He's taken some huge pay cuts and his income goes up and down depending on what the market demands. Just because another person pays their nanny $29 and that nanny is comfortable, does not mean that we are willing to pay our nanny that much as there are so many factors involved in the decision for pay.

It doesn't much matter to me what you can afford to pay. What does matter to me, is that MY employer can afford MY rates. Only one is perfect for me.

That's great if you can find an employer to meet your salary requirements but that is not always possible. The higher in salary you go, the less employers you are going to be available to. And, if they have a pay cut... luxury's like you go first!
