It _is_ tough to live off of $100,000 a year.  When you make that much
money, people expect you to ditch your current residence for a larger
house.  Oh yeah, and don't forget the boat.  If you have $100,000/yr,
you _have_ to have a boat.  Cars?  Gotta have them, too.  Naturally,
the wife has to go shopping.  Did I mention the twenty or thirty
credit cards?  And hubby has to have a plane to fly (gotta have some
kind of hobby, you know).  Then, with the country  club membership,
well, there's hardly anthing left over to buy groceries!

Of course, need to learn just how tough it is to live off of $100,000
a year.  That'd really teach me a lesson! :)
