Can't solve the mental grind side though.

I was privy to two of my son's paystubs this year. (I have done his taxes every year until this year).

After NY state and Federal taxes (not including his home state taxes which he has to pay estimated taxes on), and the deduction for housing ($70 per night in a hotel for half the month/home games) he had $18 PER DAY for food, gas, golf and other sundries. Oh, I guess he had to pay clubby fees out of that, too.

So, after golf, there was no money to eat. Priorities rolleyes
