Omg. I'm getting a routine surgery done that will take less than an hour and I'm being more of a whiny bitch than you are staring at a 10 hour surgery with your chest open to the atmosphere.

I should be thanking you for a little perspective.

Do you think we should be teaching kids about personal finance at a younger age?

Wow, for that kind of money they should make a lampshade or something out of it for you.

What was your score?

If you're really good you can pull down six figures. Depends on how much of your work is straight pitches, royalties from books and whether any of your content is syndicated.

I don't do any ghost writing because it doesn't build my brand, but the money can be good. If you're really good you have our dismal educational system working in your favor. There's a big market for quality content.

You have to figure out where the money is and carve out a territory. I specialize in south Florida from Orlando south to Miami. Originally moved here to cover the end of the shuttle program and transition to private space lift. Glad that's over.
