Who's is ready for a change?

[bounce]

I just want to see how many people give a shit one way or the other.

[jfree]

I am always interested in bettering my finances Bounce.

FYI, we make about $100,000/yr, and your right, that aint rich, though I to thought it was, not when you've high overhead paying 1/3 into taxes and living in the second most expensive state to live in. I know I've plenty of debt, back taxes(long story), student loans, and it's not like fishermen have health insurance.

You're right jfree.

I never knew just how little $100K per year was until I realized I wasn't even CLOSE to being "rich" when I made $200K.

$100K per year is just a slightly different level of poverty than $30K per year. Although it's not that much more money, you will pay a lot more in tax.

That's the thanks you get for busting your butt and being "rich." lol (tongue in cheek)

Like jfree, of course I remain interested in any means to make more money. I love my current job as well and I don't see myself quiting regardless of my financial circumstancesin the near future.

One of my main goals is to be able to live where I want to live when I'm done with this job. Better financial resouces give me much better options for the future when I will eventually have to walk away from the job.

EDIT: This must be the results of coming from a simple and frugile family but I don't consider myself poor and I make little more than 40,000 a year.

With this salary I actualy have lived in a situation that is comfortable to me, free of debt, and a situation where I still stow away some cash here and there after each paycheck.

And when the RIF comes?

What then?

Go find another job?

That seems to make sense to you. I think it's a ridiculous idea considering you can build something that can support you at triple your income level.

This is about building a system that will support you and your family. Relying on being able to sell your time for a buck is just too risky for me.
