Much of the discussion here is in the realm of arguing about “how many angels can dance on a head of a pin?”
As long as you invest the extra, hard to see where you can go wrong.
It doesn't have to be an embarrassment. Use the excess in a way that aligns with your values. There are plenty of worthwhile charities. Support labor by spending some. As my liberal leaning son likes to say, the best thing you can do with your money is spend it. You are helping people by supportibg the economy.Originally Posted by DeltaboundRedux
This entire thread needs to be renamed “An Embarrassment of Riches”Only 7% of Americans earn more than $250k a year.

Your 7% above $250,000 might be a household. Looking at 300k (the closest I could find to the MBCBP threshold) it looks like 2.3% of individuals exceed the mark. It's an even more exclusive club debating the pinhead angel dancers.
We are a group who respects competance and measures performance on a daily basis. It is only natural that we gravitate toward measuring investment performance and tax optimization.
It doesn't show on APC, but I suspect the majority of us are grateful for having rich people problems.
