    I made enough last year such that due to a bit too much honesty on a mandatory questionnaire I sent back to my business insurance company I just received a bill for $960 in unpaid premium.

    Quite possibly the least useful post to this thread thus far. Did someone pee in your cherrios this morning? Turn that frown upside down lil fella!image >>



    Don't worry. The year is young. Many more dumbest threads to follow for the years dumbest thread award. image

    Gecko lets play fair my man.. This is way off topic for the coin forum.

    I know you mean well, but I recall over 23 hits on my threads stating they were off topic.image

    Isn't income after taxes a better measure, especially after the increases in taxes that are coming? image

    But then we would need negative dollar categories for the folks who will be driven bankrupt by those taxes.

    I don't understand the ultra sensitivity to an anonymous poll. Especially given that we all post pics of coins we buy. I refuse to click an anonymous button that reflects my income in a general manner, but I will post a picture of my PR66 Stella?

    Come on.

    Just to show how irrelevant this poll can be - I spent more on coins last year than I grossed and after my IRS 1040 deductions and credits had negative income for the year. The stock market giveth and it taketh away.

    From doing the coin thing for a while I have learned that there is not a pronounced correlation between the amount of monetary income and one's spending habits. Many people who make a lot of money can be absolute tightwads while others with lower income levels will spend lavishly on their collection.

    Forum member Clarkbar was quick to bash my thread/poll. With over 300 votes and counting, it seems that he was in the minority with his opinion. But then again, Mr. Clarkbar likes to follow me around and bash me openly in threads.image

    That was my actual rent on the NW side of Chicago from 1999-2004. My landlord then raised it to $500/month until I left in August of '06.

    That reinforces what I say about COL here in southern Illinois. A brand new apartment with 2 br, 2 bath around here runs about $600/mo

    3Below median if you don't count coin show
    income , which isn't taxable anyway , due to
    market downturn and terrible losses .
    4 Why is your car parked 2-3 times a month at
    1111 Constitution Ave NW in DC , which is
    IRS headquarters ?
    5 Wow , just caught a virus and my drive and
    ISP address are disintegrating .!

    About XX times what I spend on coins each year.
