Re: current net worth vs. liftime earnings
[ QUOTE ]
current net worth : lifetime earnings from any work/poker/gambling pretax
[/ QUOTE ]
If, in someone's lifetime, they have won 6k playing poker, but lost 3k playing other casino games, I would consider the income to be 6k. I would consider the 3k to be a loss of net worth, but not a decrease in income, the same as I'd consider 3k spent on some other consumable.
I also would consider interest and dividends from investments as income. I'm ok considering capital gains as a net worth adjustment, but not "income."
However, using your definiton I'd be around 30k:240k, so 1:8.
