I have a 95% disability rating, but I'm not 95% disabled. In the military rating world, the two aren't the same. I receive 75% for my hearing loss, 10% for tinitus, 5% for vertigo, and 5% for my knees. All of it was connected to the initial service-connected disability that retired me in the first place. I lost my hearing while active duty and 1 ear works just enough for a hearing aid. Without it, I'm completely deaf though. The other ear has no function whatsoever and is just there for looks these days
The $150k comes from the cost of living in general in my area, plus a love of travel. If I don't get on a plane somewhere at least once a month, I go stir crazy (this year has been two trips to Vegas with another already scheduled, one to Jamaica, and two to Mexico). That, coupled with how it simply expensive my area... Of the 85 employees I have, I can count on one hand the number that make less than 6 figures, and most don't have college degrees (my business is in a niche market). My county in particular is ranked in the top 5 every year for highest incomes, home prices, etc.
We shall see what the days bring.... It's going to be an interesting ride before all is said and done.
