ParticipantAhhh Volcker… there was a Fed Chairman… balls of steel… didn’t give a rat’s ass what others thought of him. Just did the right thing. We’ll never see someone like him again at the helm of the Fed. It’s too political now and there’s no going back. We’re left with spineless sycophants. Precisely what we deserve. Plan accordingly.

ParticipantIndeed. I had a vasectomy a few years ago (and I’m still pretty young). I’ve known for a long time that neither I nor anyone else would want to deal with any little davelj’s running around. It’s a recipe for unrest. My little gift to the Earthlings.

Participantrich (adjective)
1. having wealth or great possessions; abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds; wealthy.The one single thing of which I can be certain about someone who can comfortably afford to make a mortgage payment on a multi-million dollar home – as we must surmise raptor can – is that this person is RICH. Now, admittedly, “rich” is a relative term. Raptor ain’t rich compared to Bill Gates, as he points out. But he’s still rich. If you’re in the top one percent of income earners in the United States – as raptor must be, by definition, in order to afford a multi-million dollar home – then you’re rich. Considering that half the world lives on less than $2 a day, I’d say a pretty good portion of the US citizenry is rich in comparison on a global scale. But even here in the rich US, if you’re earning a few hundred thousand dollars a year, you’re rich. Plain and simple. And nothing to be ashamed of about it either.
Although it does beg a question, raptor. I’ve been assuming all along that you had at least $5 million in liquidity, otherwise you wouldn’t be looking to purchase a home in the $3-$4 million range (I think that’s your range, I can’t recall – correct me if I’m wrong). But your previous post suggests that you don’t have much liquidity, which surprises me. Given that you’re a “working man” and have (by definition) considerable expenses related to your “extended family,” would it not be a better idea to perhaps buy something a bit more “affordable” (I use that term in its most elastic sense), say in the $1.5 million or less range? To each their own, but I would think your life would be a lot less stressful if you didn’t have to worry about making such a huge mortgage payment on a working man’s wage (and I’m assuming that wage is at least north of $300K). But, obviously, you know your situation a few thousand times better than I do. I find it a bit curious, that’s all.

ParticipantFirst of all, I’ve never heard Tom Leykis before (is he on the radio here in San Diego?), so I can’t say I’m a fan, but I have heard OF him. (Although, in fairness, I can’t say I’m not a fan either. I don’t have enough information to have an opinion.) But I do find his definition of “vaginamoney” quite humorous. I found it on the internet.
“No decent woman would have me?” God willing! But you may very well be right regarding my paradox, Marion. At least I hope so. I would hate to accidentally cavort with any “decent” women.
