Well you're certainly a candidate to develop an AWESOME coke habit. In the 80's we used to say that coke was a sign you had too much money.

I only ask because I have heard and seen on this board many times that it is a very expensive place to live.
Is this a joke?

Are you kidding me? If your smart and so far...I don't know...you would be smart to buy a modest home, pay it off and put the rest in the bank. People are just too complacent that everything including their salary will last forever. I would be saving like crazy for hard times, because no job is secure and tomorrow you could be living check to check just like everyone else if your not careful.

This post is really stupid...you make that kind of money and you ask this in an economy (especially this valley) where the job unemployment rate is at the highest.

LOL! I saw that too. This clown is trying to pick up women by conning them that he is rich, pretending to seek advice.

Jeez. Do we need another male jerk in society?
