Okay, consider me curious... but after going through Turnabout Ablaze,
Spoiler:
Edgeworth mentions cutting Gumshoe's salary, and Gumshoe replies that if he did, he'd barley have enough to buy a pack of noddles.


One pack of noodles is $1.50 here in the U.S... a full pack is $10.75

SO then... what exactly is gumshoe's salary?

I'd say around 12 bucks then?

.................A buck fifty for a pack of instant noodles? Where are you getting your ramen, a gourmet Asian market? Most instant ramen packs run between 14 and 20 cents at the Wal-Mart.

That said, Gumshoe's salary must be pretty low.

Well, keep in mind just paying monthly expenses for someone living on their own can bring you down surprisingly low even when your salary is in the hundreds.

I always felt really sad to the bone just thinking about Gumshoe...I always imagined in some future game he'd be chief of police with a supersized salary, but then not really be any better off; for instance, he's so used to noodles that anything else tastes weird, and he's still too homesick to bother moving out of his apartment.

Hey, it could be somewhat truth; I have heard stories from people who won the lottery, but then found that changing their lives to adjust to a rich lifestyle was just too much. Instead, they just took it as a nice guarantee that they wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time.

1 pack of instant noodles here is about 99c..
Although, with Edgeworth a superior, I wouln't be surprised if he docked his pay that low.
I always feel sorry for Gumshoe. :sadshoe:

Honestly, about halfway through the game, the comments about cutting Gumshoe's salary stopped being funny and started coming off as cruel, especially since Edgeworth never bothers to reward Gumshoe for getting something right.

It isn't just Edgeworth. Franny's threatened a salary cut once or twice. And they rarely give Gummy the respect he deserves. Come to think of it, it seems every prosecutor, with the possible exception of Payne, has treated Gumshoe like crap.

Instant noodles here in the Phils. ranges from about P15 to P30, which is in the range of $0.30 to $0.60. I suppose since he lives alone, his bills are quite low, but even then there are still other necessities to be paid, plus he has to pay the rent for the apartment so his salary has to be at least a bit more that a couple of hundred dollars, but for a detective, that's already below rock-bottom. For all the detective work (and more) that he does to save the day, he deserves much more than triple his present salary, whatever it is.

If it's any consolation, I expect Edgeworth helps Gumshoe out if he REALLY needs it.

it was 20K, then 10K, then 5K, then 2K, then 1.999K, then 5 bucks, then -4.789K, then -5K.

which means he has to pay $5000 to work.

And just before his job was terminated, it was 100K for a single, fleeting moment.

His pay is probably more than $11, since there's probably minimum wage laws, right? But after expenses (rent, electricity, water, and weenies for Maggey) he has no money left for food :sadshoe:

They are, but they're not very nutritious, it's a wonder that he can walk around without feeling tired when he's on permanent instant noodles diet

Edgeworth may keep on saying that he'll "looking into" Gumshoe's salary, but maybe he doesn't actually end up cutting it when the case is over 'cause Gummy comes to save the day?

The poor guy really does need more money though, at least give him a bonus or something >__<

Though it's strange, seeing as how popular the Blue Badger is, you'd think Gumshoe would get some money from that, 'cause didn't he help design it?

Poor Gumshoe probably unknowingly signed something when he created the "wriggling piece of plywood" that stated he had nothing to do with it D:

I'm sure the fact Gumshoe is a motherfeckin tank is a reason why he's not knackered.

However he is somewhat...dim....at times, the Chief of police probably swindled him out of any royalties.

Poor Gumshoe! He should sue the Chief of Police! Oh wait, he probably signed something legal...

I fully support this worthy cause. Gummy needs some recognition for all his hard work!

I don't want to replace my signature, though, so I made myself a (crappy) userbar instead.

*nods* I agree. He's the character that helps everyone and yet gets nothing for his hard work. :sadshoe: He deserves a pay raise.

We should have a library of sigs and avis for people to support Gumshoe with.
