+1 bonus point for using Oh Delta correctly.

-1 point for not using a Roman numeral.

Careful. From the average American‘s point of view, every single Delta pilot is “the rich.”

Eat the donor class.

In Georgia the 1%'s income begins at $500k (unclear if individual or household). That 1% accounts for 19% of all income and 36.3% of all federal income taxes.

I’m not sure where the idea came from that the top 1% is “the rich” (probably from some socialist wannabe), but ask someone at the 50% mark if someone at the 5% mark is rich, and see what he tells you.

It’s all relative.

When I was a regional FO I had people with more toys than me tell me I was rich and that they were poor. Cold hard truth of the matter is yeah, the average wage is disgustingly low, but you could hand the average person a million bucks and they’d be broke in 48 hours.

People who don’t use money correctly never have any, regardless of income level.

I’m all for frivolous expenditures, myself. Though I’ve gotten tremendously less frivolous of late (being worried about a furlough for 8 months did that—basically all spending stopped for the first 6 months, in fact). Saving money just doesn’t feel as satisfying as spending it. Sure, the account balances are nice and all, and it’s nice to have a cushion, but in terms of getting my jollies I’d almost rather have repeated trips to the beach. Almost.

If someone handed me that large a check, I’d pay off the house, and rebuild my master bathroom to have a waterfall shower, washlet and floor-to-ceiling tile, as it both needs it and it is the only space as yet untouched in here (grumble).

Then, I don’t know what, probably buy myself a shiny, non-Elonian electric car (Audi E-Tron GT or so) to race my chief pilot and his Model 3 in the parking lot with, and stuff the remainder in the bank, honestly.

I'd put it in an index fund but that doesn't sound as sexy as AutoB's answer

I might want to add an airplane to that mix (one engine and maybe a radio).

He’s got a point. You gotta live. Most pilots live in the future and never have a real life.

Its just most people who are broke tend to think living = buying crap.

I find most things worth buying aren’t that expensive and a good savings brings peace of mind.

Always a balance, some people have a hard time figuring that out.

This is true.

I’m working on my taxes right now and I’m quite sure most people reading this thread would be on the guillotine as well.

I figured now is probably a good time to start getting caught up on my filings for AZ. So I’m starting work on that.....

But were you a FOURTH GENERATION Arizona resident for the entire year of 1989? That's the question.

It might sound kind of stupid or whatever but I didn't really see much of a future in being an RJ jock, which was one large component of why my financial situation was admittedly pretty irresponsible when I was. "Save money? Never 'eard of it."

Its just most people who are broke tend to think living = buying crap.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it sure is easier to be happy when you have currency. And good cash flow too.

The GeForce RTX 3070 or 3080 beg to differ

As would said E-Tron GT or waterfall shower and washlet, too.
