You don't really need to be rich. A Dr or a lawyer (I should say a good one) can esily grease more than a million a year. With that kind of a salary and some good investements..........you could buy a lot of model jets over the years. A $20,000 model is just pennies when you make 7 figures. There are a LOT of modelers making that much money in Florida.
I personally know Cardiologists that make $40K a week. That's two Ultra Bandit's a week.

Also know some good lawyers that made $1500 an hour, and are now in jail. [:@]
