Ah! I love this one! Several (Many? Some? A Few?) years ago, a very close friend asked the question, in a prelude to one of our high school reunions, "How much do you make?" This was one of many questions, but I thought it invasive. Not that I give a good rodent's posterior chunk of anatomy about this, but I thought it an inappropriate invasion into my way of living. My response was that "It is much more important to query "How much do you keep, and how much do you need"!" . Anyway, we are well. We shall continue to be so. Those of you who think you need help from we who actually work - get a life! Those of you who actually need help - I'm here to help! Really! Pretty much been there, done that! If you really need help, stop by. If you are thinking of screwing me over, keep truckin'. Better to be poor than dead! Brad, the cool, compassionate, no bull conservative! And, of course, a real pussy-cat!!

My answer to that question was "I make enough that all I own is paid for". It never occured to this fool that my tastes and requirements in this world preclude being in debt. And I'm an x banker of 23 years, hehe. I know all their dirty little secrets.
