No, I'm saying that "ordinary people" don't generally make anywhere close to $300,000 per year.
That being said, if one is running on principle and conscience as Keyes has always said he is, I'd think that making some sacrifices might be acceptable.
I also think that most of us here, if making that much money and sufficiently motivated, could find a way within a year or two to get all our bills (including the house and car) paid off and save up a couple of hundred thousand to pay for our run....but maybe not.
Well again Keyes sacrificed $200,000 a year in income. Of course, with speaking arrangements he has now this is hardly necessary.
