I have plenty of disposable income, I just save a lot of money. I just had my business (I was self employed) crash after a two year run, and I'm cleaning up the wreckage right now.

I'm going back to college fairly soon. I already have enough saved up to live off of and pay a full year's tuition.

I don't play guitar.

My ex appreciated my personality just fine, actually, she loved me dearly, we just couldn't work because of the obscene distance (Canada). I'm sorry if being appreciated for who I am is too much to expect out of the average woman.

All I care about is money, it already is a priority. Hence, business that recently failed. Hence, having plenty of money saved up.

That chica thought I was poor. I live extremely frugally. My bank account is just fine. her fault for being stupid. I could afford on my income to pay all of her bills and food, all my bills and food, and all the bills and food of one of my roommates, and still have one or two hundred left over for random bullshit.

And that's not dipping into savings.

I'm planning on getting a nicer car, tbh. My car is too ugly. I hate to get rid of something that 'works', but it's just so fuck-ugly that I've got to get into a better vehicle. I was thinking about getting into more like an '02 year car, rather than my 91' Olds.

I've been poking around for a second job. A second job would catapult me into school in fairly short order. That or a car.

I'll start another business when the right opportunity or idea comes along. Most of my best ideas require 100-150k. I don't have that much.

Not taking it as a flame, it's just that through no fault of your own, you made some miscalculated assumptions about me.

I give off the appearance of poverty on purpose when in fact I have more money in my bank account than my father who earns twice what I do.

If a relationship is to be a purely mercenary transaction then I'd rather be alone or buy a wife from another country. I don't tolerate that kind of banal materialism in my girlfriends.

Again, I had a woman who understand and shared my values and appreciated me for who I am absent all other things. I don't see what's so hard about not being a completely vacant cavity of a person.
