Yay Perkins!
And good luck Theo; I hope they decide you're perfect for the job.
And more no-cancer-ma for Typo, and job-ma for Gud.
If I'm forgetting anyone, please take what 'ma you need.
Jesse, thanks for the reminder: of course summering on the Vinyard is still rich; and I'm rich, too: I own my own house (okay, the bank owns 2/3 of it), and get to travel and eat out.
And now I'm going to take my comfortably-well-off self out for a long walk with an antsy GSD, and then get my shaggy hair cut.
Yeah, Consuela, it's kind of funny because I have student loan debt that exceeds my annual income, but I feel like that's just another sign of being rich -- I was confident enough in my future earnings to take out the grad school loans.
Good for you Perkins!
Here's a Jesus sock for your Good Friday: [link]
Yay, Perkins!!!
I had a conversation with my sister a while back about the difference between being broke and being poor. Both of us have been broke at several times in our lives, but we come from a rich enough family that we'll never really be poor. DH and I are currently struggling to make ends meet, but someday I'm going to inherit a summer home in Canada (two separate pieces of land property with a current toal of 4 cabins) and at least one sailboat. My trust fund is mostly empty because we used it to buy a home. Etc etc.
Hooray, Perkins!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo hoo Perkins!!!
Congrats Perkins!
Can you get liquored up now?

This. When I was trying to get a job last year, my officemate -- who grew up in a blue-collar family and was the first one in his family to go to college, let alone grad school -- thought that I was absolutely insane for turning down a job when I didn't have any other offers. My feeling was that I'd be miserable in that job, and I always knew that I had the safety net of living with my parents for a little while. In his mind, turning down a paying job without knowing that you've got another job to take was financial suicide. In my mind, there was no way that I should take a job that I didn't want.
