Well 2004 is over with. I was curious how much members of GA made in the last fiscal year? You can use this thread to brag if you wish. :)

I made between $45-50k. I hope to do better next year.
 
~$16k gross 1yr out of university working a pretty deadend security job part-time.

EDIT: Fiancee is making $26k (underpaid for what she does) in an administrative assistant position at the local university.
 
i came out this past year making just $486 that was for two months worth of work. So sad. But i've been given a lot of money this year. Which has been surprising. But its all gone somewhere. So now i'm poor.

B'z-chan: Will Work for Games
 
$6000 between a commission-sales summer job and a part-time university job. God damn, where did all that money go? I have only got about $1500 now...

I know your pain. I was flicking through old records from the summer, and it's awful looking at bank statements. So much money - where did it all go?

zero.

Your parents gave you 3k a month?! Is this including college fees or something?

shit, they put 36k in your bank account and the best you can call them is the "parental units" :lol
 
Incognito's situation is...understandable. I'll let him explain it if he feels like it.

I have no idea how much I made.
 
$2,392,411

And yet-- and YET-- I post here among the plebs. ;) :P


Eh, excluding my grandparents' generous gift to me from the sale of their house, I'd say I made about $11K, but I only worked for about 4 months in 2004 (quit my job in April); the $11K includes money earned at my former place of employment (a restaurant) as well as from tutoring during the semester last spring. Luckily I had saved up a nice chunk of change over the years from working, so I currently just live off that (and the largesse of my grandparents, who REFUSE to stop giving me money, no matter how much I tell them to keep it since they've already given me more than enough lol).


Funny story:

I went to NJ to visit my friend, and we were reminiscing about old acquaintances and stuff, and he tells me that this acquaintance of ours from HS became an engineer and now works for and partially owns an architectural company that supposedly builds expensive houses. My friend keeps in touch with the guy's brother, and they were talking one day and the kid's brother goes, "I hate my brother-- for Christmas, I got my mother a necklace; my brother got her a brand new BMW." :lol


Apparently, the kid's Christmas bonus was $90K, according to his brother (who wouldn't lie)-- lord knows how much he's making per year. :lol He was a really smart guy, too-- straight A's, but also a jock on the football team. He's 26 years old. Crazy. :P Another old friend of ours from the neighborhood apparently had some dot-com and sold it and is now a multi-millionaire and lives in California. And this guy was SUCH an airhead, too (good guy, but pretty much braindead). :P Life's weird that way. :)
 
It's very difficult to tell as I'm 100% freelance and I haven't done my taxes yet (and I'm afraid to). Probably $30k or so.

Wow, that's great. You should head over to OA and talk to this guy named Fanciebombjack (a.k.a. choochootraininabox)-- apparently, he also got a huge advance for his upcoming novel. ;) :P


Btw, are such hefty advances common, or have you already had something published that met with some measure of success? :D

FancieBombJack is a famous author, renowned for his amazing work, Prince Julius's Particolored Bonnet: A Sonnet-turned-Novella.

Ah, I see you're already familiar with that tremendous literary talent. :D Great minds tend to associate with one another, or so the saying goes... ;)
 
Maxwell House -- as much as I respect Innumeracy as a classic book, your avatar is too tall. Please resize to 90 x 120 or less.
 
Somewhere in the vicinity of $8,000 I think although that's not working much. Once I graduate and start full-time at the place I work at, I should do around 30-35k for the first year.

Enough that I won't discuss it. Didn't realize that some people here made so little.

Your law degree will pay dividends at some point-- when in doubt, just pull a John Edwards! :D

Did John Edwards sue Micheal Jordan for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress? I am also getting Jordan for the way he treated old Bill. Old man Jordan is gonna pay off my loans! :D
