It's an interesting sentence. He's not saying "the wealthiest", he's saying, "the luckiest", and we're implying in this that he is making a reference to "the lucky wealthy." I actually find this odd, sure there are people born into wealth and so forth, but a lot of people have worked hard for their wealth as well. And frankly, I'm not convinced by any degree that "the other 99 %" is 100% comprised of people who actually want to work rather than feeling they deserve entitlements because someone else is richer than them. So, perhaps Buffett really does mean luck, not hard work -- I certainly notice some people at the poker game get consistently better cards than I do! Oh wait, maybe they are only showing when they have good cards...hmmm... Marc

My BlogWorking hard does not necessarily lead to being rich thus, Buffet could have (and probably had) included those who earned their $$ through other ways than inheritance (Inheritance being the object oriented way to get rich). According to Buffet is seems you still need "luck" [citataion needed] to translate the hard work (and even great skills) to big money.
Never underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of others.

You can't make missus jokes yet. You're still in the first year - this year is out of bounds to you for wife jokes.

Just wait until you've been married a few years. Then you'll be lucky if you even get 0.5%. :)

Treat stressful situations like a dog, if you can't eat it, play with it or screw it, then just piss on it and walk away. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.

Hardly. Fiancé status still has training wheels. Now he's moved to the Ferrari of wage loss.

Until her "slack" was "cut" and she became a fiancée.

I'm not the 1% and I'm also not convinced more free stuff (entitlements?) are going to make my life any better. I'm content, and I'm also tired of political blabbering implying that I am on their side just because I'm not in the 1%.
