Na.. not knocking it PK - it is above the average and sure ain't pocket change to anybody. At the same time, it's not exactly into the "rich" category - there are folks who do earn very serious money - don't mean grading em by how much they can stuff into their pockets - more on the basis of what they apply that money to and using it. There is a limited any person can spend money - else it's just bullshit and waste.
Get the impression from this thread that all that matters is some dollars - don't think that is true. There are far more "values" than money and they bring much more "satisfaction" than a load of dollar bills. Sure is the case with me and I sure don't consider myself "rich".
Can only say from the few people I know who are *seriously* wealthy - they worked for every dime and are not into wasting either money or time, but often, they get more of a kick/buzz out of making projects work - and along with that there is often some financial benefit.
