1) Starting a new business of our own
2) A 15-day cruise through the Panama Canal, which my Dad of all people really deserves because he's basically been in the middle of a lawsuit for over 2 years
As tempting as it is to go and blow it all on a new car, house, etc... it doesn't make sense, because we know we can just go ahead and invest in a new business and make much more money down the road.

True a pharmacist that works in a hospital will have more responsibilites than retail pharmacies, HOWEVER do NOT say that retail pharmacist dont have to do crap.

Im a pharmacy tech and waiting to get into pharm school this year and you will not believe the amount of doctors that give -too large of a dose to children -writting down wrong drugs or drugs that dont exist -changing doses of the drug that their patients have been on without realizing it... Regardless there have been tons of mistakes that the pharmacist has to know, interactions they have to check, etc... Because if the pharmacist doesnt catch the mistake, regardless of whose actual fault it , the pharmacist will take the blame. Pharmacy school isnt necessarily EASY either. Maybe if you go on to be a doctor and jump back and try to goto pharm school, ya it will be easy. But I dont think anything medical is considered easy. Every occupation has its strong and weak points but just try not to belittle other occupations...
I didn't say pharm is easy. I said pharm school is easier than medical school. I guess I should have said it's no harder than medical school.

I'm with you, I hate the thought to living above my means.
I just sold my home of 10 years IN A DAY and walked away with $280K in profit. Both cars are paid for so I HAVE NO DEBT AT ALL.
$350K in cash, $250K in stocks, no debt, It’s really nice.

im sorry, is this where i tell everyone how rich i am, and how how stupid poor people are?

This is not about who is rich.... it is about making smart decisions.
I stated before that out of college i made $18 for 3 different jobs, but somehow in that 2-3 year period I still saved $$$... I didn't just piss it all away like the examples above.
If I were living paycheck to paycheck i would be really worried about getting laid off, and try to save a few bucks just in case..... not the people I know.... saving is for suckers in their book.
okay.... so you do know the secret "rich guy" handshake right?
