    Save some money or live in, well, obscene levels of comfort?

    I know how I'd reply
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    I can't afford to not live in obscene levels of penniless comfort.
    I don't live here any more.

    If I had the wealth, I'd be off hiking all the time, so I guess that rules out the comfort.

    Maybe I feel better knowing that I know that you don't know what I know, but I know what I know, and what I know is on a need to know basis. You know?

    It's not all that often that the occasion calls for a tie in my case. I suppose if I cared to know I could go look, but that would require effort, which is clearly not my forte.

    [Mode="Smug"] I have money, and it makes me very comfortable. [/Smug]

    BTW, money can't buy you happiness, so if you want to make me unhappy, send me all your money. I know better.

    The only thing harder than living to 90 is living to 90 and being broke. In case you die early you can always leave it to the Benevolent Home for Wayward Programmers.
