(9,494 posts)I have none and can lose everything tomorrow. Just as fast as you could. What is your point? That I am somehow rich because you live in a less expensive place? I live in one of the most expensive counties in America. It's where my business is. My business is in my home. Without my home I am unemployed. I cannot move. My mortgage is underwater. My expenses are more that the money coming in and so you may actually be living better than I am.
There are people living on the street. I am not comparing myself to them. I am, however, a little pissed that I have been working, paying taxes and insuring myself for forty years and my medical needs are not covered. Should I accept that because you are not in my situation?
I haven't been to a dentist in 4 years, I don't buy clothes at all and just repair my old cloths and I cut my own hair. Try living 5 mins outside NYC on four times your salary.
