That's about right. I know a few guys that left the rig making $80k, to become "champions" making $1,000/mo.

How do you become a millionaire?
Start out with 2 million then go racing.

I own some non producing mineral rights. Does that count?

I do spend my day poking holes in the ground. Good days for me is poking dry holes. I have hit lots of water though. The only gas I hit was in gas lines. Those wern't good days.
