    To quote Patrick Ewing, "Sure, we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money, too."

    I know more about your former colon than you know about my entire life, so let's not go down that road.

    Link?

    But I want a kid right now. I don't want to put up with the pregnancy, stretched out vag, the sleep training, etc. I want all the benefits without the detriments. Hand him over.

    First, you said $100-$200K, not $200K. Second, which other places have you lived?

    I've lived in LA, Chicago, and Portland. Every city has its super high priced areas that require a huge salary, its middle of the road areas where people can live comfortably on 40k-60k a year, and its low income areas where people make less than that. Portland isn't super expensive, but it sure as hell isn't cheap either. Not anymore. My parents paid 10k back in the 80s for the house I'm living in right now. It's currently worth around 180k-200k. It's a simple two-bedroom single story home. If I was making 100k to 200k a year I'd be living in a 4 bedroom home and driving a significantly nicer vehicle.

    Sure, you could live in Gurnee and work in the Loop or live in Riverside and work in Century City. Mind you, a job that pays $100-200K generally means at least a 50-60 hour work week. Care to add those commutes on top of that? Your position is simply not realistic.

    Clearly your boy was delivered via c-secton.

    Nope. Majority rules. Send him over.

    Nate said $100K-$200K. Suddenly to make you all feel better about your unsupportable position, you now talk about OVER $200K. It won't work.

    Did you not see the info I posted? 50% of the people in this country make 46k or less. Only 3% make 200k, 15% make 100k, etc. You can't base the rest of the country on Los Angeles and New York. Those are the two most expensive cities to live in, short of a place like Palo Alto.

    I saw your info. You're the one trying to use something as simple as income as a basis to decide who's rich. I have been arguing that it's not that simple. For example, if I make $100K in Fargo, I'm rich. However, if I make $100K in Manhattan, I'm living paycheck to paycheck.

    not true at all

    unless you were living beyond your means that is, but the same could be said of 100k in fargo

    lets say 150k to be in the middle of the numbers YOU suggested, thats 10k a month after taxes give or take...4k for housing is plenty...that leaves 1k for a porsche and insurance, 4k left...1k a month for new clothes and groceries, gotta stay fly and fed...3k left....health insurance(although i would bet a 150k job would supply that) lets say $600...2400 left for oil changes, brunches, hookers, eating out and a 3 night crack binge...

    now if your argument is that this person has a family of 5...maybe they should commute and save a couple grand

    By and large, 100k is rich in most of the country, which is the whole point.

    What exactly do you know about my former colon? Give me some details. On the other hand, you have supposedly lived in every city in the United States and most of Europe and love to name drop at any chance. Clear signs of a blowhard.

    After a few entanglements with Maxie, I'm starting to think he's a troll.
