How much $$$$$$ do you make?

[drbill]

Hmmm... let's see. Based on the number of different lotteries I won today and the people who want to give me millions for helping them transfer money, I'm estimating I made at least $100 million today alone!

< 250,000 does not count as "freakin' loaded".

In my case, Fed, State, Local taxes eat about 50%
Add quarterly estimated tax payments for the next year.
Tithing and other charitable gifts
Two kids in college - $20,000/year each (forget about grants)

$250,001 and up is pretty far from "I'm freakin' loaded"

Depends on how long, how many expenses, and how "up"

I always laugh when people talk about how expensive scuba is.

Peter and I were headed somewhere with our dive gear, including scooters, and calculated we had about $20K of equipment in the car. That's for two of us. $20K will buy you a promising three year old horse who knows almost precisely NOTHING. It won't buy you the saddle or bridle to ride it with, and it won't pay the $500 to $1000 a month it costs to keep the horse in a stable. And it won't pay the $500 to $1000 per competition to show the horse. (Oh, and BTW, to buy a competitive dressage horse which has enough training to show will cost from $40K up into the millions, and it is not surprising I don't own one )

Everything's relative.

By contrast, I spent a grand total of about $600 on all the gear and classes I need to rig basic toprope setups and rock climb outside. The local crags don't cost anything to go to, so unless I want to start another kind of climbing, or get to the point where one of my ropes needs to be replaced, that's all the money I'll ever have to spend.

$600 barely covers me for 4 dives (including hotel room and gas to get there) in OBX.

Diving is definitely a priority for me, and I don't mind spending money on it, but it's certainly not cheap.

SCUBA is a pretty expensive activity to get into.....

I stopped making money when the secret service started getting close..

Very true. It's not cheap for me either.

I have four very expensive hobbies: flying, diving, sailing, and skiing. I also have a wife who is not interested in any of those four hobbies. I gave up flying because it just got exhorbitantly expensive and because I fixed airplanes in another life, no longer found the need to be around them on my days off.

I have found ways to dive, ski, and sail relatively cheaply, so I can hang on to those hobbies. Now if I could only talk mama into being interested in them... It ain't gonna happen.

I like your Republican campaign banner. Your choice of ticket in this race is perspicacious.

I may copy it.
