How much $$$$$$ do you make?

Funny, all those years of the 1960's and 70's, everyone worried about the government becoming Big Brother... and here we turned out to do it to ourselves voluntarily with MySpace and FaceBook.

I think there is some merit to this statement. I never thought of Myspace and Facebook in that light, very interesting.

I think SCUBA is cheap compared to raising a couple of kids through college and grad school. And the whole family dives.
Good thing I am freakin loaded

No ***** same thing here!

humm...........I totally agree with you here.

$250,001 and up is pretty far from "I'm freakin' loaded"

i werks on da carz....I dont use the forum to figure out how I can fit my expensive gear and/or world wide trips into any sentence on here to feel superior nor do I discount any opinion due to experience or "status" as a member on here. Had one person on here disregard my surf conditions report due to my lack of "status" as a less than 15,000 post member of this forum. Ones placement in the "food chain" is irrelavent as we are all RECREATIONAL divers and do this for fun. Cheap gear or tech bp/w or annual income are also irrelavent. If I drive a bicycle to the Superbowl and you drive a Mercedes....we both get to see the game. Who cares. Dive in your used gear on a shoestring budget and have a great time! I do! They dont call me Bottomfeeder for nothing. Turn off your status generator....grab your gear....open the door and get into life.

One shouldn't think of how rich you have to be to dive but how rich diving makes you.

 

[Charlie59]

Okay, I have noted that people who are well off seem to go to better places to dive.

Well said my friend.

I'm just college kid who got into diving. It's a decent initial investment, for me anyhow, but it's not things I need to be buying every year, so it's all good. I'm lucky enough to have my school completely paid for so that saves me quite a bit, I can graduate in May and not owe anything. It would be nice to be able to afford the random trips to nicer dive sites, but I take what I can get and it's all awesome in my view. Another reason I'm looking at California and Florida, mainly Florida, to move to after I graduate.
