Christmas shopping... done!

[Lady Reiha]

Still obsessed huh Gladys?

*Crawls on Nee-san's head*

You are a dude, right?

BTW- I shall tell you this now. For someone who likes the same authors I do, you can't spell Neil's last name right.

$43k is a lot of money.

Send me some.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

I'm guessing one of your overpriced models broke down?

Nope, I'm wanting something BIGGER this year. Plus I know more about A/V stuff to make a better home theater. So I'm gonna put it to the test.

Hi there. There is not a lot going in the stone-cold North.

Marry into my family or make obscene amounts of commish at my insurance office and I'll see about that.

Most definitely a dude, yes.

Heh, I didn't even notice the typo in my sig until now..

 

[Wok]

That's not counting the hybrid cars he and his wife bought for all of their employees last year as a bonus.

43k to LT is like pennies to you and the rest of us.

I would say so. Personally, I do not have any proof as to if this person has that kind of money or not, so I usually take peoples word for it until proven otherwise.

Funny enough, rich people may like posting too, but I have not seen any in real life, because I only know 1 rich person.

Sweet. Even if you were a girl, I'd still do you.

Is my family still safe?

Is my family still safe?

I do not know, because I do not live there. However, it will depend on where they stand politically. I mean if you are from a peasant family, downtrodden by the Imperialists of the Japanese occupation or the Fatherland Liberation War, your family should be doing just fine in one of the crappy flats in Pyongyang. Of course, they need to be a member of the Party, and have endless loyalty. Or at least, pretend really, really well.

They are your average joe smoes aka they have "money". But trust me, they aren't living it up with Kimmy Kim Kim.


But at least they are doing okay. You know, the NK in me worries about them. Maybe I can smuggle them over the border and into the sea.

China is the usual route, but no a little less dangerous than trying the sea or the DMZ. Some guy from the ROK defected over the DMZ a week or so ago to escape criminal charges. That took serious balls.

Yeah, but China's so boring though. :/

These guys made piss poor decisions in life and are at the point of needing handouts. Since they despise anything I say on Lit it therefore logically follows that I must be as bad off as they are.

Seriously. I'm not Donald Trump and I ain't one of those super rich living in Brentwood CA, and there's bigger insurance people down the road than even me. Hell there's a Farmers office that made a million a month (not sure if they still are) in the same city as me. And they're a captive market, unlike us (they can only sell Farmers/Bristol West/etc; we can sell Fireman's Fund, GEICO, First Comp, and a heaping ton of others).

What I am is a guy who knows people, is licensed, has more than one talent under his belt, and who married a woman with equal talents and a drive to make money. We made money. We watched the market and got holed up in a safe part of the economy while all hell broke loose. My wife had an insanely profitable staging business that, on sheer instinct, she phased out in favor of getting insurance licensed and signing her former clients on for policies. Home staging collapsed as an industry but she's still truckin'. I'm still blinded by the awesome.

And you know what, we hobnob with people who are even more awesome and richer than that.

What you have here, wok, are people who despise me because I made the right moves and they didn't, and now they desperately want to believe I'm not better off.

I knew that gasoline prices would spike to the moon, which was why I went EV and Hybrid. When gasoline prices tanked and people were saying hybrid cars weren't worth the cost I warned all of you that it wouldn't last, and lo and behold? It's back up at $3/gallon. Now there are Republicans driving Priuses.

I see the writing on the wall and act on it. That's how people get rich.

And yeah, I want to retire before 40 and play games, go on trips, post on message boards, and have fun. I hate golf, and there's nothing up on Mt. Everest for me to see. I just wanna have fun, and by God I got the quid to do it.

The giveaway is the constant bragging and calling everyone else "poor" in comparison (the above post is a classic example). A psych professional would call this "delusions of grandeur" and projecting one's own shortcomings onto those around him. Other examples include his refusal to believe that anyone else is married. He figures that since he lies about every facet of his personal life that everyone else must too.

Someone who actually makes the kind of money Le Liarlope claims to doesn't feel the need to brag about it on an Internet forum where nobody gives a fuck. The fact that he absolutely must try to paint everyone else as downtrodden welfare recipients in comparison to himself speaks volumes, none of it flattering.

He reminds me of a guy I knew in the Army. It didn't matter what story you came up with. no matter how outrageous it was, he had done it, or knew someone who had, but just that much more outrageous. We actually had running bets on how far we could push the fucker with insane stories. He always, always, had to one-up everyone. Le Liarlope is no different.. "benefit of the doubt" does not apply to him, there is more than enough information out there to make a determination about his ability and willingness to flat make shit up.

It's the Internet... Where everyone is fabulously wealthy, has a smokin hot spouse / Significant Other and holds multiple black belts. He is the epitome of the lying internet braggart and e-badass.

Hi. My name is Reiha. I'm 20 years old, blond hair, blue eyes and I look like a clone of Meghan Fox. My boobs are a natural 38DDD. I also have more money than Britney.

Just as long as you don't think like Meghan Fox.

Nope!

I also wear a Baroness costume!

Since it is the Internet, it is impossible to gauge the reality of one's life, and understand the level of skepticism when somebody does discuss how well-off they are, how hot the spouse is, posting a picture people question, how big a cock is, and the list goes on and on.

On a personal level, I usually give people the benefit if the doubt until it is proven otherwise. Even if the claims are not true, and does not affect me, I do not worry.

I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like to have a lot of money, but money does not make me the happiest person in the world. As long as I can pay my bills, put food on the table, and try to live from moment to moment, I am fine. I am in the vast majority of people not in the rich column. I do not have any envy for people that do have money, because they are people like me too. I just happen to know only one. However, that rich person never told me he was rich because he still drives around in a ten year old car and does his own haircuts. I guess the miserly ways is what made him well off in the first place; I do not know, because I do not ask.

Miserly ways were a constraint for me, for instance I hated driving beaters. And I will splurge on family members because I can, for once, play Santa for real.

But most of my money is spent on acting on my beliefs. Charity for the troops, local donations, lowering my household's carbon footprint, all that jazz, it's cool, it's a hobby.

Do you have your own business? Have you thought of it? You seem to know a fair amount, moreso than most here. Matter of fact, you're one of the "12" I keep alluding to around here: you, Funkenstein, Perg, Rosco, Trouvere, and some others. I'd have bet that you put your knowledge to profitable use. You should try starting your own business.

The closest I came to my own business was making backends for web sites. That was not a money maker by any sense.

Did you try a website of nothing but backends?

I think it's crazy, but some people will pay to see an ass they have never seen before.
