    Yeah, but like, how do you measure steve? Do you ask him nicely first, or are you doing it all incognito like? And you need to standardize the measurements somehow. Do you ask the same person to do the measuring? How is that going to work when you need to poll across a large section to be sure you’re perfectly average?

      because Steve is probably constantly bragging about how much money they have.

      rich people love nothing more at social events than to brag about how much money they are spending/making.

      look dude, the stats are out there. google them. it takes a few seconds to look up labor data, homeprices, wage data, etc.

      the key is to stop agonizing about what could have been or should be. accept what you are.

        Yeah, but steve, and most of the others, are self-reporting. Can you really trust those numbers? Unless you get your hands dirty and put the ruler up there yourself, how can you be certain? You’ve got to be certain here. Maybe it’s not six, maybe it’s only five and three quarters.
