Eat the rich.

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.

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

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.

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."

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.
