When you’re asking anyone anything of a personal nature, and you’re doing under the context of judgement, it most likely will not be received well. Especially if you’re prick.

It's almost as bad as asking you why you posted Brett Favre's dick on the golf board.


Yeah yeah yeah I got it, copy and paste error. Why were you looking at Brett Favre's dick pic like 8 years after it became news?

Wealthy people have CPA’s and getting a direct answer is Impossible. I know several people that are multi millionaires but their money is tied up in investments. So if you ask them what they make it might be $65,000 a year but they are extremely wealthy.

Seems like you were being an obnoxious a-hole for it to elevate to this.

Bingo. I don't want to know what other people make. I don't care. Its personal and none of anyone's business.

I'm not wealthy by any means, but I am a partner in a firm and I have no idea how much I make. I know what my tax return shows that I make, but it doesn't compute when I look at it.

btw.... I really hate materialistic people. The ones who acquire things to signal status and wealth. I just keep my trailer neat.

He probably doesn’t want to tell you what he makes because he doesn’t want you to ask him for money.

Dude. Let it go. At some point I copied Brett Favre’s duck as a fantasy football mascot pic and mistakenly pasted it on the golf board thinking I was pasting an unrelated gif. Some buddies make gay jokes with each other for fun and laughs. Sorry you can’t get over it. The fact that you’re holding this for years makes you seem really weird.

You were being passive aggressive about an issue that clearly struck a nerve in him.

For the people giving OP shite, why is it a bad thing for him to be concerned that his sister is living beyond her means? If I am doing things that are negative for myself and immediate family, I certainly hope my friends and family care enough about me to raise their concerns.
