Much better than most.


"Most" made poor choices in high school, poor choices after high school, and poor choices the rest of their life. That's why it's better than "most".

Think about the average American. Statistically, half of the population is dumber, lazier, and less ambitious than that person.

For 71 years old a net worth of $1.4 million is kind of sad.

Considering the opportunity he had to be like Pelosi, Schumer, McTurtle, MTG and the rest of the rot, I'd say it's actually pretty awesome.

People aren't supposed to go into a $200K/year job and amass tens of millions of dollars in wealth. It's actually a testament to the fact that Graham was less corrupt than almost all of them, which is quite the compliment as opposed to sad...

He was a single guy with no kids who literally lived for the job he did. That much has become apparent.

He had virtually everything paid for as a congressman. Everything was free and some of the best healthcare in the country. He just didn’t care to exercise or take care of himself obviously. 1.4 million in South Carolina is a lot of money when you don’t need any money.

Lindsey had a good life. He was not hurting in any way financially.

A person who retires with only $1 million in net worth can't even maintain their current standard of living for the rest of their life.

After 10 years in retirement that person will have half that amount remaining.

And that's IF they don't have a catastrophic injury or disease to drain even more of their nest egg.

I don't suspect Lindsey ever had any intentions of retiring.

I agree.

But I was addressing the other poster's example of Joe the Plumber.

If Joe only has a net worth of $1 million with at least 1/3 of his worth tied up in his non-liquid & non-income producing residence, he'd better not live more than 10-12 years after retirement.

If he does he might become one of those Walmart greeters we all feel sorry for working to make ends meet in his retirement.

Now do his offshore accounts....
Oh wait, you can't!!!! The entire offshore banking industry isn't subject to any regulations. That's the whole reason the London banks set up the offshore banking system.

He could have made a lot more money in the private sector. Politics aside I always appreciated Grahams calmness and sense of humor. Seemed like a guy you could sit down and have a beer with.
