Here's a bit of reality.  I do work in finance and accounting and I'm about as middle of the road as it goes. 

As compared to many parts of the world I'm very wealthy.  As compared to parts of my city I'm very wealthy.  As compared to some of my friends I'm poor. As compared to those I work with I'm poor LOL.

It's all relative.

We are all 6'2"+ and 250 @ 8% BF. It's like a board of nothing but uber-successful muscle men.

Or a bunch of bullshitters.

Lol spent an hour talking to my landlords son-in-law, about potash in east africa. He had me convinced it was the next big thing.

Seriously thought dude was involved in that shit, turns out he worked at a pizza house, and was just dropping cash on penny stocks  .

The ironic part was he wasn't white, and my landlord was ultra hard ass russian jew.

Assumed he had to be loaded to get permission from the father.

Your average person you see walking on the street struggle with money. Very few people are comfortable. Even less very well off. Almost 1% truly 'rich'.

Me and the girlfriend are friends with this other couple. New SUV,  he gets a free house or heavily subsidised through his work. Couldn't meet us for drinks the other night as it 'wasn't pay day yet'. Now it is pay day and they're off on holiday the same day.

I don't see people that's shit with money as real people. Just scum that evolved to talk and walk like humans.

Today, I removed and cleaned the diesel fuel tank from a Lincoln Ranger 405D generator/welder which I bought at a machinery auction.  I also purged the coolant from the radiator with compressed air and all looked good.  Pressure washed the body panels and drip tray.  Tomorrow I will bleed the fuel lines, warm it up, and change out the oil.  Should last me a decade at least.  66 hours logged & got it for a song.  

All day long the dog was patient & well behaved, except for following the neighbor's dog over the road back home, but I'm pretty sure it was by canine invitation.

I've also recently reset the valve clearance on a Honda GX390 and put right a Kohler Magnum 8's fuel pump and carb issues.  Both now smooth as butter.  These will be pulley mounted to hydraulic pumps also acquired at auction.  Direct coupling is a future option once my lathe is up.

I'm not in finance.  I prefer to do what I want with my time.  Today was great.  How do you reckon wealth?

[FermiDirac]

I don't think there are so many in "finance" here?

I don't see many threads about 20:30 reservations at Dorsia.

Calm down Trotsky.

Most of the people in here who write about finance do sound very much like they are in finance.  The watches threads aren't for me but unlike those of you with Socialist tendencies I am not consumed with envy for people with nice things.  Each to their own and aspire for things that make you happy.

[Natural Man]

I'm better than all of you.

[the trainer]

I dabble in finance to help grow my money but I am a trainer.

[Tapeworm]

I'm bitter than all of you.

I can't compete.

Both he and his lovely wife attend regular Mensa meetings. They discourse at length on mathematics and ancient civilizations.

This looks like my day as well haha. My car is over 30 years old and worth 800$, but I love the fact that I have the skill to fix anything that can ever break on it.
