Another sad story: "Some Wall Streeters facing tough times on just $350,000 a year"

10. Man you must get up late!

I saw this story at least twice this morning and spent about an hour composing a response. I've lived on as little as $10k a year and as much as $400K a year. My view from that perspective is that making more money has a tendency to shift your view of the world. During the period I had that high income, I was still just a working stiff getting a modest but fair wage.
My ex was the one making the big bucks and I saw the change in her within a year. All of a sudden, she became a nasty self-entitled bitch.
She was the most loving and giving person I ever knew but once she started getting the big bucks, it was like screw the rest of the world.
