With out specifics.
I make 10 cnd an hour at my job. which is part time b/c i'mn a student. for
ya'll in NYC what is it that you charge for lessons again? what do your
orchestras pay you? LOTS. and LOTS.
I make 2 bucks more than min wage. for a part time job or something a
studnet can do thats not too bad. I've supported my self on less. quite
content with 10. what does that equal in us dollars?
HOw about rent or morgages, I live in a house with 4 people. my rent is
still more than I make in a month. I moved here b/c I could no longer
afford to live in a VERY cold dark and damp basement suite, couldn't
pratice there.
pffft(the sound of one sticking theor tongue out at you)
