“If I only made $100K” lamented an actuary recently. Apparently, the idea of paying taxes, being able to afford going out to dinner, having a reliable vehicle, and living in a condo downtown is just too much of a burden.
“I miss those days as student, when my paycheck went to paying student loans and renting out that basement in uptown. I actually had to think about budgeting then.”
To make matters worse, he was recently promoted and got a great PMP rating.
“It was a total nightmare.” He recalls. “I hate bonuses.”
He is trying to figure out what to do with so much cash. He’s tried buying a cabin up north, taking expensive vacations, and purchasing every gadget featured in the latest electronics store magazine. While his summer recreation is thoroughly pleasant, and he has acquired some sweet gear, something is just missing. Until he figures out what that is, he’s going to keep dealing with his unpleasant reality.
“Sometimes, you have to deal with what life hands you, whether you deserve it or not.”
