Quoted from PinJim:Define out of debt? Literally no mortgage, car payments or credit card debt? How old are you?
Someone in my office has a saying tacked to a cork board: “rich people get rich by acting like they are poor, and people people stay poor by acting like they are rich”. I firmly believe that and have seen both sides of the coin. Probably have lived both sides. I’m middle aged now and live humbly, all things considered...
"people people"?
Quoted from konjurer:I worry about the people that make $40K and have a collection of NIB games.
Would your thinking "allow" one or two NIB pins to someone who makes $40K?
What is the quantity level vs. income that you feel is ok/you wouldn't worry aboot someone anymore?
At what income level would you "approve" of someone having a collection of NIB pins?
Does this income level apply to anywhere in the USA or the Cedar Rapids area only?
Do/did you work for Rockwell Collins by chance (Now known as United Technologies Collins Aerospace)?
Quoted from konjurer:Pretty snarky response... Did I cut to close to home? I worry because I know people that do this... Actually most of Americans haven't self funded their retirement and have no emergency fund. In my opinion, that's a problem if you're out buying pinball machines, expensive vacations or bass boats. It sucks to see friends having to work shitty jobs to make ends meet when they should be thinking about retirement. Additionally, it places an unfair financial burden on those who saved while others blow their through their income.
Not snarky, just asked for additional data since you worry about others.
How does this place an unfair burden on those who saved?
Can you answer any of my previous questions?
Your statements only hit close to home as they resembe the general mindset of several Rockwell Collins employees. I have experience there and enjoy a nice monthly pension check from the company. Now United Technologies.

Quoted from Buzz:I think the number one thing I'm seeing here is that people work their ass off to afford their pins. I see lots of overtime, side jobs, pin repairs and flipping. College no college this seems to be true of all stories. Funny fact an In & Out burger manager makes 160k a year. Work hard, play hard, and try to enjoy your life.
To be fair, the In-N-Out managers have to graduate from University to attain that salary level. I believe the salary is somewhat lower at their Nevada, Utah and Texas restaurants. Not sure aboot Colorado.

Quoted from russdx:can you teach me how to create this luck and I will head down to the nearest casino
blackjack will always take its percentage in the end
Easy; get licensed in your Jurisdiction and build, staff and operate a casino. Head down and count your money.
It's not luck, it's statistics.....
