This tale tells us loud and clear that being born with only one kind of intelligence isnät nearly enough to make it through life.  How is it that someone with this kind of income is not better off by now?  

But really it's not the income that is missing, it's how it's spent.  Some people really live on another
planet.  I figure I can live on 27 000 and still keep my house and cottage and car.  And travel some.
But my grocery bill isn't 1000 a month and none of my expenses are anything like the good but foolish doctor.   It's hard to take people like this seriously.
