US inflation 1995 $40,000 to 2010 would be $57,891.39 so yeh you are right.
and as anyone else, I am entitled to my opinion. He felt like alienating me as a "kid" without knowledge my financial situation, so my criticism of him is just as valid as his of me.
Sure, I don't know what he has as a daily driver or what is sitting in his garage, do you? But if he wants to lecture me on how fortunate I am to be a 26 year old "kid" with a 370, while graduating with a less prestigious education than his, I will entertain his thought with deconstructive criticisms.
Frankly, I worked hard, so I am not lucky for squat, I earned it, and that was why I reacted in my reply to him. I am surprised this post has conjured up such a stir, and apologize if anyone is sensitive to my harsh reply.
