Fair enough, but consider the following:
Herb and Dorothy had jobs, which was certainly a blessing, but their jobs were not high-paying ones. And yes, if they hadn't had enough money for food and shelter, it's highly unlikely that they would have been able to amass an art collection of the size and scope they did. Keep in mind, however, that several of the pieces they acquired were given to them by artists who were inspired by the couples' passion, and price was almost always a consideration in their purchases. (They gravitated toward minimalist pieces with minimalist prices.) What makes Herb & Dorothy's story so inspiring is that, at least in relative terms, they did something others would consider impossible. They used their ingenuity to surmount every obstacle that came between them and their dream.
