OMG NO WAY!! HE MAKES $100,000 A YEAR?! HE IS THE MAN! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

If he spends $3,000 a weekend and makes $100,000 a year, he's either lying or a retard. I'll go with both.

I stepped up my contributions to my 401k since my money goes a little further now.

Other than that, it doesn't affect me much. I had set a home purchase goal 5 years from now.

I guess when it comes down to it, I am benefiting from it currently.

401 is down 40k... I'll have plenty of time to build it up again. Other than that, life is good.
