$350,000 per year? I estimated that would I still have my job it would take about 25 years from me to earn that amount of money.

Come on guys, this chump is obviously having a tough time. Maybe we could take up a little collection for him. If we each chipped in say ten grand we could get him through this rough spell. Hate to see his kids have to leave private school.

Only 20 years for me, and in that time he'll have earnt only $7m

Surely time to pull in a favour.

Those school fees - $32,000 is only for one child.

These guys need to get some serious perspective on life.

And BossMark - maybe a couple of the choice words began and ended with F, but there's a whole range of other letters swiftly following too.

he wants to live beyond his means. a common problem, but only really deserving of sympathy when the means don't extend to the basics needed for life itself

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

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.
