Well, bonus is generally a month's salary. Clark was a VP of R&D at a multinational company. In 1989,yeah, I'd say you were pretty close.

I wasn't VP of anything until 1994. It wasn't until my cereal varnish patent got big that I got my VP title. I made $85k in 1998 and my bonus was only about $5k which was enough to cover the deposit. I only said I'd fly everyone down because what people don't realize is that my family can all drive to my house except for Eddie and his family. Both my parents and Ellen's live close enough to drive (which is why they all showed up at the same time 2 weeks before Christmas). There is no way in hell I'd fly Aunt Bethany back for a pool because the thought of her in a swimsuit is nauseating.

Now I am retired and making a nice check from Old Navy which is helping to pay off the electricity bills each December.
