Ye gods, but that is an obscene amount of money.
Brings up a point of curiousity for me: what sort of money, exactly, do
people make? I know in a vague way what my parents gross, but since
they're running their own business that doesn't mean much. Last I heard,
once business expenses were subtracted, we were somewhere under 20k a
year but that still doesn't mean much... and, now that I think of it,
isn't necessarily right either. Gah. Myself, I thought I was doing great
when I was making £240 a week (about $350) for 60 hours a week or so of
work... when I start working this January, realistically, I'm going to be
paid whatever my parents can afford to pay me, but practically I think
the going wage for a trained herdsman is 15-20k.
Er, is that not a lot?
