[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I think bothers some people here is that it doesn’t fit their narrative that a couple whom see themselves  in aren’t as rich as they ‘should be.’  Surely this man could have obtained more than  your combined 350k pay or whatever, or your husband’s pay at a second tier law firm.  The Judge chose  to have intellectually challengeing jobs that will place him in the history books.  By contrast, you will toil  away in obscurity, worrying about things like OBX decals and what they mean.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone is critizing his career choice.  The issues are his stupid financial decisions to live beyond his means and the question of who paid off the debt he was carrying for years.  We expect more from a Supreme Court nominee.  [/quote]

No, the issue is you are an idiot and won't acknowledge that he as of 2006, at age 41, he was appointed to a golden parachute retirement. [b]He knew that even if he simply maintained the status quo, he could spend what he wanted[/b] because his retirement was in the bag. He didn't even need the TSP. That's a bonus and perfectly reasonable to borrow from in his enviable position of financial security.

Why would he save more and be a penny pincher? Is this virtuous to you? Hoarding money you dont need?  Did he run up debt he couldn't pay back? Nope. Did he have to go on welfare to feed himself? Nope. Did he use the public school system? Nope. Did he pay his taxes? Yes. What makes you think he lives beyond his means? We are reading the same article, correct? It says he paid off all his revolving debt. Do you have insider information that this debt is in collections?[/quote]

Starting in 2006, he was on a fixed income and he lived beyond it.  He's still on a fixed income.  Let's see if he can live within his means.  He hasn't shown that yet.  [/quote]

This exactly.  His HHI is $300K+ now and they're spending well beyond it.  How is he going to survive on a $250K fixed pension?   He has proven that he can't live within his means.
