Kramer - what does he live on?

Good point. I've often wondered about this myself - seems like there should be some explanation...

I've always thought he was once a con-man who is now living of the money he made. It only fits with his money making scheme persona.

I saw an episode of "Mad about you" with Kramer in it. He lives in Pauls old apartment and Kramer got him to promise not to raise the rent. He pays something like 300 a month. He eats at Jerrys alot and borrows what he needs and he's always in one "get rich plan sceme" (sorry can't spell to well in the middle of the night!).

Speaking of working, the episode this season where Kramer starts working for a company without them hiring him was great!

I know he won big at the track a couple of years ago. Plus, he had that modeling gig for Calvin Klein. Maybe he's just good investor and is living off the interest.

Whatever's in Jerry's refrigerator.

Kramer lives by his wits. He is self employed, going from one scheme or scan to the next, the same as the real life Kramer.

Who is the "real life" Kramer?

His name is Kenny Kramer and used to be a neighbor or that original writer that left after last season (is his name Larry David?). I read an article about him in PEOPLE... I believe he still lives in New York and the character Kramer is loosely based on him...(for which the "real" Kramer is quite proud!).

I thought that Larry David is the George based character?

Could be...

Kramer is based on one of Larry's ex-neighbors...

The real Kramer has a Web page, at http://www.bway.net/~kramer/

I have heard Jerry say the Kramer has no income" I remember Jerry, George and Kramer standing in Jerry's apartment talking about income tax. Kramer said something like he doesn't agree with the tax system and that's why he doesn't pay it. Jerry then replied "it's easy when you have no income".

One episode had George calling Kramers life a fantasy camp, has sex with no committment, falls ass backwards into money......

As far as I know, (or I think) he "got lucky" at a race track or something and came into a good share of money. Therefor, he doesn't work.

He also cooks at Jerry's apartment, eats Jerry's food, drinks Jerry's drinks, etc...
