You are out of your mind. Or. Extraordinarily naive.

How am I out of my mind?

A billionaire buys/builds a $3M mansion on some island in the Caribbean. He lives there for a fews weeks a year.

You: Travel to the Caribbean for a few weeks. Stay at a motel. Cost: $3-5K.

Honestly, with $80K/yr and house/cars paid off, there is NOTHING a billionaire can do that you can't.

:eek: :D :D :D

You have no freakin' clue. And one doesn't need to be a billionnaire to notice.

Example #2:

You think a billionaire gets all the hot chicks? Maybe. But that's not the point.

What a billionaire gets his sex not necessarily love, which won't satisfy him.

Most people find love when they are just starting out (ie. when they are either broke or have little money).
 
Look mate, you enjoy your vacations in the Carribean for 5k a month and feel like a billionnaire. Each one puts his price tag to the top of the word and I guess it's cool when one settle for such a massive discount.

How about throwing $81K into the fireplace?

Great idea!

Example #3:

A billionaire throws $81K into the fireplace to keep him warm.

You: Buy a log. Cost: $10.



Absolutely nothing a billionaire can do that an $81Ker can't.

Billionaire: Worry about property taxes, paying the utility bills, maintenance, repair, etc. on his $3M mansion in the tropics.

You: Carefree $5K vacation in the tropics.

The difference? Priceless!

Billionaire: Worry about contracting HIV from his line of high class hookers. Doesn't want to get married for fear of losing his $.

You: Got a loving wife who gives you great sex.

The difference? Priceless!

Absolutely nothing a billionaire can do that you can't do better on a "middle class" investment income.

what do you mean.
How about buying their own jet.
There's millions of things that a billionaire can do that an 81ker cant.
However, if you're saying that most would be as content/happy with a 'well paid' job as they would with billions in the bank, then i'd probably agree...
