Yes, it's no where near "rich," but it's definitely comfortable. Some people in third world countries survive off of less than one dollar a day, so i count my blessings on the regular!

I guess it depends on your perspective, and where you live. Ive lived in Alpine, New Jersey for 13 years. If your not established, things will go from one hundred to zero quick out here. #smh

Ah yes, east coast. I took a 3 day vacay in NYC and stayed in Hoboken. Crazy expensive cost of living. Trust me 50k here on Michigan would be like 100k there, no joke.

Thats whatsup bro. Hoboken is a nice place to drink. A bar on every block. I been there dozens of times. I think real estate companies in general price homes sky high if they are close by the water or near New York City Or any major city.

Oh absolutely! Btw, my wife and i are huge Jersey shore fans, and i want to drive out to seaside heights for a few days, as it is only about an 11 hour drive from Lansing, mi where i live. If you've been there, do you know if parking is easily accessible for us to spend the day on the beach and the night on the board walk? Actually let me rephrase that... Would it be a short walk from a local hotel, such as a best western or ramada inn, to the beach/boardwalk? Thanks for the info!

Not sure about that one. I haven't been to Seaside sense my high school days, and that was before the show came out lol, and Hurricane Sandy for that matter. Parking is always a nightmare by the beach, specially when it gets nice outside. If you want to go, late April, early May is the best time to go. Avoid those crowds, because it's so large you can barely walk pass people in the summer time.

Thanks for the info man

Anytime.

I'd definitely travel. Experience as much as I can cram into my lifetime.

I live in San Francisco (the most overpriced city in the entire fucking nation), so I'd probably STILL have to work even with that extra 50K a year.

Pfft.

Do you guys in San Fran get Earthquakes a lot like in the ending scene of that movie Arachnophobia? lol.
