are you saying rich or poor

it is nice to have money.

Poor, He Ain't...

This raises an interesting topic for socioeconomic study: Can a person's net worth be approximated by the value of his toys? Or, how much disposable income does the "average", "higly successful" individual allow for such expensive toys? Ten Percent? Five percent? Less? More?

The percentage of disposable income would vary according to the invidual, but maybe there would be some patterns. If someone has about $2 mil tied up in exotic collectibles, does that make him worth about, what, $20 mil? $50 mil? $100mil? A blind survey sure would be interesting.

Re: Poor, He Ain't...

Rich is one hell of a nice guy. I guess that he subscribes to the theory that most of us do" He who dies with the most toys wins. Difference between him and most of the rest of us is cubic money.
