I can tell you're new around here.... everyone here makes mid to high 6 figures a year and is married to a supermodel.
maybe you make 6 figures a year, but i don't.

luckily, my multiple hawaiian tropic swimsuit model wives buy all of my stuff for me and bring it to our private island aka nation of tatooine.

There is such a thing as raw talent - people aren't all created equally. Granted you will need to work hard to realize that talent, but the vast majority of people will never be pro athletes no matter how long they practice.

I don't agree. Sports are so diverse that there is something for Everyone. Even if its golf.

You think *everyone*, aside from handicapped people or other obvious exceptions, can make a living as a professional athlete?

So then why aren't you a professional athlete? ;)

obviously because of the choices I've made. duh.

I'm not rich, doing very well for my age, but definitely not rich. I just like to think I have a much better social life too, which is better than being rich but not knowing how to have a good time.

I have a negative net worth thanks to college loans and it doesn't look like it'll be getting better soon. Woooooo.

Some things may get you down, but other threads make you feel good not to be the OP.

Who was the guy whose girlfriend had a grand ole time on a boat with a bunch of 'Mexican guys'? :p
Hahaha, I remember that. I think it was EyeMWing.

you probably aren't 6' 6", weigh 160 lbs with 3% body fat, have a credit score of 845 and have never bought a sony or bose product before either...

forgot to add no credit card debt and live in a $750K house that you will payoff in 3 years...

why do you guys always talk about me? You did forget my Royals Royce though!

Yeah, you're SO set that you don't even need to know the name of the car you drive!

*cough* Rolls Royce *cough* ;)

You act like all pro sports players make a great deal of money...

My cousin Matt Spaeth, whom was a 3rd round pick for the steelers (played for my almamada, University of Minnesota Twin Cities) doens't make nearly as much as you'd think. I'm just a consultant, and net income is roughly about even.

He made a comment the other day that he wishes he would've pursued continuing his education, and to be honest - I believe he was sincere.
