Exactly! Not underpaid, not overpaid. Not paid at all, and by choice!

This thread reminded me of the Salary Theorem, which states that "The less you know, the more money you make", which has been proven mathematically.
Here's the proof that I saw on the Web.
Fact #1: Knowledge is Power
Fact #2: Time is Money
We know that: Power = Work / Time
And since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money,
it is therefore true that Knowledge = Work / Money
Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of Work done.

The IRS seems to think I have income, though (drat!). But still, I think retirement is the perfect job for me.
