Self-righteous bullshitter
That reads like an Onion piece.
“I feel stuck. The New York that I wanted to have is still just beyond my reach.”
“All I want is the stuff that I always thought, growing up, that successful parents had.”
Hans Kullberg, 27, a trader at Wyckoff, New Jersey-based hedge fund Falcon Management Corp. who said he earns about $150,000 a year, is adjusting his sights, too.
After graduating from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 2006, he spent a $10,000 signing bonus from Citigroup Inc. (C) on a six-week trip to South America.
He worked on an emerging-markets team at the bank that traded and marketed synthetic collateralized debt obligations.
His tastes for travel got “a little bit more lavish,” he said. Kullberg, a triathlete, went to a bachelor party in Las Vegas in January after renting a four-bedroom ski cabin at Bear Mountain in California as a Christmas gift to his parents.
He went to Ibiza for another bachelor party in August, spending $3,000 on a three-day trip, including a 15-minute ride from the airport that cost $100. In May he spent 10 days in India.
Earlier this month, a friend invited him on a trip to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The friend was going to be a judge in a wet T-shirt contest, Kullberg said. He turned down the offer.
It wouldn’t have been “the most financially prudent thing to do,” he said. “I’m not totally sure about what I’m going to get paid this year, how I’m going to be doing.”
WDW>>>>>Ibiza.
“People who don’t have money don’t understand the stress,” said Alan Dlugash, a partner at accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New York who specializes in financial planning for the wealthy. “Could you imagine what it’s like to say I got three kids in private school, I have to think about pulling them out? How do you do that?”
I think so too, I LOVE WDW. And on top of it all I had never even been there before, never went as a kid. Parents couldn't afford it.
I think WDW is actually more fun as adult
No sympathy for Hans. The last trip I took was in 2009, and it wasn't freaking Ibiza. It was Disney World. I saw tons of countries in Epcot.
Enjoying your 8-hour workdays?
your weekends? your 2 weeks minimum of vacations?
(believe it or not, other than weekends, i don't get these things either)
Are you enjoying your Bush tax cut?
Conservative economics mean that one illness/injury will ruin my life. Thanks, private health insurance!Are you enjoying your Bush tax cut?
PhilsFan said:Been struggling to open doors because of my shoulder. Definitely can't go back to my normal job in the factory since I can't lift anything. But yeah, let's vote for Romney so that everything can be private and a few thousand rich people can live their extravagant lives off of the labor of the rest of the country. That sounds like a plan for America, you guys.

I'm serious, though, I'm 95 percent sure I tore my rotator cuff last month. I've been ignoring it the whole time because I have no money for the co-pay since all my remaining money is meant for my next payment for college. This is a great system, definitely.
First of all I hope that turns out to be nothing more than tendinitis.
But you seem to be bemoaning the fact that your medical insurance requires a copay rather than the fact that the soaring cost of college tuition basically leaves you with no money? Or are you pissed at both as I don't mean to put words into your mouth.
