That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Most Americans would probably have a hard time wrapping their heads around a $350,000 salary. In fact, government data cited by Sam Dogen of the Financial Samurai blog shows that some 95% of U.S. households don’t pull in that much. The median household income in the U.S. is $57,782, with places like San Francisco and New York City showing medians income for a family at $96,265 and $79,781, respectively, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The thing is, that kind of income, while relatively huge, is barely enough, according to Dogen, for a family to lead a comfortable life in coastal counties — where almost half of the nation’s population calls home.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Sell your $1.8 million house. At 5%, that will give you an extra $19,000/mo every month for the next ten years.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. -Dwight Eisenhower-
"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government." -Ayn Rand-
