[Home Improvement] How much were Tim and Al paid for being on Tool Time?

Tim owns a big house and cares for three kids and a wife and buys countless amounts of tools and other stuff. Tim and Jill can afford to go to shows, sporting events, go to fancy restaurants and they don’t care when they lose an expensive reservation somewhere. Al lives in an apartment, owns nothing cool and never goes any where. Either Al makes a whole a lot less or has a HUGE savings account.

Tim Taylor and his family live in Detroit during the 90s. Detroit is shit cheap and they could buy a nice house for less than 50k. A mortgage on that is like $300/mo including insurance and tax. 

If Tim made ~100k/year he’d have a ton of extra money leftover. This is a fairly reasonable amount for a midwestern tv personality from the 90s. 

If he lived in an expensive place like SF or NYC the. He’d be making 200k or more and have a much smaller place and fewer toys.
