I enjoy having a roommate, it makes weeknights not so boring. (not gh3y)

I definitely do not live paycheck to paycheck. After all expenses...both necessary and want-based...I still put $$ in the coffers.

My old company just lost a contract with their #1 hospital.

If you're not up to speed on all company financials, you shouldn't really rely on job security. I say that as someone who has have two tech companies go belly up from under him.
Enjoying, and needing, are two different things. I don't think you have a roommate becuase you find him irresistable and you need to live with him to fully enjoy the experience of life. My personal experience was that I got a roommate when I needed one, and it was inconvenient because I had to change my life to bone my women in peace.
You're living paycheck to paycheck dude. I doubt seriously that you can take a 6 month sabbatical of unpaid leave. Unless you're banking over a couple years pay, or at minimum a year's pay, you're kinda living check to check.

What is a fast track job?

It means I took an entry level position for entry level money with the understanding that I use this opportunity to learn about the business so in a couple years, I will be doing something more important. It means that I've been given an opportunity to show I'm good stuff, so that I may reap rewards in the near future, and distant future.
You could have just said "It's a lie that companies tell you".

I'm in every sales meeting, where we go over financials, if you truly must know.

I'm paying more for my half of our current apartment than many of the one-bedroom apartments were going for in Schaumburg. So actually, I'm paying MORE to have a roommate.

Your last statement is very incorrect. You're saying two very different things. Paycheck to paycheck means there are things I wouldn't be able to pay for until next paycheck. This isn't the case.

I appreciate that you're looking out for my financial interests. But I'm doing A-ok!

All right. Sales meetings. Do they talk about liabilities in sales meetings too? The ones i've been in generally concentrate on revenue and barely mention EBITA or any of the other liabilities outisde of EBITA. Interesting. Your company is very trusting in you. Usually, not many people at the company have the keys like that.
You're not paying More to have a roommate. Your logic is funny, but incorrect. If the base rent was $1100, and you pay say $800 of that, you're not paying "more to have a roommate". But good giggles nevertheless.
Most people when they say "paycheck to paycheck" mean that the loss of one or two paychecks would set them back. If you can survive for about 6 months you can claim to not live "paycheck to paycheck". True, it's a matter of semantics but the point, if you will, was that if you're not sitting on a year's income in cash, you need your weekly paycheck. Or bi-weekly, to avoid another semantic argument.
One thing I will say about this thread... it was indeed revealed more of you again. Fascinating how your thought process works, in my opinion.

Oh I completely agree.
It's just I really seriously and totally doubt you're in "Good financial shape" given your stated incomes and liabilities and assets.
How do you define good financial shape?

I think it's pretty much because IMU brags a lot about his money and I think that some folks might be calling it out.
He's publically offered his income, and good deal of his assets and liabilites. So, the conversation, in my opinion (calmly stated) is perfectly acceptable in terms of appropriateness.

Why would any of you care what I spend my money on? Why would you care that I do not own a home or condo? Why would you care about my investment portfolio or savings account?

Don't fret bros, I'll still always have enough spending money to hang out with you guys at Bulls games and Katie O's.


To be honest, I think it stems from you coming here and asking advice, then turning the thread into a "Brag about something that only IMU cares about" thread when you don't like the answer. Just my perception, though.

It could be that you judged chas who likely has more money sitting in the bank than you, or that you bragged about making money on selling your car when you really didn't, or that you bragged about buying another car.

You'll be insufferable in two years when you are the CEO of your company by riding the fast track.

We don't.
In fact we're glad people like you are being parted from your money, because it helps the local economy.

FWIW, I haven't "raced" my car since... my 20's??
I'm too old for that shit. My step brother Bobby though, that mfer builds supras. The one he just finished is pushing 750 HP at the flywheel. Pretty impressive. Its like being in a shuttle launch when he drops it.
Almost too much. :oops:
