How much money is enough?

Mate, I'll need at least a couple and quite frankly that wont be enough because I am determined to own a few top thoroughbreds in this lifetime and they start at the $250k mark plus. Big dollars, indeed.

But, to just live and enjoy life I would think 2.5 would get me setup and invested well enough.

Crikeys, I better get saving.

Jeez, live a little will ya'.

By your logic then I'll be lucky to scratch sixty because I've partied hard since the tender age of 18 and while I've never smoked I've surely indulged in life's naughty pleasures a touch too often.

I respect your go though. But jeez, get out there and blow your hair back because once your 20s are over its a touch trickier to doge the bullets, or so the saying goes.

I know...i am a super exciting person on paper....

Every teacher in highschool thought i was stoned all the time, i was just bored with there class. I didn;t drink till i was 21....and even then i dont drink which FREAKS PEOPLE OUT!!! I drink ad it doesn't do much....i did shots with my sister on my 21st birthday....I did 15 shots and i literally felt nothing. It runs in my family....my mom is the same way. I always looked at it like this...a drink is about 4-8bucks...a coke (at a bar which they are asssholes about it) is 2bucks....its cheaper to drink coke and the sugar buzz is more then the booze.

I have gotten in a lot of trouble in highschool, i had an assigned seat in the office. I had a hall pass that neevr expired because i got sent to the office a lot. My junior year of highschool i skipped 63days of school....and passed all but one class (teacher failed me even though i had a B because she hated me) The school had a policy that if you missed more then 20 you automatically failed no matter what....i guess i found a way around that ....

And although i haven't had sex with a million people....i dated a girl fro 7years (now broken up...from 15-22) and our clothes accidently fell off sometimes.....


I have have my fair share of trouble....i just dont do drugs and drinking does almost nothign for me.

My dad drinks wine all the time....I guess i have a glass here and there....I am not too much into wine. I have found a couple i LOVE and a couple that are horrible.

I dont like warm liquids (Reds) and i dont like cool liquids either(whites) i like COLD liquids. I prefer soda...cold, carbonated, and sweet.

I guess i forgot about drinking wine because most people count drinking when they try to get a buz or something. I have gone on a couple wine tastings and i will drink a glass or two when i go to Oceanaire with my family. (5 star seafood restraunt downtown seattle....my dad knows the chef and takes me, i can't afford $170-$250 per person...i am UBERbroke.)

I would actually rather drink vodka shots....Grey Goose, Kettle One, Stoli, Absolut....i like vodka more then wine. On the rocks to get it cold and small sips to let the vodka 'bloom' in your mouth is nice....if its a good vodka.

First off don't look too deeply into my poll. Everyone here is different and although a million isn't that much in California I'm sure Spitty would do more than fine with it. We all come from different places and everyone has different dreams and aspirations so maybe Spitty is the one in here who wants $5M+.

I'm working. I'm not really planning on so much inheriting anything but I am working to build up a business so that's where I'll get my money from.

I think the real question that some of you missed is how much money would you need right now or in the near future to live happily? Sure you can still work if you really want to for fun but in my case if I had enough money I would spend the rest of my life travelling or living in different parts of the world.

Having a lot of money when you're 80 is a bit different than having it when you're younger. Don't think about it so much as how much do you want when you retire at 70. It's a matter of how much you would need now to retire and be happy.

Dude, you have Mack and Jacks African Ale up there. You don't realize how lucky you are!

You know having read this, I'm confident you're not that exciting off paper either.


Heh heh

Be nice to me, i am fragile

In middle school there wasn't a localized detention....so i had to report to every teacher individually. So if i pissed off my science teacher i would have 45 min with him after school...well i was such a nice kid that i spent 2-3 hours DAILY with teachers. I sevred them in the order i got them, first period teacher, then 2nd then 3rd and so on....lol

Interesting detentions....all in 7th and 8th grade.....

Science teacher made me correct tests, build models for class, fix wobbly desks, stir the compost bin (yummy!!), and all of this was a joke...i ended up with a desk in the hallway setup so i could see the board but not the students to distract them....

Math Teacher made me join the math team. She made me come to her class when the math team was meeting and would make me explain problems to them when they missed them. I hated it, the kids on the math team try real hard but weren't all that great at thinking outside the box. I bascially tutored them but never competed....it was either basketball or math team....tough call. I also corrected tests and actually a couple times created quizes for the next day.

Gym teacher was also the track coach and i had to do the daily workout for 45min with whichever group i wanted, distance, sprinters, or throwers. I usually ran windsprints because it helped with basketball and baseball. I also had to do rediculous things like wash and fold towels, sanitize the weight room (Gross!), and my personal favorite....shag golf balls in an open feild the gym teach practiced his irons on.

Art teacher wanted me to scrub the tables, chairs, and all that becuase they were filthy from paint, clay, or gum. But she was the easiest to get out of....it waseither 45min of DT or 200pushups, whichever came first. After 2 weeks i could knock out 200 pushups in about 5min.


I spent most of middle school in the hallway or DT.
highschool i didn't get in as much trouble but i was still a huge pain in the butt....except my senior year. I didn't miss a single day of school, no DT, nothing but great grades and worked a job 50-60hours a week after school and weekends.

You've never had two birds at the same time!!!
***points and laughs***

Bastage!

...*sits and cries*...

Who were you after? The Lewinsky sisters?

I did actually try it on with sisters, but I got told to sod off otherwise I'd get none out of the one sister I was plugging. I'd had the other sister not long before, and they were a pair of dirty bints so I fancied my chances. Alas, no..... :?

...*proud*...

Trust me, these two were as far removed from nuns as you can get. My wake up call was her mouth clamped round my John Thomas. Every morning.

I don't doubt it.

I want either a 'normal person' cash flow or an insane amount of money so as to influence world events.

Having five million is neither here nor there. You get all the decadance and degregation that comes with wealth, but you don't have enough for anything of really awesome proportions.

Also, pickxx, with all the pollution in the air and shit they put in our food and water, guesstimating your age like that is completely futile.

I'm not sure a good beer is worse for your health than the E2xx they have in soda in any case.

Not the title of the thread. The title of the poll. Was just wondering why the Hamburglar was going off with his "Your poll doesnt make much sense because there's too many open variables that can be a determining factor: where do you want to live, what kind of home would you like to have, etc. " The idea of "enough to live the life you want to live without working" seems to pretty much cover everything.

From FAQ section:

Edit: Forgot this part:

I don’t know. How much would it take to rule the world? On second thought, that might get lonely, so I may need enough to conquer another world or two.

He didnt change anything as far as I can remember. However, when you try to establish what amount is enough, it is rather important to state where you want to live and how you want to live (other than just not working), and neither was specified.

I don't see how it's rather important to state that at all. He's just asking how much. For whatever lifestyle you want, regardless of what it is how much is enough to you? The poll isn't about where everybody wants to live, that part's up to each. The poll is just about an amount. If you haven't decided those things in your own mind, that's for you to do. The poll makes perfect sense as it is, though. Save us the partypooping.

Was there a test? Baa. To busy drawing picture and making paper air plans.

Oh, yeah, I bet you're a riot at parties! [/laying it on thick] LMAO
