Are you being spoiled?

[womzilla]

For some reason, I find the quizzes linked to by docbrite irresistible. My few comments in brackets.

Do you have:
(x) your own cell phone
( ) a TV in your bedroom
( ) an iPod

( ) TiVo or a generic digital video recorder
(x) high-speed internet access (aka not dialup)
( ) a surround sound system in bedroom
( ) dvd player in bedroom
(x) at least a hundred DVDs
(x) a childfree bathroom
(x) your own in-house office [Sorta--we each have our own room for a study, and when I freelance, I work out of it.]
( ) a pool
( ) a guest house
( ) a game room
(x) a queen-size bed [Actually king-sized plus a twin.]
( ) a stocked bar
(x) a working dishwasher
( ) an icemaker
(x) a working washer and dryer
( ) at least ten things from a designer store
( ) expensive sunglasses
( ) framed authentic art (not lithographs)
( ) Egyptian cotton sheets or towels

( ) a gym membership
(x) large exercise equipment at home [One large treadmill.]
( ) your own set of golf clubs
( ) a pool table

(x) local access to a lake, large pond, or the sea [Not that I've ever done water activities in them, but I love seeing the large bodies of water which surround my homeland.]
( ) your own pair of skis
( ) enough camping gear for a weekend trip in an isolated area
( ) a boat
( ) a jet ski
( ) a neighborhood committee membership
( ) a beach house or a vacation house/cabin

( ) a personal trainer
(x) good credit
( ) expensive jewelry

( ) at least $100 cash in your possession right now

(x) a stock portfolio [Two companies, both of which I've worked for.]
(x) a passport
( ) a horse

Apparently, a score of 40 or higher means "spoiled". At 25, I suppose myself to be slightly over-ripe.
