Poor JF extrapolated from data available... > JF Mezei <jfmezei@teksavvy.com>, riding his little bike around > Montreal, took the time to enviously write about Americans: > >>The american dream of owning a home with white picket fence, 2.5 >>children, 3 SUVs, 4 TVs was possible when you had skills nobody else >>had and when your employer had unique products not made anywhere else. > > Poor Canadians, nothing to do but spend their entire lives staring > jealously across the border. > > He's close... I only have two Expeditions and an F150, 2 children, 200 ft of tall cedar fence in the back, and 3 TVs (but several PCs), my skills are comparably modest and I employ myself. My yougest, a daughter, works for a company recently purchased by a cagy investor, at 31 makes a salary nudging 6 figures (not counting the bonus), drives a Mercedes and helps sell shit to Canadians unable to figure out how to do it themselves....
