and i'm not talking about raman noodles and 5 room mates money... 
or spending 600 hours a month on personal writing, production and distribution
for a grand total of $60 a month in downloads...
or renting out your rooms / services for $35-$50 /hr. BEFORE expenses...
i'm talking about CAREERS that pay for education, retirement, children, student loans, health care, insurance, gear, transportation, mortgages, utilities, and DECENT to GREAT LIFESTYLES, etc.

ooooh, bitter?
sure there are a few here, but wha'd ya expect? you know the money is in the writing not the making of music. long live the statutory rate.

let's see, after you back out the wives who have corporate jobs with the healthcare and retirement accounts, people who are not in music full-time, i'd say your average person full time is about $20k per year. drop the wives and they're destitute with a serious illness.
and there's the few who are probably making well above that. probably not too many these days. legit anyways.
and you expected something different?
