Winners only.

I read it just fine. You only consider it success if your fun money left over each month is equal to your monthly nut.
But with 64% of us living paycheck- to-paycheck, success is simply HAVING fun money after the monthly nut. Same for business. Net profit is success. Hell, breakeven can be success.

Apparently you can't read it just fine. I said EXCEEDS what is spent on bills.

Break this scenario down Mr. Math Man:

You make $1,000 a month after taxes. You spend $750 a month on all bills. You are profiting $250 a month. You see this as success correct?

So work 40 hours a week, 4 weeks a month for $250? Success?

I just want to make sure I am following your thoughts on this.

Here is what my scenario looks like and I will use the same dollar amounts for simplicity:

I make $1,000 a month after taxes. I spend $250 a month on all bills. I profit $750 a month.

My ratio is above 50% profit. I would not only call that success but also winning. So when you try to talk shit to me about making money, mooching off the government, retiring, understand that I have had this worked out for decades. I know that I don't need a $300,000+ home when a $60,000 home will do the same thing. I don't need a 2022 car when a used car will do the same thing. I know how to not live beyond my means. All that shit you will still owe money on when you die is wasted money. You can't take it with you and someone else may have to tow your debt.

OK. So a PENNY more means "exceeds". So you only consider it success if the money left over is at least one PENNY more than the monthly nut. Happy?

If you are able to pay your bills and have leftover money, then yes, you are succeeding in America. You are ahead of the 64% who are living paycheck to paycheck and have no fun money to show for their efforts.
So work 40 hours a week, 4 weeks a month for $250? Success?
See above.

But I find it interesting that you decry a $300K home when a $60k home "will do". What if the person with the $300K home and the 2022 car is doing better than the 50% profit you describe? Are they wasteful and wrong to do so, even though they are "more successful" than you base don their net profit?
And why would you assume everyone carries debt into their death?

I'm as broke as it gets, but I own everything. Sometimes having actual money is the illusion of success.

Truth.
And plenty of people making good money but also leveraged to the hilt and beyond. No security if the income stream ends.

Your first question on the 1 penny more. Yes, in my opinion.

Your analogy of my thoughts on a $300,000 home vs. a $60,000 home. I said "will do the same thing". The context changes when you misquote what was said. If you are a couple and share the same sleeping quarters, why worry about more rooms, more space, more debt? The lesser home does the exact same thing with less debt. It gives you shelter.

Your second question which is open ended so lets continue to #3

#3. Yes, in my opinion that is wasteful. Which is why I personally don't do that.

Last question... Perhaps you read too fast? Possibly? Well let's get into that question. I don't assume and never did assume that everyone carries debt into their death. Do you know what the phrase "may have to" means? I know... a phrase like that is not definitive and dwells in the grey area that you liberals fear or don't believe in. It's a phrase that depends on other circumstances to get a definitive answer. Scary stuff. Can't verify a "maybe" with facts and damn sure can't prove it wrong. It's like witchcraft!!!

hahaha, was this written by a third grader?
"Obsolence"? "Tongunue-in-cheek"?

Regardless, I love the idea that the Institute for Human Obsolescence creates a suit that needs a human to generate the power. That's just funny. Jumbo shrimp.

So Biden was supposed to speak at 10:45am. Apparently he had to take a shit or have someone change his adult diaper cause he was late. Now he is reading a prompter and is already fumbling along.
