Maybe, but earning $300K a year really tells us little about someone's financial situation. I'm sure you can imagine a world in which many things - eg: Mortgage, medical costs, loan payments, family needs - can make $300K gross income disappear very quickly.

Also remember that that 300k really translates to $130-$180 (guestimate numbers) base and the rest if stock which has also been falling

Yeah, the stock is down about 25% last time I checked.

I'm a current shareholder, and will be a larger one if the price keeps going down :)
