This thread has just been survey responses so far. Anybody noticed anything interesting/worthy of discussion? I noticed that a lot of the "conventional BFC wisdom" like buying used cars doesn't seem to be commonly practiced in here.

Also, lots of people being ambiguous about their income or editing it out. Are you worried your fellow goons will kidnap you for ransom? I promise I won't but can't speak for others.
