I got in a discussion with a coworker today about FU money. We were testing something out, I made a minor mistake, and CW jokingly said "you're fired!" to which jokingly I said "ok!" CW expressed how "it sure would be nice" to have FU money, and kinda-sorta asked how it's possible. I said "well, do you see what kind of car the CEO and I drive?" (CEO drives a 2003 Honda Civic, I drive a '97 Geo Prizm)
Cue the "oh, but you don't wanna be left on the side of the road" comments, to which I responded that such a situation had happened to me precisely once in twenty years. Coworker drives a late model quad cab pickup truck for her 45-minute commute. As does her spouse. They have one kid left at home, and their family's preferred extracurricular/hobby is racing cars. Which, of course, comes with the need to buy a trailer for the car and to sleep in when they're out of town. Coworker is probably 10 years older than me.
