RE: The Bowhunters Salary
I do alright but its never enough now is it! I get a pension & health insurance for me and the boy, which is very important to me. I also was able to get paid to travel the world for the past 18 years, I've been to some pretty cool places which I NEVER would of been to in another job. Even the touring, constant traveling part of my Job got tiresome so I retired from the road again!

I would be willing to bet that even though this is anonymous, the results are definitely stretched. Just a guess though, I could be wrong.
It's kinda funny, because of thenumber of people in the thread that responded to what they were going to do with their $600 from the government (economic stimulus)and now there arean awful lot of us sayingthey make $75k+..........

People who earn six figures are in the top 5% of income earners in the country. Any time this question is asked, it always seems like we've got 3% of the 5% of the country here on this board.

My dad is anOwner/Operator trucker and last year, his fuel bill for the year was $85,000. If fuel didn't take so much, he would be living well...................

Actually.....the numbers don't surprise me that much. And as far as the stimulus package goes.....the adjusted gross income is what that's based on (I think.....based on doing my taxes, recently). I would think there were those who would make over $75K gross that would be eligible. I also think that the amt. goes down (and starts at $600) for those making more than $75K.
All a big guess, though[&:]

I know exactly what your dad is going through being I'm an owner/operator as well! My diesel fuel bill is right around 70,000 dollars right now a year, thats with one truck on the road putting 220 miles on a day 7 days a week. If diesel was even as cheap as gas I could be making allot more money!!!!!!! You people that burn gas consider yourself lucky compared to what I and others have to pay for in diesel. I lost 20,000 grand just last year alone because of the huge rise in the diesel price.
