It's been this way since I've been here. Just make sure you agree with who barks the loudest and you'll be fine.
We've got threads with people bragging about multi-million $$ real estate holdings, others about dating 6 foot tall models, others about how they could afford a half a dozen 996's if they wanted to (but are afraid the engine's will all blow up on 'em)..
Man, did someone slip too much rum in the eggnog?
For the record, I'm just an average guy. I'm in my-mid 40's, married 20+ years, make a comfortable, but not excessive, income, only own a couple of houses, my wife is not a 6 foot tall model (but, I think she looks fine, and if she were 6 foot tall, we'd make an odd couple, since I'm only 5'-something myself - you know the saying "When you're nose to nose, your toes are in it, when you're toes to toes..").. I'm haven't made millions investing in offshore real estate, or google stock. I don't party with Joey Carrera or Paris whats-her-face.
I guess I just don't belong here
Except for one thing: compared to 90% of the world, I'm rich. I have clothes on my back, a warm dry bed to sleep in, more than enough food and drink to keep me happy, my wife and family love me and I have enough good friends to share some laughs with. Life could be a whole lot worse.
Oh yeah, and

Tell me about it!
Hello Nick and Happy New Year, from another average dude with a 996.

Guys... please. Average? The median income for a working male in the USA according to your 2005 census was just under $35,000 a year. Making an even hundred would put you well north of the 90th percentile for the USA. For the world, it's almost incalculable. We are rich, and very lucky. Bickering and false modesty disguise what these discussions are really about, which is who's richER. Somebody called it "locker room talk", which I think is about right.

Horses are expensive, my lovely wife has a more expensive hobby. It's called shopping!
Agree with all above, and yes I am a early 40 year old with just one house! Yikes, I'm falling behind. I am very fortunate also with family, kids, a few toys (not a ton) a good paying job (a lot into stocks, not fabulous mansions) and I wish everyone a happy and fun NEW YEAR!

Your hobby (Porsche) and your wife's hobby (horses) have something in common. For either hobby, when you have to pay for service, it is guaranteed that someone is going to get f'ked! The main difference is that at least the horse gets to enjoy it!
