He works full time and earns good money so it's not like he couldn't afford it. He didn't even mention a gift or a reason why. Am I being greedy or do I have good reason to be annoyed with him?

He knew it was my birthday, he had plenty of hints. He didn't forget, he got me a card.

I'd be fuming!!! I'd discuss it with him and tell him how it made you feel. Otherwise this is going to come up again and he won't think you mind.
Tell him it hurt you.

You should be EXTREMELY annoyed if he's forgotten!! Not like you just sprang it on him.....he's known you for 2 years! It is gross neglect on his part! Sort of says..hey I'm not that bothered about something as important and personal as your birthday! pffft! ASK him for goodness sake and don't take any pathetic male ooops I forgot excuse! He is well out of order! Geez does he really want to keep being this selfish in your relationship?? Doesn't he see he is heading for the door by doing this?? Imagine being married or something and he's forgotten your anniversary!! No sorry NO excuse for this...he owes you BIG time! You are busy too I take it....and I bet YOU never forgot when his was????
Oh and by the way.....
HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY RUTH FROM ALL OF US!!!!! X.X.X
2ND AMMENDMENT....
Ok so he knew and only got you a card! Same deal....that is stingy mean and thoughtless......sort of like just buying you a boquette of flowers at the service station and a car freshener!!!! What it is actually saying is not I love you....it is saying you are only worth a card!!!

I'd probably be hurt too. Twenty-five is kind of a landmark birthday. Does he get you gifts for other holidays? Did he at least get you a card? It's not a matter of him just forgetting about it, is it? I don't blame you for being annoyed. I'm usually not about getting gifts at all, but it seems odd he wouldn't get you SOMETHING, even if it was just a rose from the gas station or something!

no u should not be annoyed
coz if he works full time it may be that he is a bit busy but if he has given u a card it shows that he is thinking of u
dont think about the gift but look the love in his card and his feelings
respect his feeling and if u really love him forget the gift and just think about his care coz getting a real love is very tough in this world

I'd give him a couple of days to see if he doesn't have something really special planned as a surprise. If you still don't get anything I'd ask him why he didn't get you anything. Your birthday is the one day of the year that is your special day and you should be able to expect something from your boyfriend. You aren't being greedy.

WHAT do you think?
ok you've got the option of forgiving him for forgetting your birthday.
You can do it back to him when his time comes around (at least until he mentions it) so HE can know what it feels like
but really, the truth is that's just a big disapointment. the guy should be eager for an excuse to give you a treat, but some guys are like that, with my limited knowledge I don't think he really meant anything bad by it, he just forgot.
what are you going to do to make him remember next time?
i'd suggest clamming up on him or just plain asking him how he's going to make it up to you 'cos that's just slack man! i'm sorry to criticise your man, but it is!!

No you are not greedy at all, at least he can say happy birthday, but there may be an excuse for him he works to much. There is no present OK but did you spend quality time on your birthday? If no there may be problems. Try to talk to him but be gentle

I'd say you were justified in expecting a present! Maybe he forgot? It's all I can think of. You do need to ask him though - not buying a gift or even acknowledging your special day doesn't sound like he has a lot of respect for you! See if you can guilt him into buying you something special ;-)

u're not being greedy!
wanting a gift doesnt mean that u want him to spend money on you but it means that you want the attention you deserve after 2 years..
did he say happy birthday or anything ?
maybe he 4got of confused it with another date its possible..
or maybe he's preparing a surprise that didnt finish on time =)
wait 4 a while then talk to him abou it =)

What a pig, of course you should expect a gift, after all you have been together for 2 years. He is a lazy good for nothing, dump him!
Luckily I am free this evening!!!
