I said this in another thread, but I will say it again for those that never read it.

  • I live on 14 acres of land, with 1,200 feet of lake shore.
  • My house is 2,300 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, two and a half baths.
  • I drive a 2000 Porsche 911 convertible, and a 2001 fully loaded 4x4 Chevy Pickup
  • I have a boat
  • I have all three gaming systems, 5 computers (2 Mac’s, 30” Dell display, and high end gaming rig), a 50” 1080p HDTV, and a fairly high end sound system (Denon receiver and Polk speakers).
  • I have a fully decked out workout room, with free weights, heavy bag, spin bike, flat panel TV and DVD player, the works.
  • I go on a nice vacation a year (cruise though the Caribbean, or a week in Mexico usually)

I could go on, but that should be enough to put a good reference around my standard of living. I bought everything I own. I am 39 years old and have never made more than 80K a year.

What does 80K a year buy in your country?

I hate what my country is becoming, but do I sound like someone willing to start a civil war over it? No, if I get too pissed, I will just go fishing ;)
