Let me think this through again...  I can have a blast from now 'till i'm 65, at which point i will have enough money saved up to live out the rest of my life in the luxury i've grown so accustomed to likely have to keep working, because whatever leftovers I scrounged up will run out after only ten years, and I'll spend whatever is left of my life stressing out over every little issue that might cost me a bit too much, knowing that any medical emergency will make me go broke, with my sad lonely self dying in an abusive, government provided elderly care home, or...

I can scrimp & scrounge until i'm 65, and have a heart attack when some gold-diggin' vixen plants herself on my withered 50, or even 45, and live out the rest of my life in luxury, going to exotic places, enjoying exotic foods and people, and living way into very old age thanks to having little to no stress in my life, and plenty of medical coverage should I need it...
Rassah, thanks for the heads-up Cheesy

I see you still don't get it, so I FIFY. Besides, you wanted to know what rich people were like. Or, more specifically, you were misrepresenting what rich people were like. And it seems it's impossible to win with you: Either you are an asshole because you are rich and greedy, and are keeping all your money so you can retire safely, or you're an asshole because you give up all your wealth, and end up dependent on the state.

Oh, also, I forgot, did you say that you will give up at least half of your wealth when you are 65 because you will be wealthy? (You said you will be able to live out your life in the luxury you are accustomed to, which would mean you have over a million dollars at that point) Or will you be a self-hating rich hypocrite?
