At 5% annually since 1957, it would have just passed the 1 million mark
last year, looking at (substitute dollar for pound sign, which I can't
find) $1,092,283.81

See now that's not so much, is it ;)

That was compounding, stupid. It's that math thing.

That 100k could be a LOTTA moola by now.


And I suppose 1,092,283.81 is not?

I'm fairly certain that even my gardener has a net worth of over a million
dollars. He'd have to. Starter homes near here (1000 square foot ranch on 1/4
acre) routinely go for about 600k. There's nothing less than that. Median house
price is well over a million.

Look up the definition of net worth. Then get back to us.

So... How many times did you sail that "designed to be sailed"
Snoredick 30 this season, Guy?

Tell you what..... if you agree to refer to me as Capt. Mooron, Mooron or
CM... I'll gladly engage you.... till then you have air....

No hard feelings PJ... it's just the way the game is played.

Don't be shy Mooron. We all know you're one of them. Oh wait, not in
Canadian money.

Finally... years of waiting and you come up with a witty reply!

No... I'm property rich and cash poor

Ok. I apologize for that remark.

Never apologize unless you've done somthing wrong.

Reporting me was really wrong Jon.... that's a fact.

Here's my guess:

Mooron - in Canadian dollars (equivalent $40 US)
Ozzy - in Australian dollars (equivalent $40 US)
Neal - in his own mind
Bob - on Usenet
Crantz - in religious fervor
Bart/Jeff/Doug/PWD - in experience
Donal - in pseudo Euros
Katy - in class
Scotty - in trucks
Joe - in steel

Jonathan Ganz - in.... [add what you think]

That was compounding, stupid. It's that math thing.

I mentioned compounding, toothless one. I also mentioned what you
obviously
didn't know. Your 5% figure was borne of ignorance.


That 100k could be a LOTTA moola by now.


And I suppose 1,092,283.81 is not?


Not compared to what thay money probably would have earned by now. Are you
really this unsophisticated, or is it an act?


I'm fairly certain that even my gardener has a net worth of over a
million
dollars. He'd have to. Starter homes near here (1000 square foot ranch
on 1/4
acre) routinely go for about 600k. There's nothing less than that.
Median house
price is well over a million.

Look up the definition of net worth. Then get back to us.

My gardener has owned his own home, which is by no means a starter home,
for
over 30 years. It's paid off. He OWNS it. My guess is that it would sell
for
somewhere around 1.2 million. He also has been running a successful
landscaping
company all that time, and has a waiting list of people who wish he could
be
THEIR gardener too. Like I said earlier, he drives around in an 80,000
dollar
car with a custom trailer. Paint matched, rims matched... You get the
picture.
Or maybe, since you are from a comparatively depressed and uneducated part
of
the country, you don't.

Around here, you would barely qualify as middle class... maybe.


I'm relieved!
