The Easiest Way To Get Rich Marry Rich

[Forge]

OK... and the point is what besides that they are nice?

Dayna, I believe curling thinks either you are a guy OR you are a lesbian. Not sure which.


As for marrying rich? If you love the person it's a wonderful fringe benefit, but I personally would never marry a woman "just for the money". Hell, I married a farmgirl who makes peanuts, so you can tell that money isn't that important to me.

On the other hand, if my wife got a job as a CEO making seven figures and she told me I didn't have to work anymore, Man I'd jump all over that! I would have no problem letting her support me or pay for everything. If I could retire tommorrow I would.

Like I said I am talking silly rich here. Where you could buy a Lamborgini Countach without even considering the cost

!

Typically, someone buying a Countach, is very much considering the price......ie: it's an aging vehicle...and they can't afford a Murcielago.......

At any rate does dropping 275,000 on a car (Murcielago) qualify one as being silly rich......???

People really have no concept of money on here. (read Curling)

I still love ya, ya big Jesus loving freak........just messing with ya.

Wanna buy a bike???

Hang out with some "silly rich" folks and you'll realize that they're typically very different from what you think. Sure they spend money but the ones who are extremely flashy are few and far between.

there inlies the inherent difference between "old money" and "new money"

That book also tells you that the average millionaire is worth like $1.1M including their house, and is 58 years old.

That book is a marketing ploy gone haywire. Anyone who buys a house and pays it off over a 30 year career as well as contributing the max to a 401(k) will get to $1M by retirement.

That means: a nice retirement. Not wealth.

True. But the book still has a point. Folks with money are typically not the flashiest people. Flashy people are typically not that rich. Guys who buy really flashy cars usually got their money yesterday.

I recently built a house in a neighborhood with a nice mix of truly rich people and married six figure earners who are stretching on their mortgages. It's pretty easy to tell the difference.

I'm sure YOU can (since you live there) but I doubt that the average guy can. How can you tell the difference? The cars they drive? Bet you the married couple making six figures have a Benz SUV, right? And they're still not rich, just in debt. There's a difference.

True enough. But new money is often much much richer than old.

I'm sure YOU can (since you live there) but I doubt that the average guy can. How can you tell the difference? The cars they drive? Bet you the married couple making six figures have a Benz SUV, right? And they're still not rich, just in debt. There's a difference.

Plenty of Benz SUVs...

You tell the difference in the way they act - stress levels and fear that someone is going to pull back the curtain and expose them as being mortgage-poor debt lovers.

Also, the "stretchers" are the NOSIEST people in the world.

Yup.

How's the Dog????? I hope well.......

And, some of the most irritating people in the world.

He's cool. He's really out of it because of the meds but he doesn't complain one bit and he still wags his tail (or, for the most part, his entire ass) if you give him just the tiniest bit of attention. His latest thing is to bring ALL of his toys (he's one spoiled bastard), one by one, to my desk and plop down right next to me and nap. I think it's his way of saying "I'm still fun, I still WANT to play".
