Every time I've ever played an MMO, I've grown very rich in the game. I can buy whatever I want, my character destroys everybody else's, I buy nice things for people I like. Life is good. When I'm poor in the game, I feel stifled, weak, and useless.

I've been poor IRL my entire life. I've never made more than $20,000 in one year, and I'm 26. I decided to go to graduate school rather than make money. I'm on the verge of starting up some online business, but the lure of the virtual world remains strong.

I want to know what it feels like to have a ton of money. By this, I mean you make over $40,000 per person in your household.

I need a new carrot to chase
