    would you change how and where you live? Additional income for me would make no difference on how or where I live.

    Well, currently, my wife makes a very nice weekly income on her at-home job. But, then again, she doesn't get paid for any holidays, sick days or personal days. So, we are doing fairly good.

    But, there are those that could always use more income, especially those that don't have dental or vision insurance. And, there are those that can't even afford Medicare. So, when things "needed" or "wanted" are added to the list, more money is always a big plus.

    Why are you trying to answer for other people? Let them respond.

    Of course I would! Who wouldn't? I'm presently well fixed in assets, but I certainly wouldn't refuse more!

    20% isn't nearly enough. Now, if I could win the next Powerball drawing ($670 million), THAT would make me happy

    Now, let's see..........a nice "ranch" style house next to a lake, with a boat dock, a new Dodge Durango (like the one we have, but a 2022), a new 2022 Bowrider boat (with EFI) and enough to visit: Niagara Falls, Paris, London and Venice.

    That should cover our "wants/wishes", but our "gets" would be a whole lot different.

    Would you quit being so nasty towards me! Then again, perhaps that's just the way you are.

    Read your opening post, @Lon Tanner . YOU specifically asked people if they would change where and how they lived, so do not now claim that no one asked.

    So you could get all of that with a 20% increase in your monthly income? I'm impressed. ;)
