Ouch Indy, that was harsh

I live within my means.

I have had a few years where I've made a bit over 6 figures, but most of the time I fall a few thousand short. That's with no college degree, and in all honesty, it's really not hard work. I leave my house between 10-11 am every morning, and get home by 6.

I feel really bad when I go visit my brother who spent 7 years in school and makes 60k less than me.

So, how do I get into your downline?

7 years in school is not bad at all for that kind of money , considering he dropped out before junior high.

I make almost one third annually what my student loans are. Very exciting. I vomit in my own mouth a little when I think about all those years of foregone wages while I was in school, and I see people without a degree making some coin.

But hey, jealousy is bad karma. More power to them and their families.

You could have done what I did - get one of those fake degrees from the University of Phoenix (Motto: "Pay your fee, get your degree")

Good thing my employer coughed up for the dime-store diploma.

Oh well, it's a good thing I'm so handsome because I've been able to make a comfortable living without a great academic record (I flunked out of CS at BYU and out of Physics at the U).

Am I the only one willing to admit that I do not really golf? I really enjoy it when I go (even though I stink), but I just dont have the desire to ever go that much.

I have no problem getting up at 5:45AM and meeting a few friends to go surf. In fact, I look forward to that in the same way some of you golf aficionados love the links. But the golf bug never bit me. All told, I just would rather both my balls be in the water than only one of them.

I've golfed twice in my life, and probably consigned myself to the terrestrial kingdom, based on my language and behavior on the course.

Golf sucks.

I suck at it, but I actually have a lot of fun when I go. I try not to go with serious golfers because then it becomes annoying if you aren't moving fast enough. I love going with good golfers who don't mind giving you a tip or two, but then can shut up when you are teeing off.

I also like that metal key thing that is used to replace divots. Sometimes I will just poke holes in the grass while I am waiting for everyone else to tee off.

Sign that I am a golf rookie....my ball marker is just a coin. I don't have any cool official ball marker.

We used to live about 5 minutes from Pelican Hill in Newport. I have golfed North and South both a few times. It just recently re-opened and is a beautiful course. I've done Kapalua in Hawaii. Also beautiful.

I also went a ton in law school to Tri Cities in American Fork. I think it cost about $12 to golf. I loved that place. Hobble Creek was awesome. East Bay exec course....NOT awesome. Seven Peaks.....NOT awesome.
