My dad took the task of counting all the payout notes and ended up with about 80,000 a year but that's for two people , also take note that's not adding most of the electric motors aluminum copper brass and all those metals. So youd be looking at around roughly 90,000 they made last year alone . So it would end up being around $45,000 per person if you really do it full time and put the effort to it , make friends with plumbers hvac companies you might have to pay , give half of what youre gonna make and they'll always call you when they get metal.

My gross revenue last year was high, but with expenses my net was almost zero. Most of the basics were met. Would I like more, yes, but I have made a trade off. Lifestyle is more important to me than a new truck. It is all about perspective. I would not trade my freedom and limited income for a six figure salary to sit in an office all day.
