What IS "baggage"???
| Fri, 06-29-2007 - 2:21pm |
So I've seen "no baggage" talked about a lot lately, as a prerequisite for dating material.
What IS baggage? And how do you reach adulthood without having any?
Our experiences and how we deal with what we're dealt makes us what we are.
Personally, I'd rather deal with some baggage than a blah mediocre vanilla lifestyle.

I was thinking the same thing!

I second that!
"""""I make just under $32500/year, so $80-$90k to me sounds pretty good to me! Where do I apply? LOL""""
I will be lucky to clear 30 after taxes this year myself. (-: Thus the whole chapter 7, down to survival. I don't think my mom and dad ever eared 30K combined.(8th and 11th grade educations) For me it has just been the last 5 or 6 years.
For the record, I would be glad to give you the phone number for my old boss . . just check your life at the door. (-: He once told me, "we want you to have a life, just not much of one and not often. He was generous in his description. (-; 7 days a week, 12 plus hours a day, and never ever home.
Could just be Miami, a cheap town house is well over 300K now-a-days, with the hurricanes the last several years insurance is off the chart, escrow is nuts. . .it takes almost 4K a month just to cover a mortgage, then add car, gas, food, utilities . . .I was not kidding when I said some of the girls I met on Match ended the date the moment they found out that was ALL I made. (-: I cant realistically look at $700,000 single family homes on that measly income. lol I agree, it scares me too. (-: I do however know a lot of women who make far more than I was making, far more. Education combined with a fearless approach to work can be a dangerous thing. ((-: I would be unstoppable if I had one. (-: Plus, even a devoiced woman who got a 4 million dollar home and support . . .it still adds up to something that can dwarf my paycheck. To her I am in fact not "gainfully" employed. All about perspective. I find a LOT of that on match. I paid $104,000 for the home I walked away from in the divorce, it is worth well into the 400K mark now. Trust me, it is a lot for me to earn, but in Miami it is not much money at all.
Miami is full of regular folks . .. it just seems they are not who I meet in places like match. ((-: I just have to filter people out . . .always with the "filters" with me. (-;
