      I have less than Alby but I'm still proud of it.

        18 is drinking age!

          For businesses/investments earnings are net, but I think for individuals I'd consider your earnings to be your gross earnings.

          Seems to suggest such here:

          The world's leading online dictionary: English definitions, synonyms, word origins, example sentences, word games, and more. A trusted authority for 25+ years!


          So I would have made the same assumption Alby did. Certainly if someone asked me how much I earn a year I'd quote my gross salary figure not what I got after tax.

              They might be asking because you are looking for a higher paying job though.

                  But that clearly makes no sense in comparison to someone's savings, which is clearly post-tax.

                  Edit: Though if you were making the assumption that a 27 year old had all of his savings in an RRSP or equivalent, that's pretty silly also. Even my money in my RRSP, the vast majority of it I've paid tax on and will be getting back in ~Feb.

                      Only a ****** would buy a first gen iPad.

                      I will consider the 2nd gen in Feb/March, depending on capabilities and price.

                        Where do you put all these gadgets, Asher? Do they clutter the place up or do you have a vast, expansive pad with ample storage space for everything? How do you manage all the power supplies and accessories and documentation etc? Or do you have as much fun organising all this stuff as actually playing with the toys.

                          As if it's a sane comparison anyway....

                            The old gadgets get sold. Otherwise they just clutter up the house.

                            I've got a bunch of power bars in the den and bedroom to manage the power. It's not too difficult.
