Money So, I am a millionaire. What do I have to show for it? - Page 2

**TinyEvel** · 07-16-2009, 01:15 AM

Do you get that Social Security "Lifetime Earnings Summary" thing in the mail?
Basically, it shows your SS earnings for your lifetime and estimates what you'd get back if you retired in XXXX year, etc.

Well, I got out the calculator and, God Bless me, I've earned a million U.S. dollars in my lifetime.

Now, you'd think I would be sitting in the back of a Rolls Royce limo with a tophat and tails and suhweet mustache like that Monopoly game guy, right? Because the seven figures is your ticket to riches and bathing in mother's milk with rose petals.

NO!

I have....
a VW Camper van (needs new front end)
About 20 percent of a decent home.
10,000 in Evel Knievel collectibles
An iPhone
Some decent threads and my wife has about 10 feet of closet stuff
Timex Ironman watch
Converse shoes
A Dolce and Gabana Belt
A really big TV and a PS3
A decent road bike
...

...

uh, some other stuff......

WTF? right?

I feel lliek the cobbler who has no shoes.

case in point...
SAVE YOUR MONEY

it is WAY better than watching your kid open the fifth Wii game on holiday morning. One friggen Wii game is enough!

Bleah. I'm depressed. My whole life, I've made responsible decisions only to get the chair kicked out from under me. The defense industry bust, the tech bubble, this latest econo-saster...I may as well have just spent it as fast as I made it. Some Wall Street mogul has a lot of my life savings, which he probably used to buy a $500,000 waste basket/desk blotter combo for his office.

A wise man once said... "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

I often think of that quote actually... wise old pointy-ear guy.

How much you want for that D&G belt ?

I'll trade you a pair or slightly used Vittoria tires for it ?

Halfcan · 07-16-2009, 11:06 AM

I have a bunch of steroid era baseball cards for sale.

That is My retirement.

Duh. He was talking about pussy. Not money.

Anyone who thinks having cash is not as good as wanting cash, PM me your bank account info...I'll make all your destitution dreams come true...

rofl. I bought that belt in 2004 and wear it almost every single day. In terms of value/usage I got a great deal. I spent 135 on some Diesel jeans like 8 years ago and they finally wore out a few months ago. I wore them probably twice a week.

If you give me $10,000, you will be able to show people some Rep points from me.

That used to be the truth, but not with the way our economy is (and now projected to be) over the next decade.
