Enough to buy my winery and bottle the purple punch.

As stated previously, there are too many variables to consider for an exact number.

B plan is up to the individuals decisions that they have made over the years.

OK. Here's a range of realistic "general numbers". Anywhere from 80K to 130K.

That's the part I NEVER understood!*? Can't these guys do simple math? Who in their "right mind" would EVER hub turn at night for less money than than they could get to just stay home and enjoy their retirement?
