the economy

[Richard Brekne]

Wim lives in Hawaii. Expensive from the get go.  And 8 grand a month, if 
you can get it as a piano tuner (and far from all can) at say 10 months 
a year is only 80,000 dollars a year. You have to buy your own medical 
insurance. Even low yield med guarantee insurance costs very very much. 
House expenses.... how much do you pay a month for buying on a 30 year 
loan a medium priced house in an average house market over there these 
days ?  It all adds up very fast. What about kids... ? cloths, schools, 
college...  Ok on a simple life setup I suppose on can get by on a 
shoestring.... what is that over there these days...  30 grand a year or 
so ?  But most folks want to at least have enough money for their 1 week 
vacation on the beach... even if its in a WalMart 3 man non rain tight tent.

        With due respect, perhaps someone has some high medical bills,
        or gambling debts, or an airplane habit. What someone spends
        his/her money on is a personal choice. If s/he needs to work
        hard to have the income necessary to pay for his/her choices,
        that's a lot better than what Tom Petters (local wheeler/dealer
        who's now in jail on Billion dollar fraud charges) did.

    20 pianos-tuning only, not including PR, regulation, repair,
    accessories, at an average of $100 minimum per piano, would yield
    $2,000, or $8,000 permonth. You must have MASSIVE expenses and/or
    debt if you can't get by on that. If you add all the other extras
    above, you could easily add another $2,000-$5000 per month.
