it's for fun but also to inspire others and show that it's possible, even at 33yo to work hard and have assets... without being a drug dealer or being "neegar rich" (no offense)..

Driting a 7 series, highly stupid, it's a limo. And RPF, finding a Mercedes V10, would be like finding a Yugo with a V12, they don't exist, unless you built the engine or did a engine swap with another manufacturer.

Yep. Without all the drama. Get to stay home play some PS3, watch movies whenever I want, sleep in, not deal with commuting, eat good food and not answer to anybody or worry if I'll get fired. ;D I'm cool with that.

That's pretty awesome Alex.  I too paid my way through school....every dime of it.  Now I didn't earn have what you did on my first job out of school LOL, but I've built and built over the years.  Within my field (analytics) I won't ever earn the huge dollars....I'm honest about that.  Still, what you posted is possible if you have the intellect to develop the skillset and couple it with the ability to communicate.  I can communicate, but unfortunatley I'm just not the smartest in the bunch LOL!  I pushed forward and have been successful (relative term of course), but again it is possible to do what you did if you bust ass and the stars align a bit LOL.

it takes time sometimes to land a 'real job' too. and thats when you start earning real money.

when I graduated university (biology) and then did a post grad 1 year progam at a local college, it took a year get a job in my feild. getting in was highly competitive. thats just life.

During that time, I worked a crappy retail job while applying for jobs in my feild.

Glad to hear you're working in your field brother... biology/chemistry is a cool field. I originally started my major in biochem. Unfortunately I've been programming since I was 11yo... so when little contract and opportunities showed up I sold out and switched my major to Electrical enginnering.
