Ross Miller replied to Conor O' Sullivan's discussion Returning to Fitness"I Agree with the eating, but sometimes that alone is not enough. However, it is a great start. Past that you might want to focus on works outs designed to burn fat vs gain muscle. I'm returning to being an avid cyclist, and I know there are…"
Ross Miller replied to Daniel's discussion Advice on buying a place of my own?"I'd assume Chicago has the "city" effect like other citys. The close you are to downtown the more expensive things become. That being said, Location/size/amenities/etc all play into price. Best bet is to find a good agent and actually…"
Ross Miller replied to Johnny's discussion Additional Ways To Make Money?"While I am far from authoritative source on the matter, I've always had side jobs. That being said, some paid a LOT more than others and I got different things out of them. First thing, how much time do you have to spend? I worked retail (REI…"
Ross Miller replied to scoyne2's discussion Considering perusing a Doctor of Business Administration in Information Systems, any thoughts?"While I have nothing to back this up, other than personal observations in the IT world, I'd say hold off on the DBA. CIO's tend to be forward thinkers and tech savvy guys. While education plays a little bit into the role, its more the…"
Sam I. replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?" I would determine wealthy to be the financial point where you haven't even the most remote ressemblance of fear about paying for necessities and eventual retirement. W"
David F. replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"I was thinking living within your means AND being happy about it. My first thought on the topic was all bills covered + XXXX extra to spend how one pleases per month. But I realized that what I was really saying was based in what…"
Jack Bauer replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"That would have more to do with 'living within your means' than what your means are. Lots of high-income people live above their means ... and quite a few poor people can't spend what they don't have in…"
Rick Shelton replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"Of course. I was using the Huffington Post's numbers. We paid over $25k in taxes and still had to pay $1500 more. It's crazy."
David F. replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"Wealthy is all your bills covered and having enough spending money to enjoy your lifestyle without creating debt.
It is not an amount of money. It is about resources available to be expended as you wish without long term effects.

Nick H replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"I read the other comments first. Jack B pretty much gave what I think. "Wealth" is relative. I grew up in a more wealthy neighbourhood of my town. If you asked me as a kid who was wealthy I could probably list a few neighbours who were…"
Chu Kim replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"There is never enough money. The more you make it seems the more you have to spend. I guess like 5 million would be enough to not have to worry about anything for a good while."
Native Son replied to Ross Miller's discussion What do you consider "wealthy" to be?"It's always a relative answer to a relative question.
What I earn today (higher end middle class income) would have been an outlandishly large income in my father's working days. Of course back then cars cost roughly…"
""Good" and "reasonable" are by definition subjective. And I will not be drawn into a discussion of 'taxing the rich' with you.
I will leave you with a quote that may put things in perspective. Just…"

Liam S. replied to Herb Munson's discussion The Primacy and Existence of God in the group The Great Debate"Cognitive dissonance is easy to avoid if you just automatically dismiss anything that might challenge what you think you know as "words that don't count in life."

The Great Debate
"Iron sharpens iron." A place for men to impact each other by debate and exchange of ideas. This is a group where no ideas are off limits. If your motto is, "I never talk about politics or religion," this group is probably not for you. A "gym" for thinkers.See More
