Sorry you are incest about gifs.

Tell me, going back to the subject matter. Who do you fantasize you're with, when you are alone?

Oooops, sorry about that gif.

I see, virgins are your thing, heh? Just make sure they are of legal age to consent.

Hey Bernie, how come you have an annual income of $200k and yet only report a net worth of $300k?

High income doesn't guarantee high net worth. Plenty of people with an annual income of $200K have a negative net worth. It's not hard to spend all the money you make even if you make a fair bit.

You'd have to be pretty careless. The average household wealth in the UK is roughly 13x the average income.

Maybe that's a cultural thing.

I have no idea what the ratio is in Canada or the U.S., but I know plenty of people with six-digit salaries and a negative net worth.

So rather than being crooked, Bernie is actually just a careless spender and poor saver?

Not someone I'd trust with my country's economy.

I already gave you details on my income and net worth. Stop repeating questions that have been answered. Feel like Hillary in front of the Benghazi committee.

Or caught up in the world of high spenders. A lot of professional sports players in the United States are often broke shortly after their contracts expire.

Still sounds like careless spending to me.

It's entirely possible, and I don't disagree with your conclusion, either.

Buy or lease a new luxury sedan on this continent every two or three years and there's your over spending. Poor bastard probably has to take his wife on vacation twice a year. I suspect his rent or a mortgage is sucking his wallet like you on a new friend at a public bath house...

If his wife wants to go to the theatre or worse yet to see Sir Elton and Madona? He might like to go watch the local pro sports team. Perhaps they will get a bottle or two of wine with dinner.

Assets end up being the house or apartment and a quickly depreciating pair of luxury sedans.
