Adam, you have hit the nail on the head. One of the things I finally learned is "there is always someone better off than you, and always someone worse off than you".
You are truly wealthy....if your avatar reflects your life....you have a couple of cute kids, who, at least by the photo...love you and hug your neck.
That, my friend, is true wealth. And, if 20 years from now, they come home with their families, and hug your neck, you are wealthy beyond dreams.

stan Stan  I also might add that true wealth will be seen right after you leave this Earth. It is unimaginable!

Your witness.......... No. We do have a distant ocean view from the back yard past Santa Barbara airport and UCSB. However....
I never alleged you were rich, which is a slightly different classification than wealthy.
In light of the partial ownership of the Bonanza and the fact that you may have purchased your "distant ocean view" before the run up in real estate I will allow you to plead out to "comfortable."
I would take the offer, the jury is going to find the partial ocean view very damaging.

Thanks Stan. I know you are right in the greatest sense, and I feel lucky every day to have a great family. As anyone who has raised kids knows, the reality is not the idyllic avatar pic 100% of the time for sure. All I need to really complete the picture is to have your lineup of aircraft for a couple of years before owning them leads to financial ruin for me!

Adam, I believe you. But Yves doesnt'. He wants to see a picture of the lovely Mrs. Priest.  Seriously, my oldest daughter graduated and took a job in NYC. The youngest is a Junior at UC-Berkeley studying Chemical Engineering. We still get together several times a year. Great stuff. The youngest even wants to take flying lessons!

I work for that guy every day. He could afford to write a check for any biz jet made but instead he chooses to drive down to LA or Burbank and fly economy class on Southwest. This attitude may have something to do with how he got to where he is financially.

Yes, but at least it is a justified ending since you have been warned about your lack of faith and how unsafe singles are

Yep, just like global warming, but we know it is true because Al says so and that is better than anything else.
