Interesting PEW Poll

[W2R]

Not this myth again.

Buffet's home is usually shown from the front, so it doesn't "look" big.

But when you view an aerial shot its size (~6,600 sqft.) is obvious.

Oh!! I am so disillusioned. I had no idea that his house was that big.

It's tiny compared to his buddy Bill Gates' house.

I think for both the size of the house reflects the size of the ego. 6.6K sq ft for one of the wealthiest people in the world is pretty modest IMO.

Besides, Buffet is one of the few gazillionaires that made it the hard way - all stock, no options.

As to the lawn mowing, it's exercise. Why pay a gym when you have yard work

Yeah. Plus my yard is tiny so it's easier than a gym workout.

As far as the poll is concerned, I'm right in the middle.

Based on 2017 actual gross income, including a large one-time capital gain on the sale of a rental house... upper. Based on 2018 planned gross income, including Roth conversions to the top of the 12% bracket.... middle. If I decide to convert into the 22% bracket... upper. Based on FIRECalc spending at 95%... upper.

Pretty useless IMHO.
