Brad are you still looking for people in Vancouver?

and just as soon as you get the ultimate toy you realize there's one twice as nice and 3X the money that you just HAVE to HAVE.....

I figure you need about 10 million net worth to be feeling rich.

When you only have a million, your just worried about losing your million :)

not much property, house, cottage, and a gravil pit.

mostly funds, rrsps, and leaveraged investment funds....

Yes I am. Please email me brad@ shaw investments.com

Being "rich" is relative to the company you keep. Hang out with a bunch of TGP kids, you may be rich. Hang out with the inner circle of the biz, you may be poor.

For a while $10 big ones was feeling rich. But I think that's at least doubled. Most guys I know in the 10 range aren't living very big.

And $10mil in Florida is one thing. $10mil in Dallas is BIG ballin.

ugh, i don't want to hear that ;)

stock, i'll try emailing you later, about to go out...

Thanks :thumbsup

:glugglug 50 Millonaires?

Aren't the Oil guys rolling in dough again with oil at $30 a barrel?

I used to buy and sell oil properties and dealt with a lot of folks from Houston, Midland, and man those folks had some serious $ rolling in from their royalties.

that'll double again once you hit 20.

"It's NEVER enough."


I've come to realize in my own life that it's not the having but the getting that's the fun.

i know one guy who comes on this board every once in a while who's income makes everyone else's here look like chicken feed..seriously. He has maybe 100 posts...maybe that has something to do with it actually..everyone here sends him money in one way or another

Any OIL is in old money families on the other side of town.

I grew up, live , and work in new $ area that has been killed by people losing ass in tech firm jobs.

Overall the economy in Dallas is hurting. It was tied into tech firms a lot more than I ever realized.

You were just sitting there waiting for that one huh.:thumbsup

Pics? :1orglaugh

I think I know who you're referring to.

one thing is there will always be someone with more than you. So the trick is to figure out how to be happy no matter how much wealth you have.. I am more envious of truely happy people than I am with ultra rich people. Also I have learned over the years that a lot of people spend a lot of money to look really rich and they really dont have shit and are leveraged to fuck and dont save or plan for the future its all about the look good. you would be surprised at teh Industry players who really dont have shit or dont have anywhere near the klinda money you think they do and on the flip side you would be surprised at the people who do have crazy stacks a money in the bank. Usually those who talk the most about it have less than they say.

$ can not buy love, but it sure can open doors.

Oh, $ can buy love alright, but not honest love. I found that out the hard way unfortunately.

dont get me wrong I am a greedy whore who loves money above most all else.. thats why I envy people who are hapy right where they are at any moment I am stuck in the land of this next thing will fix it I gotta get this next thing whatever that is I know it wont but I always hope it will LOL

Living in California has a lot to do with that Lars. I lived there for 16 years and no matter how much you made there were so many more making you look like squat. Of all the places I've been to LA is more into the who has more thing than anywhere else. One of the nice things about living back East is money is way more quieter here and people don't flaunt it so much like out your way.

$ is over-rated. Send it to me.

:thumbsup

yeah no shit an entry level 600 sq ft home in santa cruz is now 450-500 K there is no homes under 400k in the whole city

a decent middle class home is 1-2 mil here and its not even a crib.

wqas watching a funny thing about money and it basically said tv and mtv and lifestyles of rich and famous has skewed our perception of what rich is. many people are rich but dont think so when compared to the hilton sisters or otehr ultra rich type people like the new show rich girls

power shopping

I have a friend with cash liquidity alone easily over $2 mil and she constantly says "I can't believe how broke I am".

Its all relative.

I'm rich, I have a wife, 2 awesome kids, and a steady income.. what more does a person need? :)

yup I was watching a show and saw that richard bransom owns this kick ass island and he charges 36k A day to stay there and it is booked solid for a year.. he is making piles of cash off of that. I wanna own a resort Island with kick ass surf and massages on the sand. the show was like an how long nothing else on teh show made me jealous but that. it was a new robin leach show

here here I say
friends and family count for a lot

happyness is EVERYTHING.
envy can kill you.
Be happy for other people's sucess as well as your own - i believe that's the true meaning of life.


i spend 7 years as a financial broker. it's unreal how true it is that the ones that show it don't have shit compared to the ones that don't show it.


the richest guys are often the ones you'd never suspect .... and they're almost always quite humble and nice. It's the rude ones that usually don't have shit.

well said sleazy :)

Friends I don't have, who the hell needs them?

i got 7 figures USD.. sure doesn't feel like shit compared to what it was a couple years back due to the pesofication of the dollar.

I'd be interested in this one, also.

I earn $2.50 a month, that's if I've been a good boy and Eva decides to pays me. :1orglaugh

Why do some people want to rub it in others faces how much money they have? I'm arrogant and admit to it, but about what I've achieved not what I've earnt. :(

Looking for a 50% partner on the purchase of a SunSeeker Predator 56. I figured the millionaire thread would be the appropriate place to post this.

Damn KRL, how much money DO you have? :winkwink:

Krl how do you make money?

Buy smaller houses closer to the average house price in your area and hire (or start) a property management company?
