  • Shiiiiiiiit....I wish I was rich. My son has decided to go to the hostpital for something major once a year - right about when the medical bills are caught up. I hope that they will kick some back for college when he gets older. I know that I already bought a nice Corvette for one lucky doctor out there.....makes me sick to even think about it, to be honest.

      I live in Vancouver BC and that income would never afford me a 6 bedroom house. Ever. I only buy gently used cars anyway. Really overpriced real estate out here. Welcome to the global economy guardians!

    • Because people talk crap, the majority of players on the forums are still in school and have a paper round, adults don't generally share there income details with random people on the Internet.

      • I make $110,000 a year myself in America, but I think you arent counting the exchange rate when you make the comparison. The British Pound is worth much more. One pound is worth $1.56 U.S. dollars. So if someone here is making $110,000/yr, that is the equivalent of 70,500/yr in U.K.

        • Mate. I earn 26k a year, part of that goes to tax, NI, and paying back my student finance which leaves me with hardly anything after rent, travel and food. The grind is real!!

          • Most people on the Internet are full of it or are misleading you. 100k a year is a GOOD income in America. Most people probably mean they're parents make that combined. I have a base salary of around $80k, and I am extremely grateful for that w/o a college education. Took me 10 years to get there working a good utility job. I could say I make over 100k, because I work 50 hour weeks, and that overtime is awesome money. I could say I make 100k, because I'm Union, and our benefits are awesome... But really I make $80k because overtime COULD run out, and I won't see that benefit money till I retire. Because of that, my wife stays home with our newborn, and I'm grateful we are still really comfortable. Most people I know my age (30) are having a really hard time finding a good career. Even a degree isn't really worth much anymore unless you got into the right field. I knew a lot of people who made over 100k a few years ago if they were on commission, but times have been hard in America, and things are a lot leaner. Maybe people are still quoting their incomes from years ago. Also, Americans have a real problem with debt. All that awesome STUFF, is probably on a charge card.

            • I have no job at the minute, I live in a one bed apartment, my T.V is 32", my headset is a set of JVC headphones with a mobile phone headset cable soldered on and I wish my car was worth £30k but it's not. It is a CRX though so that's a win.

            • Instead of 100k maybe make it 40-60k on average. The car probably is right, and TVs are on the cheap these days. The six bedroom house might be a bit much.

                Its because people have good jobs.. They know how to save money and the rich stay rich because we evade taxes and have everything handed to us.. Yea I make 300,000 bucks a year (us dollars) and that just keeps piling up in my offshore bank account.. People know I'm rich so to get on my good side where ever I go they just give it to me thinking I'll remember them and give them money.. And also just because I have a Ferrari for everyday of the year doesn't mean I'm just gonna [i]let[/i] you drive one.. So what if I only drive one for one day that's my damn car and it will sit in my underground garage as long as I want to keep it there.. If its on the internet don't believe it.. Most people are rich on the internet because they [i]can[/i] be rich on the internet.. No one knows for sure if its a lie or not.. But don't take it from me I'm just a rich guy that just so happens to use gold to wipe with.. You should see my septic tank lol.. Anyway for everyone that comments on this post I will give you $50,000.. And the OP will get 2% of each one.. Let's make this dude rich like all the rest of us.. [spoiler]I'm just kidding I didn't get rich by giving handouts[/spoiler] [spoiler]but I stay rich because of handouts [/spoiler] [spoiler]and tax evasion[/spoiler] [spoiler]-blam!- you IRS[/spoiler]
