How Rich Are Tv-members ?

[Ricardo]

Do you lay awake worrying, about world stock-market corrections, or the baht exchange-rate ?

[bendix]

I'm not. And for that reason, I do.

[ashacat]

Eternally skint.

[leisurely]

Absolutely loaded, Mr Man is a millionaire and I am a princess with my own kingdom that generates as much bread and honey as I can spend. My daughters are, or at least will be highly desirable as brides due to the huge dowery that we can afford to lay out. I buy my weeks shopping at either Villa or Paragon, I use creme de la mare on my face and elbows...............................

Actually we are not loaded by any stretch of the mind. We have enough to get by on, own a car and go on holiday often - usually to Pattaya, Koh Chang or fly airasia.

Wealth is a relative thing.We are compared to many, if not the majorityof Thai people absoluted loaded, but in comparison to our friends in England we are certainly the poor relations.

Don't lay awake at night worrying about the exchange rate though.

[Neeranam]

I'm not and I don't. Then again, maybe I am.

[h90]

bascially 0 baht on the bank account

[terry57]

i feel rich because im blessed with a positive outlook and balanced view on life.

i can way up the good and the bad and usually come up with a positive instead of a negative.

the glass is half full instead of half empty sort of thing.

i have a great job, which brings me respect and allows me to travell often, also supplying a very fair financial reward.

thank you very much.

[jamesinchina]

Depends what you call rich

[bendix]

Last week I sold my house in New Zealand so felt rich for a while.

On Saturday, I got married.

The sense of wealth was good while it lasted .. . . . .

[davidjtayler]

I convert a lot of my hard earned satang into liquid assets which can temporarily make me feel rather bad ....

but the hangover is definately worth paying the price for a night out with the katoey 10 eh dave. :D

[mr_hippo]

Too rich to be bribed and too big to be bullied

All I can say Terry is that it will be good to have the reverend back in the Rambuttri parish in May to help me with the K10 and those 3 litre towers of liquid assets.

[farangsay]

I don't think about the stock markets because it's years since I owned stocks.

I try not to think about the baht exchange rate because it makes me want to vomit.

I lie awake worrying whether I can get to sleep before the bloody sparrows start chirping.

[ilyushin]

Guess the poorest rich guy on TV.

Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool.

[Ling Kae]

I don't worry about corrections but if the baht goes down it makes my farang money buy me a longer stay. In general if you got no money you are not really wanted in any country and Thailand is no exception to that rule.

[cloudhopper]

Rich enough to not have to pay any attention whatsoever to anyone except government officials and my mom.

The Baht will fluctuate. If you don't have to bet on which way it will go, you won't have to worry about it...

[Heng]

It's all relative.

[lannarebirth]

I'm rich enough to be able to have anything I need or want. I'm also blessed by not wanting to have, or needing to have anything too extravagant.

[webbew]

No. Not financially wealthy. I'm a bakery chef and I make about US$ 26,000 a year. That's just about enough to get by here in the States and maybe have enough for a nice vacation at the end of the year if you live very freugally.

[garro]

I am 37

No savings

No pension

No house to sell

No rich relatives

New wife

Baby on the way

Not worried

I always get by

[Jingthing]

My whole financial existence is based on stock market movements and baht values. I do stay up late at night, but not worrying. Does it help to worry? (Or maybe I am richer than I thought.)

[qwertz]

I'm rich enough to be able to have anything I need or want. I'm also blessed by not wanting to have, or needing to have anything too extravagant.

Quote by Mark Twain: A man is rich in proportion to that which he can do without.

[AlexLah]

Well I am not really happy, purchased a Benz S class 500 series and it stutters when going beyond 200 KM per hour.

My pool (50x20) gets cleaned every week but still have some leaves in it after.

The maids (4) are doing a good job on keeping the house clean, they also cook for me whatever I want.

However, a bit of problem for them to find a good Kebab.

Have sauna and Yakuchi.

So I consider myself rich but not too rich.

My Ex won the lottery, we had everything however life was shit!

Depends on what 'rich' means to the individual!

I'm certainly not rich by any western standards BUT I live here as I choose and am able to to live on less than half of what I could afford to spend. That may change if the baht keeps appreciating and if my stocks continue to go down. Actually my nest egg is in the stock market and other than the dividends, I have not had to use any of it. My retirement was based on 25 baht to the dollar so I am still comfortable.

To answer the original question......

Obscenely, thanks for asking, important? no where near as important as the health and happiness of my family and friends, and of course as the above post points out, that all my toys are running correctly......... and the houses are always clean………

alex

Dear Mr. High Master,

Am writing to express my keen interest to provide Kebab with the most original (Taste) standards and high quality that I wish it would get your consent

[mrbojangles]

I'm a tad richer today, than i was yesterday. The only problem is, i've now got one less day in which to spend it all, before i pop my cloggs
