Question, does the $200K include rental property of any sorts?

Also, welcome to the bottom of the barrel as far as salaries go here on ATOT.

I must be about buried about 6 foot under the concrete pad that's holding the barrel. :'(

Maybe it's because I don't have any rental property.

Yes. It will buy me a jet ski. Ever seen anyone frown on a jet ski? You know why not? It is impossible. The idea that money can't buy happiness stems from people who have none or people who have no idea what to actually buy.

wow i never knew you were daniel tosh until just now!

Wow. So 'much' income and still such a sad loser that you have to resort to bragging on the internets. Classy!

And no pictures of Ferrari, trophy wife, or country club membership. Not even a M3. Even Alky had a M3.

All of his threads are brag threads, some more transparent than others.

Except he had one thread in ATGarage about needing new belts for his 94' Toyota camry. What person who brags about their money drives a beat up shitbox like that? I'm guessing he somehow starting talking about how frugal and awesome he was in that thread, too.

When he's right, he's right.

The CFO of the company I work for drives a Hyundai or some economy car bullshit. And I know he makes more than $200k a year.

I have a couple rental properties. My income alone from them is about $70K/year.....

Of course if I am being honest and taking out mortgage, insurance, and other expenses I pocket WAY WAY less than that. Maybe a quarter of it (of course I am not counting the fact that they are paying the mortgage as well.)

I wonder if the OP is doing the same thing...counting it as income without removing liabilities from it. Maybe his rental unit brings in $40k/year but his true income on it is closer to $10k.

Forget about 200K, if only I could make a penny out of each of these fantasy threads like this one, about porn star coworkers and on and on.

Two work from home jobs (already have one). Both companies are aware and OK with it. Plus my rental income.

But is it worth having to look over your shoulder???

The Pitchforks Are Coming… For Us Plutocrats



You probably don’t know me, but like you I am one of those .01%ers, a proud and unapologetic capitalist.

Seeing where things are headed is the essence of entrepreneurship. And what do I see in our future now?


I see pitchforks.

At the same time that people like you and me are thriving beyond the dreams of any plutocrats in history, the rest of the country—the 99.99 percent—is lagging far behind. The divide between the haves and have-nots is getting worse really, really fast.

The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society.

Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the revolution.

And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich, for all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds: Wake up, people. It won’t last.


If we don’t do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us.



No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality.



In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn’t eventually come out.



You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.

The most ironic thing about rising inequality is how completely unnecessary and self-defeating it is. If we do something about it, if we adjust our policies in the way that, say, Franklin D. Roosevelt did during the Great Depression—so that we help the 99 percent and preempt the revolutionaries and crazies, the ones with the pitchforks—that will be the best thing possible for us rich folks, too. It’s not just that we’ll escape with our lives; it’s that we’ll most certainly get even richer.

pssh let us know when you make the $200K WITHOUT rental properties. That's basically cheating.

Congrats, I recommended supplementing your earnings with some rental income.

OP admits he is a low income earner... so shameful.

$200K is what I was making at 10 years old, from my lemonade stand.

I just hit $4.5M,... in bonus alone,.. for JUST this year's quarter. Step up your game OP, or GTFO.
