You are forgetting that this is the hugely popular resort known as 'Mingapulco' right.
I wouldn't say this unless there was a thread that asks, so I will say. I'm very rich, and I'm not going to act like I'm not. People who say they are "upper middle class" when they earn $200,000+ a year bug me.
OK, skip the middle if you don't feel like reading my random ramblings.
I go to a school where the vast majority of kids are like
"What's your dad's job?"
"He runs MCI Worldcom" (Yes, that is actually true)
"My dad doesn't work. The interest from his bank account is enough." (This is also true of some people)
etc.
Its fun making fun of people who are really rich. Whenever they tell you a story, you can ask
"Was this when you were staying in the Plaza, or was it in one of your houses in France, or your castle in England?"
"It was in France"
"The villa in marsielles? Or the chateau?" Its so much fun. The way he ges really indignant about being rich.
I suppose I don't look too rich because I have a physically and mentally handicapped sister, and it takes a lot to pay for her education and medical bills, so I never look too rich.
I don't like people who get kind of bitter about rich people. Its annoying. Money doesn't interest me. I know I'll earn more than I will need when I grow up pretty easily (I never will bother to get cable or satellite TV, or one of those big stereo systems.) A computer, telephone, TV, and radio is all I will ever need to entertain myself. Some people, I think, say that they live simply but don't. That bugs me too.
Anyway, I voted mtg

I guess for me, money is not a fetish like it is for some other people on Apolyton.
I have career plans to become a professor and teach undergraduate college students U.S. history. Will I be underpaid? You betcha. Will I enjoy doing what I do? Of course.

Yeah, I don't really believe this one
Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Isnt it Ironic that both of the Mod's are 'Wealthy'? So the Capitalist's continue to hold down the proleteriat ; even in some dark corner of the internet?
Oh ok. Serouisly. I dont make much. My girlfriend makes more than I do. Think in the upper 20k's. But I drive a good car! And have a good CPU!

It's not too hard to believe.
There's neighborhoods around here where the parents own or have owned their own oil companies and now own a fortune, and so do their kids, accordingly...

I'm not rich. But I'm not poor. Lisa's (my girlfriend) father is a stockbroker, works for Merrill Lynch, and she has plenty of money. In fact, she pays the rent on our apartment. I make enough to live on, even without her, but with her, I'm the wealthiest man in the world.

I'll be fabulously wealthy if I can manage to fleece a few more people on hyper-inflated automobiles this month.
Just sold a Hyundai Elantra that MSRP's at $13,800 for nearly $5000 more than that yesterday...ain't it grand?

This is why I always buy cars privately.
When I was a lad, having the ambition to be rich was very uncool.

Yeah...you've got to be an all day sucker to buy on a lot...unless you are hardcore and have all your facts and rebates and low interest rates lined up.
I agree...while it may be the habit of the poor to say the rich suck, I think it is somewhat true. Here's a little story to illustrate my point:
I went to what is now (but was only marginally so then) the pre-eminent college prep school in the state of Oregon. We were made up of about half super rich kids (Nike founder's kids, car dealers, surgeons, old money, magnates, etc.) and the other half suburban middle class (me and my friends). When we were all freshmen (9th grade) we didn't know the difference really. But when you go hang out at your new pal's house and his laundry room is bigger than your home, you start to see the divisions real quick.
The night of our "alchohol free" senior party, a bunch of us po' people hung out in a nearby park and drank some beers. We waited in the parking lot for the buses that would take us all to the group event. Up rolls a really nice chartered bus and off pile, to a man, every rich kid in our class, totally bombed and faced. One of the wealthy fathers had sponsored a kegger for the upper crusters. Three things stuck in my mind from that night: 1) if anyone was visibly intoxicated, they were to be immediately villified and sent home. Not one of these extremely drunk jerks got in trouble. The frustration of administrators who relied on hefty contributions from these guy's dads was very apparent. 2) The guys, loosened by the booze, heaped all sorts of derision and abuse on the poor kids standing there as they got off the bus. 3) If you had cash and donated it, your kid played sports. I spent an entire freshman baseball season on the bench, backing up the much lamer guy who's dad's produce company's sign happened to suddenly adorn our outfield fence. I was an all-state All Star the year before.
I have long been a believer that division in this country and in this world, runs along class lines, not racial ones. As long as we believe the bs that racism keeps us down and apart, the wealthy are safe.
Look at Enron and those scandalous *******s who soaked their workers and stockholders. My company was shut down as a result of some of that crap...bam...200 blue collar workers on the street.
I have no love for those who love money.
