You do not have to comment so that you can remain anonymous, just take the poll.

If you would like let us know what you do for a living.
Seems like most are taking this a bit personal and this guy pushed some buttons that pissed a few off. I dont take questions like this personally especially from people I dont know and I cant comment on what type of person this OP is because I dont know him/her. Is the OP a jealous person? Who knows. My assumption is that the OP is still a young grasshopper if you will.

To the OP: Its none of your business and not tactful to ask what other people make and what they do for a living especially when you dont know them.

To assume people have alot of money just by looking at the cars on this particular site was wrong. There are alot of folks here that spend countless years building their dream car. Within those years freinds are made. You trade favors, help each other out, and if you are an honest, hard working person, and continue this cycle reaching your goals will be easier and very rewarding.

Remember, yes the destination in this hobby is rewarding, but it's the journey that makes it fun.

It seems to me that there are alot of "healthy" people on this forum.
I want to know how long you last during love making with your spouse.

You do not have to comment so that you can remain anonymous, just take the poll.

If you would like, let us know what you do for a living in order to prolong your stamina.

I was brought up on the work hard, get good grades and work hard at a good career and one will prosper mentality. Then an accountant friend suggested I read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad and boy did my mind set change!

Working alongside guys all on six figure salaries it became apparent that some were doing extremely well while others on the identical pay scale lived pay check to pay check.

Doing some digging revealed that the ones doing well made their dollars work for them as opposed to being a slave to it. I'm glad this change of mind-set occured in my early 20's as now in my late 20's having read countless titles on investment and personal development (and continuing to do so), through applying the principles learned I no longer have to rely on the 9-5 for my crust.

It's like someone mentioned earlier about their PT. It's funny how some will snigger with envy and ask "why not me?" meanwhile the clever ones ask "how can I?"

In the past few generations what it takes to be wealthy has changed drastically, I do believe in working hard to a point, but working smarter is much better

#1 rule I tell my kids.... You can't spend your way to wealth.


In other words - carrying around a Gucci purse won't make you wealthy. Buy some stock - or SAVE some money - and you can buy 100 Gucci purses when you ARE truly wealthy. Driving around in a leased BMW won't get you there.

Good book. I recommend everyone read it. Many of the thoughts and perspectives I read in that book, I already had. It was refreshing to see that others had the same big picture view of things, and that I wasn't crazy.

Marry your high school sweetheart - stay together for 40 years - buy a color tv with a remote for the bedroom. You won't have to worry about such things.
