Man says that he cant make ends meet earning $350,000 a year.

What a puke-inducing individual. Screw him. (and I would use a much stronger word if it were possible.)

Sailor Steve · 03-01-12, 10:54 AM

He spends more on his dogs than I make in a year. Poor baby!

Herr-Berbunch · 03-01-12, 11:22 AM

I'm sure we can chip in to get someone to walk you for $17 if that's your beef.

Sounds like this banker fell into the same trap alot of idiots do.

With a larger income, they end up buying larger "toys". Now if the guy maintained a modest living and not let his income go to his head, I may have some sympathy, but i'm willing to bet this guy is anything but modest in his lifestyle.

That's very piggish but still i wonder if anyone around this fourms would object to making all this money if having the right skills.

I don't begrudge him his salary. I object to his attitude. Don't confuse the two.

"Could you imagine what it's like to say I got three kids in private school, I have to think about pulling them out? How do you do that?"

He speaks as if private school is a necessity.

Quote:

Scheiner said he spends about $500 a month to park one of his two Audis in a garage and at least $7,500 a year each for memberships at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester and a gun club in upstate New York.

If he lives in the city, I can understand the parking. But gun and golf club memberships? He's kvetching about not having a dishwasher and struggling to keep his kids in the private school of his choice, but yet he still won't give up those clearly luxury expenses?

Quote:

Still, he sold two motorcycles he didn't use and called his Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet "the Volkswagen of supercars."

So we're up to three cars now. And a "supercar"? I'm supposed to feel bad for someone who doesn't see ownership of a supercar as a luxury? Piss on him. I have no sympathy for someone who can't live within their means, regardless if their means are $50,000 a year or $5 million.

You know, when you take out the expense resulting from my tuition and school materials, I live on approximately the same budget yearly as one of this guy's dogs...

Sadder still, I probably have more education than any of these guys

Stealhead · 03-01-12, 02:08 PM

I can honestly never really feel bad for a person that lives outside their means it dose not matter if they make over a million a year if you are living like that with no fore thought to possible money issues in the future you just failed to plan ahead.This guy was obviously trying to keep up appearances with "peers" that where earning a lot more money.

He could cut his spending down and still be able to live very well.

He sounds so like my youngest brother, what a prat.

Just a bloated fat pig.

Try living on what I get you piece of distended rectum.

soopaman2 · 03-02-12, 02:18 PM

And people wonder why the paycheck to paycheck living, working poor want to string up douchebags like this.

He should blame to poor for his woes like the rest of them do.

Can I guess his political affiliation?

gimpy117 · 03-04-12, 06:08 PM

really...is that article some kind of a joke? is Rand still alive and a reporter for yahoo? I really, really REALLY hope it's subtle sarcasm...

he makes $350,000 a year, by anybody other than the UBER rich's standards hes LOADED. I mean "couldn't fly to New Orleans for a wet tee shirt contest"? Boo F-ing hoo...some people have to choose between eating or staying warm, and this man sobs cuz he can't go on some luxury horndog south tour? If this was an article about some poor family who bought a cruise or a vacation and couldn't pay for it people would be calling them stupid, or say things like "well everybody has to make cuts". But were supposed to take the oppositte stand when some rich jerk can't spend more than many people's yearly incomes on his dogs? Where was their brain? 21 year old linda in the mail room had to take a pay cut to ohh lets say 20,000 a year instead of 25, or the guy who works in janitorial had to do the same...and they honestly they can just plan on being scott free? NOPE. Stupid rich people who whine when they need to cut back on their play money.

The rich are so disconnected with the plight of the poor or middle class that they almost sound like a badly written joke

That's the whole point.
Rich people have their own problems and its difficult for them to live just like any other average person after being on the top of food chain.
As long as they make their money legally and lose the money legally its their own business...i think.
Ok he shared...
He is a whiner just like some middle class or poor whiners but has different things to whine about.

That's capitalism right?
He makes lots of money and spends a lot...the more the better,making others happy.
