Default How Much Would Make a Difference?

how much $$$ would make a difference in your life?

not the maximum amount (we'd all post a billion as a answer), but the lower end of the scale?

for me, about $30,000 would make a difference. that would cover my end of all my pending medical bills and leave a little extra for a new iMac, and maybe a new gun or something nice for Mrs. DAB.

i'm hoping for very good news the week of the 17th: hoping for a job offer which would allow me to earn that kind of money over the course of next year.

Oh, it's hard to say. Right now I don't really need anything. But if I had $30,000 in medical bills that would be the right number.


Good luck with the new job, Doug.

Interestingly enough, that same $30k would do it for me as well. Pay off all my debt except my mortgage and allow me to find a better job.

Not a higher paying job...a better job. As it's going, I'll be able to do that in about three years regardless.

Wishing the best for you.

500,000.00. Pay off all debt and mortgage.

Good luck Doug, you do know that you can make payments as low as 25.00 a month and they can't do a damn thing.

in my 30's... it was $500k... and I could stop working for life.

Now; about $220k would do the trick.

$100-150k. Could run a front running ST car for a whole season and have some extra for repairs, and food.

75K.

No debt to pay off, but it would allow me to put a down payment on a shop with some store front, and fully equip it.

Short term...20 bucks would be enough that id alter my plans for the weekend.

1500 bucks, would change my month.

150K. That would pay off the house, build the three car addition I want, put the vette on force feed, and allow me to retire to the lesson tee and tournament golf for good.

Actually I'm quite content, have eveything I need. Invested wisely over the years, have no bills, family and myself have no big life threatening health issues, of course if anyone wants to drop some bucks on me, wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Seven bucks cash US dollars would do it. Five for a haircut and two for a tip. Can't find an ATM anywhere in Panjwai and I'm starting to look like a hippy.
