    Jealousy? Negative comments?


    It just seems so much simpler to us 'jealous' people, cut spending on luxuries and pay debts of very quickly.

    Also, I think it's quite sad that you associate high incomes with happiness. That because us mere mortals earn less that e must somehow be jealous.
    Firstly, us high income earners do not all associate high incomes with happiness, what a lot of people do not realise is the complete hard work, stress and effort that is involved in running your own business, we work twice as many hours in one week as most people we know.
    It also depends on what you call luxuries, as someone else pointed out you live your life style according to what you earn. What would seem luxuries to some people are every day living expenses to others. What I was trying to point out in my previous notes is that just because you have a high income does not mean you cannot get yourself in debt.
    This is why a few people that I have had correspondance with will not post there SOA myself included.
