Annual Salary?

[S'mon]

I answered 35-45k since I make 40k. My wife makes around 44k so we're doing good. I love havning a sugar momma.

Me too. In London it's vital.
I too answered for individual income, naturally.

Yeah, I do that too. I just wish they'd up the amount to $12,000.

That's just the man tryin' to keep you down.

Does your wife work? I ask because we found out that my wife and I could both get money taken out if we wanted to. Maybe you could get the 5000 taken out of yours and she could get 5000 taken out of hers.

Yes she does.

That's interesting - I'll have to look into that. For some reason I didn't think we could do that, but I will check on it...

I would have preferred a poll option for 'pittance'.

From Rich Guy's Last Will & Testament: "To my loyal butler, "You There", for his decades of service, I leave a pittance to be paid in 20 equal installments of one twentieth of a pittance each." -- Futurama

... how much free time do you have (is it enough, just right, too much)?
... how much do you spend on RPGs?
... are RPG products overpriced?
... how valuable is your RPG time as compared to your other off time?

- Is it ever enough? I can't really complain though - it's pretty well balanced at the moment.

- Around $5,000/year

- Not for the amount of value I gain from them.

- Equal. While at points in my past it may have been more important, my free-time activities are all equally worthwhile and important at this point in my life.

I'm in the upper (though not top) of the scale, with a wife and daughter.


> ... how much free time do you have (is it enough, just right, too much)?

I could use more.


> ... how much do you spend on RPGs?

$40/month but I splurge every now and then.

> ... are RPG products overpriced?

No, they are underpriced.

> ... how valuable is your RPG time as compared to your other off time?

Very.

It would be really interesting if we could cross-tabulate this poll with some others like...

... how valuable is your RPG time as compared to your other off time?

I would say that people are playing the amount of RPGs in their free time such that the value from their RPG time is roughly equal to the value from their other off time. If that isn't the case, you should be gaming either more or less

That would be interesting! Here's my data point: 86k a year, I could use a little more free time, but all in all I'm happy, I spend a few hundred ($200-500?) a year on RPG material these days (way down from 4-5 years ago when I was picking up just about anything d20 that was released) and in general I don't think rpg products are overpriced. My rpg time is very valuable to me, largely because I have so many other off time pursuits (did I mention the four kids?) many of which are not "relaxation based."

Another DINK here.

Stuff like that.

I answered the poll with my income not the household (which would put us into the 65K range). It sounds like alot, but that's before taxes and our neighborhood is going through a period of higher property values (good for when we sell, but not so great right now taxes wise).

As for Eric's questions:
1. I don't have as much free time as I would like, but I find enough time to do a little work on my campaign settings and play some WoW.
2. Around $2400 a year give or take. More when I was single and when the D20 boom first hit, but not nearly as much now. Miniatures from D&D, SW, Mageknight, and a few metal figs get most of my game dollar now.
3. While some books seems to be getting a bit pricey, $25 - 50 for a book I can game with for the rest of my life isn't very expensive at all.
4. My gaming time whether it be RPG's, boargames, or video games is precious to me. It's time to unwind and not think about anything else but the imaginary challenge in front of me. However, I find that more of my gaming time is being taken up by work, wedding plans, family stuff (funerals lately), and the occasional Royals game with friends. I don't get to play much more than the occasional bordgame with my fiancee anyway, so while I miss more focused RPG gaming it's not that big of a deal to me.
