Well, yes, of course before taxes, assuming this is an above board job, and not under the table. Seems PP has white guilt, or wealth guilt. I live in an affluent neighborhood, and most of my neighbors are elderly, but there's a guy here who is about 26, who inherited cash and he does something similar. He tells everyone that he can catch that he is just a regular joe, and wishes he had had to work when he was young doing chores, and getting a job as a teen. He thinks he would be more accepted if people realized he had similar experiences as they, growing up. Of course, the reason people don't want to hang around him isn't due to his easy wealth, they ignore him cause he is a PITA blowhard. Geez.
