How many people are rich

I dont consider myself 'rich' in any sense. I am however comfortable, which to me means while I surely would want 'more', said 'more' wouldnt likely be put to things to keep me alive, clothed, housed or fed. Merely extras.

As far as others, since Ive been working on payroll systems for 30 years now, Ive had to learn to not concern myself with comparative thought for incomes and the like. Ive seen so many downright obscene amounts paid to folks, that whenever Id start 'I make .00n% in a year of this guys monthly draw....)(@#&$(*@&#$ ', I'd end up dissatisfied with my lot. Pointless and self demeaning.

So....for me, the rule is now
rich schmich. I'm good to go

One thing, I did tell the Hubster no more kids unless he wanted to have to become a Wal-Mart greeter in his old age. He can't do his job forever {the building will close eventually}.

Capt. Jack, yep, that kind of is mind blowing. Rick has had access to certain payroll lists and it was mind boggling. But, you can't think about it. Knowing it doesn't do you any good.

I'm rich.

I have many good friends and my family and I have achieved a sort of stasis that is not stressful on me.

I'm doing theatre (it's a love of mine but I'm also doing volunteer work for a good cause).

I work at a job where I'm helping people work through mental illnesses.

I have $20 in my bank account but I'm ok. I'm paying my bills.

I'm not rich in the love of someone I want to spent the rest of my life with but even that's okay with me right now.

I want whatever drugs Brad is on.

Oh wait, maybe I've found them already. My statements would come out almost the same.

I have many good friends and my family and I have achieved a sort of stasis that is not stressful on me - because my parents are both dead.

I'm done with huge events (it's been a love of mine that I've been doing on a volunteer basis for the good cause of fun) - but I'm undoubtedly going back to smaller projects that I love just as much.

I work at a job where I'm helping people work through mental illnesses - - my own.

I have $20 in my bank account but I'm ok. I'm paying my bills ... the bills for my huge events that, despite my pretty rad income, leaves me with $20 in my bank account as a permanent feature for the coming year.

I'm not rich in the love of someone I want to spent the rest of my life with but even that's okay with me right now - - but ask me again next week, and I might feel differently.





I tells ya, Brad and I are practically twins!

You guys are trite but awesome.

If I were a (power-mad) admin I would move these posts to a new thread titled "Happiness".

"Eh, I make a nice living."
