I may be poor in material wealth, but I'm also deeply impoverished of spirit.

Thanks for the compliment, remy, but I'm sure I'm not even close to being in the top tier, money-wise.

Hmm, remy, my parents drilled it into my head SO MUCH that you never, ever, ever ask about anyone's earnings that it is like speaking the name of Y-HW-H to me. Also never to use arcade games. So those things still make me uncomfortable.

ned?

roxymuzak is the richest person in the world. the girl doesnt work and seems to have endless 20 dollar bills to buy lime tortilla chips with.

^^

marry that girl

that's terrible (about the arcade games).

ned?

I highly doubt it.

taking question literally, Ian whatshisname

I'm just a stiff who drives a school bus these days, but I do own my own home and own both cars ('94 Honda and '97 Subaru) outright. My wife and I have no debts. Zero.

This amplifies what would otherwise be a pretty meager income (somewhat below the USA median) into something better than just adequate. Not a whole lot better, but way better than most of ILXors.

i am not the richest motherfucker on this board

The correct answer is "Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows".

OMG Aimless how is it to drive a school bus? Also, do you smoke?

I don't fuck my mother, so I'm out of the running too.

aimless all my sitting has not helped me not-envy you.

I think "who's comfortable/uncomfortable talking about it?" is at least as interesting a question as "who's got it?"

My parents have stashed away some for me in a trust fund, but I don't know how much, or when I'm supposed to get it. I think they set it up mainly to protect some of their assets from my dopefiend brother.

So my answer is: uh, not me.

definitely not rich. my parents are reasonably well-off, but I have some student and credit card debt and don't make much money (enough, but not tons).

It'll be awesome if I can someday say I'm the world's oldest trustafarian as well as the Last Baby Boomer.

I think "who's comfortable/uncomfortable talking about it?" is at least as interesting a question as "who's got it?"

This is true. Another interesting question is "Do you feel you are overpaid/adequately paid/underpaid for the work you do?"

I'm probably overpaid.

depends on what the wombat is planning to buy

AA what is the development of new housing and suburbs in AUS like? Is there any interest in 'new urbanity' or designs for suburbs and towns that are less car-focused?

sorry 'new urbanism' is what I meant to say!

It's all about cars here. We have public transport, but for 95 percent of the population it's inadequate, poorly planned and not keeping up with urban growth.

re credit, I just think demand is influenced by other factors beyond the avilaibility of credit.

as for housing price rise = prinitng off money, I dont really understand monetary flows that well but to my mind a house isnt just a "paper investment", its physical for starters and investment in housing stimulates consmer spending but its also a SERVICE with not just wealth benefits but huge social and health benefits.

Famous last words but the market wont crash over here.

I might be in serious consideration for the poorest, especially if you factor in my parents. But I live in a city that is community based enough and have enough artist friends that I can get by even if I don't really own anything.

I don't need (*pfff*) MONEY. I just need anti-depressants!

The deciding factor in this whole boom is the banks' willingness to overlend. When the recession bites and people can't afford their repayments, there will be defaults all over the place. This is the only logical outcome.

money can buy u antidepressants

-- Autumn Almanac,

Figured as much -- same as US. Very interested in the future of this. Got to be a major growth field over next 40 years. Growth at moment poorly planned, and overly car reliant. Australia and US way behind China, Japan and even Europe in looking at these issues. Low density suburbs with inadequate public transport links likely to become inescapable traps in a few decades time.

as for housing price rise = prinitng off money, I dont really understand monetary flows that well but to my mind a house isnt just a "paper investment", its physical for starters and investment in housing stimulates consmer spending

Money is created via debt. This is why house prices 'must' continue to rise to avoid the spectre of deflation. Banks 'create' new money via lending. New wealth is not created via this, but new money is - after all it is still the same house as it was 5,10,30 years ago. It isn't 'worth' any more than it used to be, it is merely that there is more money in the system and that money is created through house buying - kind of where inflation starts (wage and price rises are symptoms not causes). Once it loses connection with reality (wages, rents) then a crash is inevitable, same as every other time, same as all the other countries

Although AA makes interesting points about mining and other factors, Australia is not fundamentally different to any of the other countries where they said 'it won't happen here'

Do you have something like Spreadfair?

If this isn't being realised yet in Aus you might be able to make some decent money off that - because you in effect bet against other people rather than the system, and the majority of people tend to think prices only ever go up - denial is a major factor everytime and the belief that actual wealth creation has occurred does not dissipate easily (only problem with this is which statistics are used so you have to be careful not to get caught out!)

I AM VAHID, I TOOK 3 ULYSSES COURSES. I OWN A MANSION AND A YACHT. -- hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 22:18 (3 years ago)

All hail burt stanton, the man is good. Kon I should recall how the money suply works but Im dead to it these days, but it would seem odd to say "money is ONLY created through debt " that would only make sense if an economy was a closed system, why cant money also be created through growth?

WHat is "reality", the wage /price gap might have to ease, but I dont see why it HAS to reduce to traditional levels if people are prepared to wait longer before purchasing a house and save more or alternatively become more comfortable with higher levels of debt.

More burt pls.

vahid also has a nice car accoring to goooogle

Wealth is created by growth, not money. When you borrow money to start a business or buy a house money is created at that point, and when you pay it back it is destroyed. All money (well apart from physical printed money which is a tiny fraction of money) is created this way. When you 'borrow' money the bank doesn't lend you money from one of their depositors accounts. it creates it, new money is born. The growth comes from the work you do to pay that back. Its borrowing from the future in essence. At any one time if all the loans in existence had to be paid back it would not be possible (similarly if everyone tried to withdraw all their cash from the banks it would not be possible). There isn't enough money in existence - the minute you borrow $100k you owe $100k +interest - if you gave the $100k back you would owe a bit more still. Its why every country in the world is in debt.

I dont see why it HAS to reduce to traditional levels if people are prepared to wait longer before purchasing a house and save more or alternatively become more comfortable with higher levels of debt

I'm sure people are more comfortable with debt! The last decade has shown that clearly. The problem is when the banks become worried about the debt and are no longer comfortable with it, and start pulling the plug.

This happened every other time and it is happening again. An expansion inevitably leads to a contraction and then a recession

Well, I'm not worried because I can always borrow money from deeznuts, or my mom.

Ahh ok, yes that makes sense. I was stuck on the thought of increased productivity within an economy or export reciepts/injection of capital from overseas "creating money" for some reason, bit of a worry that I used to teach high school economics.

Are you an urban planner?

The NY Times has an article today about some banks deciding
to no longer provide loans to community colleges & some less selective 4 year schools...basically because the loans are smaller than at bigger schools and they make less money off of them. This is really depressing.

How about a thread where someone only posts if they earn more than the previous poster and are willing to give an actual earnings figure? It could be interesting to see at what point it tails off, either through modesty or embarrassment or actually having reached the richest motherfucker posting on this board.

I say we go with gross yearly earnings (i.e. before tax and any other deductions), currency conversions taken into account as appropriate.

luna must have a fortune cos she gets internet folks to send her money
