if he did not live in Vermont, it likely would be hard to live well on that income in a major urban area, considering that they also need a condo in Washington for Bernie and Jane to live in when he's there. that would be a huge drain on their finances. So all in all, nobody is getting rich here off of Bernie's income.

Honestly, its just outrageous that Hillary Clinton doesnt see that these speaking fees are seen as bribes by so many of us. How could they not be?
