Not at all. The topic is money made. That is independent of expenditures. We could go down the road of retained money (i.e. net income), but then clearly money made is no longer relevant. The guy who made $20,000 and spent $10,000 of it is the one who retained good money, not the guy who made $1,000,000 and spent $999,999.

right, and someone living paycheck to paycheck in NYC is somehow richer than someone living in a LCOL area with more buying power. There's a reason why discussions of salary have to happen around the area the salary is made in.

  Again, the topic is money made. x made is x made. One may need to spend more x to live in a certain location, sure, but that's a completely different topic. One where the money made is not relevant, for reasons already stated. As we are talking about money made, you know we are not talking about that.

    this is clearly false. 10k USD/year is "good money" for many people in other countries but no one would ever describe that as "good money" for someone living IN the US. and yet, the poster YOU chose to respond to said this: > I'm almost 40, never made good money... this makes me sad

      > the poster YOU chose to respond to said this: Yes, as you can clearly see, he added the operative word "made". A word you conveniently left out from your message in your ongoing quest to change the subject. Had you included it like in the original comment, it would completely change your message.

        I have to conclude you're either under the influence of a mind altering substance or trolling. either way I'm done with this conversation. Come back to this when you're sober and read my post more closely.

        Interesting that this has turned to be about me and not the content in play. Logically, they are independent of each other. While I am not sure what you think you can be done with given that you have not yet joined the conversation that we were having before you arrived, no amount of drug use is going to give me interest in your off-topic tangent. I get it. You misunderstood what was written earlier and now you are grasping at logical errors in order to avoid having to come back now and ask questions for clarification to save your pride. But, why are you letting your emotions drive you like that? Who cares if you made a mistake? I certainly don't. I don't care about you at all.

        So troll then. For anyone reading this, you can clearly see where the word 'made' is in the quote given, yet this person decided to claim I left it out on purpose. The implication being that I cherry-picked a quote when I quoted the _entirety_ of the post in question.

        You included the post, but failed to speak to it, instead forcing your off-topic direction in the rest of the comment. If it is me who misunderstands you, go on. You have already been given the floor for quite some time to explain yourself and reason for interjecting in a rational manner instead of spouting nonsensical logical errors, but I'm generous enough to give you another chance. If I, in wintery Canada, made what is considered by most to be a good car and then put it on a boat to ship it to the hot African desert, does it magically become a bad car? The car hasn't changed. It is still the exact same car.
