That can't have gone down well.

Not so much. My income keeps rising, and will likely continue to do so. I've already made enough property buys to keep me sheltered from the coming storms, and they are suitable such that I won't feel any huge need to buy more. I already own most of the big-ticket toys that I've wanted (discipline? we doan need no steenkin discipline!). The kinds of expenses I'm looking at in the near-to-mid future involve non-taxable things like colleges, criminal defense costs, and the like.
