I always considered my friend's dad, the one I bought my 944 from, to be rich. 40 years old, his own company, 2 911s, a 100K boat, a nice house that he completely re-did inside. And 2 great kids. He took us everywhere, nice restraunts, track events, shopping. One cool dude.
That's one definition of "rich".
The other would be my sister's old Organic Chem prof. 36 years old, 2 PhDs, a Masters, and a few million dollars in the bank. Said he created a couple drugs (that he couldn't talk about at the time) working for a company (that he couldn't talk about at the time). He took a massive paycut because "God called me to teach".
My other buddy's dad owns a local body shop that does the repair work for a few insurance agencies. He's has 120 acres of very nice hunting land with a nice little house that he hunts deer at, and thinks nothing of spending $2,000 on the latest and greatest bow. Hunting is the one thing he really enjoys in life, and has no problem spending any amount of money on it. He recently returned from an African Safari; he said it was about $20K just to ship his trophies home.
IMO, some of you guys seem pretty darn wealthy. New 911TTs, GT2s, $25K engine rebuilds. I'm going to consider myself "rich" when/if I can ever afford a Ferrari. Being a math major, though, I'm not seeing that happening:-P
And, yea, mede8er, you're a fool:-P Just kidding, if it makes you happy, then that's something money can't replace.*
