Your biased ;-)
(but i'm happy for you that you own your own home, have a wife and are 'cursed' with four kids, how do you get anything done is a complete mystery to me!)
But as John pointed out in the past, the online Enworld community (and friends) isn't the target audience of most print publications...
I also dig it that people get decently paid, but $45 is still a lot of money. My boss fills in my paycheck you know (i wish it wasn't so though), and that amount isn't infinite. Especiallly these months, i have to invest in a new computer setup, redecorate my room.. erm... my parents basement... erm... nevermind ;-)
