I agree with all the goose/gander talk.
All that aside- I'm amazed at the amount of money some people have. I recently did 3-4 days diving with a guy, during surface breaks we had lunch together and I met his wife. He said he wouldn't be diving the next day and then talked about having to travel a lot for work. Named several cities he needed to be in over the next week. I mentioned "Wow, you must have a lot of air miles!" He explained "when you own your own jet they don't give you air miles they just charge you for fuel and stuff."
Some people are on such a different income level most of us have no comprehension. I remember years back when Michael Jordan was seen in a casino playing 100K hands of back jack. When asked about it later he stated "I make 2 mil. a game, if I play $100 it doesn't mean anything to me. I have to play enough per hand to make it interesting or not at all." I did the math and his playing 100K a hand was like me playing $25-$50 bets and if I played .05 a hand it probably wouldn't hold my interest very long either.
