It appears as though I'm not doing nearly as well as I thought I was...

We would do much better in Europe?

With some creative license, I'm at 34.5% (10/29) on the American list, 35.9% (14/39) on the European one. :)

From the yankee list - I get 13.8%:
  1. Beautiful Girlfriend (Darling Wife still fills this role!)
  2. Sports Car (multiple Miatas count, right?)
  3. Trophy Wife (again, Darling Wife to the rescue. She's a hawt red head, 20 years my junior!)
  4. Personal Chef (Darling Wife. I'm sensing a theme developing here)


From the continent - 24.1%:
  1. Smartphone
  2. Salary (though this seems an unnaturally low bar for the rest of the list)
  3. Second Home (oh boy, all good as long as inspections aren't required :P )
  4. Convertible Car (Woot! Miata: ALWAYS the answer!)
  5. Mulberry Handbag (pfft - got two mulberry trees. Close enough.)
  6. Two or more cars (oh hell yeah. got that one covered - even got two that run!)
  7. Mercedes (duh)

From Planet Reality - 100%:
  1. Partner who loves me/whom I love
  2. Health in sufficient quantities to stand up each morning and snuggle with Darling Wife each night
  3. A job that brings me satisfaction and
  4. Sufficient income to keep the zoo and whatever today's definition of family might happen to be fed, clothed, and housed.
