I'm a successful solosapien who earned a staggering $15,676 last year. I receive no government aid. I fork over $70 a week from my 290ish pay check. The remainder goes towards rent, daughter, smoking(part of my retirement plan is to die before I retire) and last of all food(mostly cat food). Every few weeks I spend 40 bucks on a supply list that consists of trash bags, deodorant, soap, toothpaste, tea bags, plastic cups, plates, forks, knives and spoons. Grocery shopping involves bread, peanut butter, jelly, oatmeal and microwave burritos. I waste a lot of money on coffee, like 6 bucks a week, but a mans got to have some guilt.

Illy, sounds like you have an excellent pre-rich lifestyle. You should constantly consider how fortunate you are to be so close to making it!

If you are pre-rich, it is in your best interest to support changes to the tax code that favor the rich so that you will get to keep all of your money once you do become rich!

Illy, why don't you buy a cheap bowl, plate and silverware instead of buying plastic? Seems like you'd save some money.

In quite a few cases broke is more like post-rich than pre-rich

Yea I know. It's sort of obvious.. I don't know how to explain it.. It's only $4-10 bucks a month for the disposables and not doing dishes is my life's luxury that I'd imagine a weekend at the Beach House is for Post-Rich people. Closest thing to having a maid!
