JENNR8R 0 #7 April 21, 2006 A 'top job' shouldn't be reduced to the amount of money that one is paid. I'm sure that a skydiving instructor is happier than an attorney in their work.

Darius11 12 #15 April 21, 2006 Dude like every job on the list was making 80 K a year. I must be missing something. Is every one making 80-100K a year? thats awesome but i feel like i am doing something wrong cause 80 or a 100 K a year is alot of money to me.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just looking around I always wonder how people do it specially families. It looks like everyone I see has a new car and they have like a 50K SUV and off course they have two.

Ever see that credit commercial with the guy riding his lawn mower in front of his house saying something like "I can't even afford the monthly interest on all my loans but I have lots of great new stuff and a great big house". Thats how they do it - they're in debt up to their eyeballs... it's not something to be envious of. I'd bet 90% of the US has more debt than net worth.

I have a close friend that's always 'bragging' about having lots of money in the bank, but his debt is easily 3 times his net worth! I don't understanding 'saving' tons of money with huge high interest debts to pay off?
