Once again, read the article I posted. You'll see that most even big name musicians are broke.

By the way, I thought you've already learned from the recession that those driving around in nice cars with neat-o material objects aren't necessarily rich. (In fact, more often than not, far from it).

lol true, after they got on MTV Cribs, VH1 Behind the Scenes schedules them for an interview in 18 months to discuss how they lost their riches.

The point I was going after was they make the money, I'm not saying they know how to spend it wisely. They make more than programmers.

I seen a statistic that claimed more than 50% of all lottery winners claim bankruptcy within five years of winning.

I just read another article about Netflix hired on a bunch of rep's and warned them about a massive flood of angry emotional subscribers... this is common, Dish Network did this to us when they changed their programming plan names from something like America's Top 100, to Top 120 ... etc ... this confused and surprisingly pissed off a LOT of customers. "what are my extra 20 channels and hope you know i aint paying shit extra!!" ... I dealt with quite a few calls from pissed off customers with that. I was the one who took the escalated calls, meaning, if a customer was irate, it would get passed on to me.

Anyhow, my question is ... what are the other legal options of streaming movies? Prices? Library quality? If I were to leave Netflix, where should I go?

Like I said, less than 100 musicians in the whole country make more money than your AVERAGE software engineer working in California. And I'm probably being generous.

(NOTE - I'm talking about musicians who play THEIR OWN music in THEIR OWN bands only). Radiohead doesn't count because they're not American musicians. I'll even spot you 4 - the 4 guys in Metallica. See if you can come up with 96 more.

Example A.. Eddie Jackson - Queensryche

Example C... Warren Haynes, Various

Estimated Net Worth 17 Million

My point is there is money, as much as Love wants to counter, but I just think a lot of them squander that money they do make instead of reinvesting it or throwing it around an making it rain.

That said.. another source looking at average salary.. fits more in line with your stance.. heck MickeyD's worker makes more than some. 😉

What some of this doesn't take into account as well is endorsements and money gained to the artist (once known).

You have to pay it back. The vast majority of bands are lucky to break even. The ones who make even six figures are a very small minority, and they don't do it consistently. One bad selling album and your career is almost always done.

Then guess what? You gotta pay it all back.

Even Tool and Enimen, I can almost guarantee you that 20 years from now, my net worth will dwarf their COMBINED net worth. And I'm a slacker.

Pack - Good stuff. Good to see there are a few that actually have a decent net worth.

Now, like I said, take out the ones who aren't American. Also, look how many in that bunch signed pre-1990 contracts. The vast majority of them signed pre-1990 contracts.

I wanna believe you, but you're not being logical at all and you're completely ignoring outside revenue such as endorsements.

It's easy to pound your chest and say I'll have a higher net income than so and so in X years when you're a private person that will never disclose information that would support your boasts.

Tool Kevin Maynard couldn't find it

KoRn singer Jonathan Davis $45 million
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/rock-stars/jonathan-davis-net-worth/

Evanescence singer Amy Lee $12 million
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/singers/amy-lee-net-worth/

Eminem $115 million
http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/rappers/eminem-net-worth/

I suppose that site is unreliable.

WAIT!! You threw ANOTHER wrench into this, are they AMERICAN??!?!?!?

I won't be completely obtuse to your point, I'm sure the AVERAGE musician makes less than the AVERAGE programmer ... which is just common sense if you ask me and is as obvious as the sky is blue.

In high school, I don't recall any group saying "HEY we should get together to code" in their basement, but I do remember and still see a lot forming bands faster than they can fill out a job application.

dfosterf (17h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (17h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (17h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (22h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
