Alright you dumb shite.

A guy gets 20 million dollars. he finds it on the ground.

He doesn't put it in the bank. 10 years later he has not invested any of it.. He has spent it little by little and has 18 million left.

But he hasn't brought any new money in. His income is $0 per year. It's been $0 per year since he saw the money.

Yet he's still high class. Even though he has no income.

Hmmmmm....

Are the people with no income, who are still considered High Class?


I assume you're talking about inheritance

That's still some form of income

If you have 0 dollars you're obviously not high class. If you inherited 10 million dollars you're high class

BUT if you make 700K, with or without inheritance you're high class so long as you can sustain that income consistently.

I am trying to figure out is Powerman is Michael Spinks or Trevor Burbick (against Mike Tyson). This is brutal. I just hope he doesn't go back and edit all his posts.

This is truly pownage on a biblical scale.

oh wait. so now you're adding yet another factor into the mix. DURATION. 700k a year for a certain period of years. That sounds like "sustaining wealth"

Hmmmmm....

You're a fricking moron. why can't you just admit that you've been wrong.

no shite you stupid frick. But in the scenario I provided, 10 years later he doesn't have an income.

That was 10 years ago. For the next 10 years he makes $0 a year. If you ask him how much money he makes, he has to say "I make $0 a year"

You don't even have to invest "properly"

So long as you don't do it in an extremely terrible fashion 700K will make you rich

when someone says 700k per year, there is an assumption that there is some duration

If someone makes 700K one year and quits working I suppose you'd have a point. But who the frick in their right mind would do that?

so high enough INCOME vs EXPENSES, for a long enough DURATION. Those weren't the words you wer using...

HMMMMMM... And guess, what, that still would only make you "rich".

NO. You idiot. this is logic. There are no assumptions. You don't get any "implied". You're defining factors.

You're a fricking idiot.

This shite should be implied

Even Bill Gates could be a low class bum if he spent his money foolishly enough

But for 99.99% of the population 700k per year will make you a rich person. You'd have to be a complete idiot to frick up that kind of income.

the funny thing is that I'm explaining your factors far better than you are.

And you're still way off. Because you still haven't answered my $0 income for 10 years question.

Hmmmmm....

Is that pre-tax income? After taxes and expenses, IF you are living a 700k lifestyle, trust me. You'd damn well better invest wisely


Let's say it's gross

Net income would still be about 30K a month

Even if you have a 12K house note that gives you 18K leftover a MONTH

Would you consider that to be "middle class"?

I sure as frick wouldn't

If you live in LA and make 700K a year and have decent spending habits you might be rich, but not necessarily upper class.


This is very true. You have to be born into upper class. There are guys who make an eighth of what I make and are members of clubs that I can't join. But, personally I'd rather be rich

That's because those people ARE idiots

Most of them take the lump sum and blow it all thinking they're Bill Gates and wind up with nothing

But if you're a working man and making 700K a year the probability that you'll be anything but rich is VERY VERY low.

This argument is absurd

No you stupid frick. nothing is implied. NOTHING. That's the whole point when you're trying to find a conclusive point.

And guess what, still? The funny thing is you're losing the 700k= rich battle so badly, and it started out that 700k=upper class. which was the original argument.

YOu lose.

Karma you're embarrassing yourself

You said that income is not the definitive factor in getting rich

Any way you slice it you can't get rich without a high income

You can still manage to not be rich with a high income but there is no conceivable way you can get rich without one.

Thus it IS the definitive factor in whether or not one can be rich. Please explain to me how to get rich without a high income.
