No way. I would accept if I had no other options, but there are numerous ways to make more money than that yearly...and many of them are legal.

No. That would be a HUGE step down for me.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

It costs 1200 a month or something like that to rent a single-room apartment in NYC. You can stay in a four star hotel in Argentina for about the same."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won.

A good point about neccesity. I stand corrected.Originally posted by DanS
Some things are needed more than others. Braces aren't a need in any reality with which I'm familiar, for instance.
They go to parochial school, but they'll have to go to public high school (I suggested that a home equity loan would be justifiable to pay for parochial high school, but they probably won't choose that, in part because the kids would have to travel 1 hour each way). The kids play on sports teams, but they don't do Boy Scouts.

Jaguar: Dude, you are having a what's the price of a loaf of bread moment. Renting an efficiency in NYC will set you back way more than $1,200 a month.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I would definitely take a wage like that in Argentina. That would be fantastic. When I was in Argentina during the devaluation was great for foreigners (not so much for those paid in pesos though). Last I was in Argentina it was like 3 pesos to 1 dollar. So literally $40,000 dollars is worth 120,000 pesos.Originally posted by Jaguar

Well, the edit was because I didn't know a precise figure, but it cost well more than that 5 years ago.

Pretty much. They have lots and lots and lots of cows there. So if you go there, eat steak and buy yourself a nice leather jacket.Originally posted by PLATO
