coach belly are you an advantage player.

You see MisterV you don't have all the answers. And I still see you as an insulting/bragging rude man.

And I see you as a dolt with blinders on.

My post was not intended to insult Mr. Crimm, whom I rather admire, actually, given the adversity he overcame to get where he is today.

Rather I mentioned him as an example; choose your typical AP, then put him / her into the scenario I mentioned.

If you still don't get it, well, there's no cure for either cupidity or stupidity.

Again, I'm not saying I am better than your average AP; I am saying that your average white collar professional attorney is likely better off financially at retirement age than is your average AP, whatever / whomever that may be.

Now let's factor in Social Security (not SSDI or SSI): I wonder how many AP's are drawing close to $3K a month Social Security when they hit retirement age?

Is it rude to speak the truth?

MaxPen, recently made a reference that was similar to this one which I think was very meaningful. It is not how much you have but how much you need. Bottom line here is living within your means, which can be deceptive depending upon where you live can and does make a huge difference.

In post #26 MisterV you are still being rude with this quote:

"Who do you think has acquired more money / assets: me, a guy who worked 40 years as a lawyer, who invested, saved, and stayed out of trouble, or Mickey, a slot AP who not too terribly long ago might have been described as a hobo?"

How people are described here is often based on alliances, or may in fact be something so far in the past tense is ridiculous.
