re: crazy people of NYC

It's a pretty simple concept, delayed gratification and compound interest. These morons need instant gratification and they do use compound interest, but against themselves.

I'm rolling in a bucket with 170K miles, but have enough cash in investments to buy 10 new cars. A year ago, my friends that graduated with me were rich in college off of $10K a year, now they are broke off of $50K a year, but have new cars and a nicer place to live.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for any of these people. Most of them deserve to be exactly where they are at by either being naive, or just plain lacking any self control when it comes to money.
