The pool in my area is fairly deep, as long as you are mainstream in your culture and lifestyle, but if you aren't, like me and most people on Agnostic, who are non-religious, hipsters, not very family-oriented, intellectual, etc., it really is more like a puddle. Esp. when in my case you also add in non-drinker as well, not matter how tolerant and open-minded I am about it. Not being very materialistic doesn't help at all either.

The pool on Agnostic is very wide, but about an inch deep, so it's all LD or nothing on here for most of us.

@TomMcGiverin I am not materialistic either. I never have been.

@Sticks48 We are a tiny minority, at least in most areas of the US. I now have the money to live much less cheaply than ever before, but I doubt I will change much in my habits or lifestyle, except maybe start taking a few nice trips each year.

@TomMcGiverin It is somewhat un-American.

@Sticks48 As Kurt Vonnegurt would say, like I give a flying fuck what most other people think about my patriotism or lack of conformity......

@Sticks48 I've heard that most other musicians aren't either. Except maybe the relative few who become big, wealthy stars......

@TomMcGiverin It would be a very frustrating career choice if you get into it full time for the money.

@Sticks48 I can imagine, just like acting. So many talented people trying and so relatively few that ever get rich out of it or even make enough dough to quit their day job, for that matter.....
