Looking back a few months ago where I could'nt afford to wash my clothes, and was rackin up tabs at all the local deli's just to eat...

It feels good to walk into BMW, say "I want this, this, and that", then go home and get the call that your new set of wheels will be ready for pick up in a day. I just bought two rings for my girl, one for now, and the other for when she says I do, which will hopefully be tommorow night. I put a down-payment on a great house,and boy-o-boy does it feel nice.

So for all you guys who think things cant get better...they can and one day you just might be able to say....

Welcome to the good life!

 

Did you win the lottery?

 

Haha not that good, just a great oppurtunity came my way about two months ago, and its great, I love the flying , the guys I work with, the trips...just great!

 

big tough guy, sounds like you'll be right back to brokej/k...............besides real men don't buy BMW's they buy Porsche GT3's..............Congrats though, and good-luck tomorrow night

Couldn't help it :P

 

haha me and a friend of mine got in that same argument about beamers and porsches the other day. and i finally gave in and said that you'd still be a man if you bought either a 7 or M series... other than that, porsche > bmw.

you make that money flying? haha wow where do i sign up?

 

Must be one damn good payin job

Make the most of it

 

Glad you're in the money, but save most of it. Pilots are apt to hit lean periods quite a bit. They say John Wayne drove a used Pontiac... simple living and high ideals.

There was a public discussion some years ago about how to tax those who work in certain glamour jobs that get high earnings for a time then a few years later end up back to square one. Sports figures, actors, musicians were on the list. These groups tend to get rich overnight when they do, rarely know how to handle the uptick in spendable money and in most cases are busted in a few years. The law was supposed to average out their earnings over a lifetime rather than bump them up to the high tax bracket for the few years they rake it in. I thought it was a nice idea and these groups should not be taxed the same way as those who climb gradually up an earnings ladder; more like the lifetime payout option for a lottery winner.

 

Thanks for that Cubdriver....but the thing is I'm actually spending within my means, but still good to know!
