• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Do you think this is right?

Well Mike just a couple of calculations and we have $500K = 12 months 'Good Living', or perhaps enough for a new Lexus GT V10 or maybe a new Porsche GT3 and some petrol money.

It doesn't say much for her integrity, but on the other hand that is what is wrong with this country.. A lot of people think they have some sort of entitlement to Welfare and it ruins it for the people that really need it. Just makes a mockery out of the Welfare system and bankrupts the government and affects other programs like medicare and social security and people like her do not care.

for me, the 500K would pay off my mortage, put college money away for my two daughters, and still leave me with about 350K still in the bank, so I'd call myself well off, alternately my wife and I could take 9 years off from work without breaking a sweat, so I would call it living "good", so I guess it's your personal viewpoint
 
GIve me 500 grand and ask me if I'm struggling. I would answer...Not any more. I'd put that half million in a secure savings account or a lock box or some such...and "pay" myself $20 thousand a year for the next 25 years. At that time, I'd be 68 years old and ready for the nursing home.

Not only personal viewpoint but also personal circumstances, we have no kids, owe no money and work our own hours .......and my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek.
