[quote]Profit is an opinion. Cash is a fact.[/quote]Fair enough, but if there is a big growth in revenues and minimal change in operating cost, where did all of the operating cash go?

[quote]get a two button, 3 button was a 1990s mistake[/quote]Cool. That's the kind of stuff I need to know. I have a lot of strong points, but fashion isn't one of them.

Opinions on Brooks Brothers Suits

Posted by Sigma_ on 12/31/13 at 1:38 pm
I have an interview coming up, but I don't typically wear suits except to weddings and funerals. Does Brooks Brothers have good suits, and do they tailor them well? There is a location nearby, and I was thinking about getting a charcoal gray three-button suit. Any thoughts? I am not much of a...
Yeah, the income is good right now. But if I can keep it up for another 4-5 years my plan is to downsize the stress, commute, workload and of course income. The kids won't be young forever and I am itching to put my career on cruise control. Half of the income would be fine with me. ...

I guess I was thinking 400k if you wanted to send two kids to private school and save 100k per year. Without that 250k would be a very comfortable place to be in life. The question was about doing all of these nice things and not worrying about money. ...
