Necessities being food, shelter, clothing. <BR/><BR/>It's important to have enough money saved up so that one could live off of it for a long time. I'd say 9 months or more. Wouldn't it be less stressful if a studio told you a hiatus was coming up, and you could say "Hey no worries. I got $25k in the bank!"C.M.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08225943050161379371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-15386710138714496022008-09-04T10:20:00.000-07:002008-09-04T10:20:00.000-07:00Whether for luxuries or necessities, the principle...Whether for luxuries or necessities, the principle still stands:<BR/><BR/>Don't spend money you don't have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-40049201441990020772008-09-03T18:54:00.000-07:002008-09-03T18:54:00.000-07:00You got it right Dave...Im not on the show...

We all know the stress that animation brings. And most of us do it because its in our soul. We love it. We also know that things like this happen. Good Luck to all the crew members.
