Yes I know everyone has a budget some guys like warren buffet 10k no biggie other $80 a week is a lot. Let face hobby is a worth while investment if clear you mine.

Last year I spent well under 20k. This year I have only spent just under 6k. I get plenty at home and some of the garbage in this game has greatly reduced my spending and disire to play as often as in the past.

and furthermore, I can't say that I really care.  

I seen 8 at about 80 that 600 one was less. My non saving expenses are about 6 k a year mostly child support so my it about 10%

You are a lucky man, with a take-home income of nearly $4 million.  (0.5% of $4 M is $20,000)

You never make real money in a career requiring a degree, and only rarely in one with a boss.  

And using absolutes is "never" a smart play  LOLOL

You've got clowns like scoed rambling about his Donald Trumpesqe fortune...shit, just make up any old shit and tell the board whatever you'd like.  You can tell the board that you're one of the Captains of Industry.  Who would know...let alone who would care?

I account for every cent. I can't sleep until every expense is recorded. I also balance my bank accounts daily. I could not live like you. I am very anal that way.

That's the code word for run...run like Forest  

My current income only allows me to see a provider every 2-4 months, although I see $500 to $800 per hour providers for usually 3 or more hours. I was doing more a couple of years ago when the market I work in was busier.

But that's down from 400%, so that's OK.  

I guess you haven't built the empire that so many others have.

then you aren't spending enough.  

Except that Oliver was a lawyer  LOL

Since there to get avereage there has to be a low number as well as high nunbers

Mine is close to 10% it get a food for thought. Way you worded you post you must be my ex wife.

In a 2008 article with the River Front Times, TER's founder commented that the average site user was "between 35 and 55 years old with a median income of $80,000."  Link to River Front Times article attached.  (FYI, I actually ran across this on Wikipedia a while back and PRS2005's post reminded me of it.)

I don't recall giving my income when I registered. Also, what's to keep a guy from inflating his income when he registers, if those questions are asked?

That interview was from 2008, so who knows?  Maybe TER had a different registration process back then.  Or maybe they had done a survey.  But I doubt all 27k users currently online are all multi-millionaires and billionaires.

...you don't seem to know too much about business.  Some accountants only do tax returns.

...There are over 2.5 million registered hobbyists on TER.  I'd guess they have more disposable income than the average American to be able to afford to hobby (ripmany not included) but I don't think billionaires would really need TER.

They said it had to do with some US treaty with the Netherlands, or something like that

"ouch" and "damn."

There have been dozens of polls taken here over the years, including age and annual income.

Too much and not enough.

money" or "discretionary funds" that gets stashed when convenient.

I'm sure it'll be fascinating.
 

I'm spending my kids inheritance on pussy, oh crap that's right, I don't have kids.

What percentage of my income is that? None of your damned business!

And I do hobby with that money but I know how much it was compair to my total of record expenses.

There is no way in God's green earth I could balance each of my 14 bussinesses' accounts daily. Especially given I do not directly run any of then anymore, haven't for years. It literally takes 15 minutes to do.  

Is such an ugly emotion.

Looking for a percentage I spent one percent it will only let me hobby once.

I would wonder about where he got his data.

but, I will concede he did a pretty good job defending himself against the good doctor. lol

I work with clients who have degrees, and 7-8 figure incomes.  I'd call that real money. Several have bosses, too.
