Salary?

[Grizzlies1982]

You're an engineer! It's K in my world as well.

I'm not an engineer. In 35 years with a Fortune 200 company, I never once saw the metric term, K, associated with dollars. Meters, grams, yes, dollars, no.

yea! Uh, it's not necessarily a metric term. I suspect you're a paper shuffler and don't do any calculations in your job.

Can we please have Wahlberg edit all posts from M to K. I'm getting confused.

Won't go back to edit all the posts but I will help you and the others with this memory device:

"K" = Kilo. This is the unit of weight used when measuring your pot purchases.
"M" = Money. This is the monetary unit used to pay for said purchases.

Look, I can't help if you won't pay attention in class. Don't make me rap your knuckles!

They make rings for buyers? I saw one that read 10k. Another had 18k. Yet another had 24k. Imagine that... bling to mark your buys.

 

[argh!]

nah, k = 10 to the third, = 1000; the $ designation comes from the $ sign in front of the numbers.

175 is a lot of clams to be a football coach.

"K" is kip or *1000...

That may be so brint, but $227,500 houses in MSLA are pretty much ghetto, or the quality of manufacture is such that sneezing wrong inside will cost a couple $M/K to repair....In Helena you can get 3 -4X the house for several thousands less than MSLA...probably another among many reasons MVD will never leave CC.

Not necessarily true. Market in Helena has remained strong, whereas Missoula's leveled out after its peak. We have a house on the market right now with two acres and I would venture to say it would get a fairly close amount to its Helena value in Missoula. But you would not have the Hauser lake access over there.

 

[GrizPony]

Yaaaa gonna have to agree with Brint here, the Missoula real estate market is not scaring anyone away. Missoula is a very easy place to live and own compared to most places.

I will say, Missoula's challenge compared to other areas is that it's median INCOME for wage-earners here doesn't match up to it's housing prices. For the standard Missoulian housing is tough. For people from many other area it's not nearly as challenging. Over 50% of Missoula rents because of this factor.

Because our "progressives" fight capitalism. Discuss.

D=Dumb which is what this conversation is.
DD=awesome, the opposite of this conversation.

Progressives don't "fight" capitalism. We, in fact, support it. It's its excesses that need regulation ("fighting"?). Socialism is not communism, altho that distinction is lost on you.

 

[Da Boyz Mom]

M is Roman numeral for 1000.
k is short for kilo, which also means 1000

You are both right - now can y'all quit arguing????

Progressives are "socialists" in name only here in Missoula. Maybe you have remained true to your socialist roots, and that is super dee dooper dee! Here our Office of Planning and Grants denies, taxes and delays all development which raises housing prices due to restricted supply. Then the guilt-ridden trustafarians try to stop all industry so wages can stay low. This creates the general malaise necessary for the normal middle class to "give up" and look to government for its needs. P.S. Regulation = fighting capitalism in most instances.

I read somewhere that Stitt's salary in Colorado was $205,000.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

The question was what is the salary (and follow up: what is the contract duration). We got:

The Great M/K Debate
The Missoula housing market
The Golden housing market
The Helena housing market (for reasons I cannot explain, and where one can apparently buy a house for the price of a VCR)
Progressives fighting capitalism (or maybe not)

Nice work, gents.

Derail complete?!?!?!

Nailed it.

I read somewhere that Stitt's salary in Colorado was $205,000.

As quoted earlier, Stitt's base salary was $205,503 (not sure if that was 2014?), plus 5% of all ticket receipts with a guaranteed annual slary bump of no less than 5%. Counseling with somebody familiar with what could be expected in additional income the figure for radio/tv/ appearances/etc adds about another $40,000 per year.

With CSM's home attendance being negligible one might make a guess that if the $175,000 base holds true he might be one side or the other of about $215,000. One thing seems clear - he's not coming to Missoula to make more money, but to run his own show at a fabled D-1 program. If all that we hear about Stitt is true he could have made a hell of a lot more money going to a major FBS program as OC if that had been his objective.

In any case, his remuneration package is in the hands of the twits at the BOR.
