That is what I meant by "never".
I can not have a pet right now because I travel 2-3 weeks a month and it is not fair to board for long periods.
I aplogize if I appear to be bragging. I will not comment on my situation anymore.
Started off on the right foot here, it seems.

I note that noone included the size of their genitalia. C'mon, folks, we need that critical data.

*splort*
But for the heck of it...
age: 30(me)/31(dh)
income: More than enough
expenses: about 40% of that
net worth: nicely positive and growing
stuff: 2 cars, off-brand golf clubs, ipod nano, far too many books, a fair number of foodie toys, about 5 computer towers in various states of disassembly/function. (this is what happens when you marry a software developer, ladies...)

Well, "after I retire" would indicate you plan on retiring.  And the fact you can do volunteer w*rk full time is usually a dead giveaway that you're retired...at least by how many would define it.

Actually I live in the office (small startup)... it's not bad, I have my own closet and it's usually pretty warm since it's directly next to the server room.
