    Sounds wonderful, sometimes it’s good to be too poor to travel

    I just never saw the appeal in it. I'd rather do something cool like build a car or bike with the money instead. At least you have something to show for it.

    Yup, I buy tools or squirrel it away, I now have “might be a truck one day” fund. Got a long way to go, if not will turn into something useful/fun

    Well, letr's see.
    I don't like gambling. Don't like live shows. I only drink two times a year, Memorial day in honor of fallen comrades an Veterans Day to celebrate the fact that I'm still alive. Hate buffets, crowds, hotels, cities, most civilians and crime.
    So I couldn't care less about the prices somewhere that I would only go if I got paid to go.
    Ok, I don't actually hate most civilians, I just don't understand them. And frankly, they rub me the wrong way so I try to avoid them.

    I don't even go to family reunions because I don't like crowds. I live in gated communities because there's no foot traffic or vehicle traffic, except for the people that live here. When I go to the mailbox, I check to make sure the coast is clear and I won't cross paths with anyone as I do that simple chore.
    I moved to Las Vegas for the great weather year round and no state income taxes and no taxes on food at the grocery stores.

    Vegas for the rich and famous and the new money wannabe rich and famous. Just like Bugsy meant it to be. Its trying to go back to the 1950’s thru 80’s. Before they reinvented it to be families with kids friendly. We went 4 times between 2002 and 2005. The county fair and kindergarten playground feel back then sucked. And it was expensive back then.

    Only place I'm comfortable, outside of home, are the jazz clubs in China. Dim lights, soft jazz music, beautiful like-minded women, cute wife beside me.
