scottbre 0 #1 October 6, 2004 Ok, I'm sure we're all curious. So since this poll can be as anonymous as you want it to be, let's find out what the stats on skydivers' gross (before tax) income is. No point in being dishonest since noone will know you said one thing or the other. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinney29 0 #2 October 6, 2004 This should be interesting. Now what percentage of that monet goes to skydiving related stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #3 October 6, 2004 QuoteThis should be interesting. Now what percentage of that monet goes to skydiving related stuff. Approximately 5% of my yearly income goes into skydiving, including travel expenses, and I make about 75 jumps a year, while at the same time making house mortgage and car payments. Luckily my wife works too or I would only afford about 15 to 25 jumps a year and no air fare or long trips...

flyhi 24 #6 October 6, 2004 I bet you'll find that people will be more willing to tell you about their sex lives than how much money they make. That they save for those with whom they are intimate.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #9 October 6, 2004 Dayum! 4% of the people who have voted make over $500,001 a year?? That's impressive! My guess is that would make them either doctors or lawyers. Cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doctors make $3-400K. It's probably just people involved in organized crime like lawyers and crack dealers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a real doctor (if you mean education and such), but I play one in bars. Drinks are about $3. If they have a problem, buy me a drink, I'll look into it for ya (so to speak ).

Nightingale 0 #16 October 6, 2004 well, I do make a few bucks for the occasional jump ticket by selling pin necklaces and skydiver teddy bears. I have people send me photos of their jumpsuits/rigs, and make jumpsuits/rigs for teddy bears to match as close as I can. It isn't great money, of course, but it does pay for jump tickets every so often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also a student living on loans and less (some of the loans also go towards household bills to make up for the fact that I'm not working).It's your life, live it!
