....lybob Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You are welcome to that opinion. Again, I imagine that the reason you assume me to be a liar, is because you've never actually had a job where you weren't required to wear a name tag. Making money is easy when you invest in your own future, and are willing to make sacrifices. sacrifices ? what was there a time you only posted 30 times a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Burn 'em?!?!? Those sequins and glitter must be made out of super asbestos cause they don't burn for sh$t. We don't have all day. Gotta take the kids down to the monster truck rally this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Tie 'em to the back and go. Two birds with one stone. And when they finally do burn, creates one hell of a toxic enviro mess! sacrifices ? what was there a time you only posted 30 times a day There was a time when TYTT only lurked... For YEARS too boot! Imagine that, quite a social butterfly coming into its own! Who woulda thunk! LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 sacrifices ? what was there a time you only posted 30 times a day Ahhh, I see your disconnect. You've never held a position where you weren't assigned various tasks to be performed under the watchful eye of some ineffectual middle-management type on a ridged time schedule. There are days when I'm swamped with meetings and am unable to post much, there are other days when I have a degree of free time between meetings. I hadn't realized that post counts were indicative of earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those "I could've been a millionaire if I tried. I just didn't feel like it. Money can't buy happiness, you know? When you work that much you sacrifice so much precious time away from your wife and kids. I wouldn't trade that time spent with my family for all the money in the world!" types of guys who then plays softball 4 nights a week, mows the lawn every day, goes to Home Depot for hours at a time to stop the sink from dripping, the walls are closing in, anything to get out of the house and away from my ordinary life kind of guys, aren't you?

TakeYouToTasker Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Making money is easy when it it's all you care about. That's may be true, but it's not my motivation. I have a family that I love more than anything in the world, and I want to give them the very best, and ensure that my child (and other future children) can be comfortable without having to sacrifice as much as I've had to. Additionally, both mine and my wife's parents are working class Americans, and like most baby boomers, don't have enough retirement assets to last them through retirement. I believe that family should take care of each other, and it's my job to take care of them as well. Combine that with the notion that I'm absolutely terrified of being poor.

TakeYouToTasker Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Jauronimo: It amazes me the contempt folks here have for people who earn more money that them, doing jobs they are completely dependant on, and are woefully unable to do themselves.

It is about sacrifice. If money is what drives you most, you tend to find yourself with a lot of it. I happen to be sort of a scattered personality. My time and energy get spent in all kinds of directions. That's how I like it. Some other people focus on business and often do very well for themselves. Either way of living is equally valid. It's TYTT's arrogant tone that rubs people the wrong way. He definitely suggests that his money makes him better than other people. I want to point out that there are lots of people who work just as hard and in some cases contribute more to society, but do not make as much money. Those lives are just as important as Mr. Real Estate Bigshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As "the working man" I want you to know how much I appreciate the patronizing pity I get from you guys. My only question is, how will the policies of your party benefit me and my fellow working men as we try to find better opportunities to improve our standards of living & better provide for our families?

I'd actually contract you to do that (assuming you weren't actually terrified of working foe a living and the capitalist exchange of pre-negotiated fee-for-service). I think it would be hysterical.

Rob's House Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Making money is easy when it it's all you care about. It's much easier to have someone else confiscate it from those who created it & have them give it to you. It is about sacrifice.

TYTT makes more money than I do and I don't begrudge him what he makes & don't feel any implication of hierarchy based on that. That's the beauty of the message board: your arguments stand only on your logic, intellect, and persuasiveness.
