[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people just piss away money, so no matter what they have, it's never enough. I'm not saying everyone, or even most, on this thread are guilty of that, but I think it's more commonplace than people admit.

For example, my boyfriend and I joined another couple (they're married) on a cruise on the QM2. BF and I each earn around $100,000' and we booked a very nice cabin with a balcony. My friend and her husband booked this duplex apartment type thing, and I couldn't believe it when I saw it. But they earn $400k (combined), so I figured they could afford it. They ate at the fancy rich people's grill and we had the dining room for steerage (I joke....it was very nice); so we didn't see them at meals.

That was last year. Just this winter, she was complaining to me that they couldn't afford to save any college money for 16-year-old daughter's tuition, and she'll just have to take loans.  Now, I have no idea how much that duplex cost, but my BF and I paid $4,400 for out cabin. I am sure hers was at least $15,000 - probably more. And now she is whining that $400,000 doesn't go that far. [/quote]

Good post.... Now trying being the family that can't even afford a cruise - and then hear someone like your friend complain.  Its hard to listen to![/quote]
Exactly! (I'm the one above with the cruise story.) And can you imagine hearing people, like the person up a couple of posts, who says they're "middle class" on nearly $2 million of income? I can't tell if they're serious or just trolling.[/quote]

Trolling, just like the majority of the multimillionaire posters here.[/quote]
What about the person who says the woman earning $100,000 almost qualifies for welfare? Was that a joke? I can't believe people really think that![/quote]
