Now along with seeing how old everyone is I wanted to see in comparison what yearly wages were.

Looks like the range from $61,000 to $80,000 is taking the lead.

Who need money though, I thought the purpose of getting into this hobby is to be broke.

well this is gross I believe and current combined income of self and significant other income. In 6 months I get another raise I hope and that typically 5K but not enough to pull me up another bracket!

I know of 1 household that is over the 200,000 point and they dont want to have anything to do with keeping fish. Of course they live on a lake so they can catch fish whenever they want to hehe.

It's "yearly house hold income". I was just curious how much income people on the board have to be in this expensive hobby. And it's gross.

who cares how much money you make, just because you make more money does not mean you save more money. I will make 30k more this year than I did last year but that does not mean I will save that much more. My philosofy( spelling) is why make it if you can't spend it?

money!

got a little miffed today when I interviewed someone at my job and the boss gave them .50 cents less an hour than I make and have been there five years!!

I have the majority of the "real" resposibility (not stretching) and I have to work tommorow because we are short again. Plus I had to grind my teeth as I heard them name a wage for a person who has not worked in the field for 16 years!! just isn't fair!!

thats what I keep telling myself when I think about all the papers I am preparing to write when I go back to school this fall.

We make the beds we lay in and I am getting ready to add some cushion to mine!!
