Not having to work 3 months out of the year is a pretty huge benefit IMO.

Although if I didn't do jack shit in those 3 months I'd probably forget a bunch of shit for my job. It's good to have consistency to keep the ol' mind sharp.

LOL! True. Well, I'll just have to represent for that field then.

If I had to guess, between Riot and his wife they have a combined pre-tax income of ~$80,000. I think Mikey B. makes slightly more than that so you're right you can throw Mikey B. in the crowd of people who make some baller dollars.

I think we had a discussion on the IndyDDR income hierarchy before but here's my revised 2015 list

MonMotha
Future SDP
Mikey B
Amp
Dr88
Ho
FluffyUmpkins
Random people who come here to ask about a problem on their DDR machine
Merk
Riot

I'm not sure where Potter fits in to that.

!!!Lodden thinks bet alert!!!
What do I think is the average income of the 9 people you listed (minus potter)? I have my number locked in. You and Brian are the betters.

Oh man. You guys ready for this? $70,444.

Pretty good line, IMO. Congrats to Brian.

I would have taken the under regardless cause the lower outliers are more notable than MonMotha and Mikey B currently. (In a year or so this should change dramatically.)

Here were my estimates:

MonMotha -- 120
Future SDP -- 100
Mikey B -- 80
Amp -- 70
Dr88 -- 70
Ho -- 65
Fluffyumpkins -- 60
Random people who come here to ask about a problem on their DDR machine
Merk -- 50
Riot -- 40

Which averages out to about 72. I figured I'd set a slightly lower line because Chad is a pessimist and I assumed Brian would be hovering around the 70 range

Damn if I was on Price Is Right I would be upset!

Merk: I'm going to request another list. This is the 'side hustle' list. This is income from a second job/skill/asset. Using money to make money (investments) is not a valid side hustle for the purposes of this discussion. Things like mowing lawns, baby sitting, Twitch broadcasting, freelancing (if not full time), artistry, renting out assets, and other such activities are all side hustles. Please rank top to bottom.

Literally no one on here does any side hustling unless you count MonMotha since his entire business is basically one giant side hustle.

Mikey B might have some side action but that's about it.

People have side hustles.

MonMotha - All hustle.
Future SDP - Will perform surgery and diagnoses for gangs off the books.
Mikey B - None I know of. Perhaps some side coding?
Amp - None I know of. Perhaps some side coding?
Dr88 - He's running some panels at conventions, but I don't know if he makes money off this.
Ho - Does various tech/production stuff for people.
Fluffyumpkins - Live-in landlord. You could argue that it's an investment, but I like to think of it as a side hustle.
Merk - Sports betting.
Riot - None I know of. Perhaps tutoring or summer school?
