Default So, how much do YOU make?

With all this talk about money questions and some folks being offended by the gear lists in signatures, I thought I would save everybody some time and just cut through to the REAL question.

Uh oh, was I not supposed to ask THE question? Oops.

I'm about to retire in two months. So, the answer to your question? Moving from something pretty sweet to nothing at all. Sorry if that sort of answer disappoints.....

15k a year if I'm lucky.

Someone snickered at an om28 being my holy grail guitar. Well, that's why.

After all the questions/comments about whether to list your guitars, cost of shirts, your most expensive pick, do cheap guitars always sound bad, do expensive guitars always sound good, should what you're allowed to spend on a guitar be limited by the extent of your talent, etc., ----- I was tempted to ask the same question.

About half what I made before I retired. But the commute is easier.

I'm not going to reveal that on the AGF.
I have expensive accountants and lawyers who ensure that I earn enough to have a super yacht in Monte Carlo, but not enough to have to pay any tax.
