MM, you would probably prefer this then, right (minus the hyphens)? Please tell me if you like all examples below. If not, how'd you write the ones you disagree with? Thanks a mil!

a $10 million to $20 million a year income
a $10 million a year income
a 10 cent a week raise
a 10 to 20 cent a week increase

If we did recast, are these better?
a $10 million to $20 million a year income = He made between $10 million and $20 million a year / an annual income of $10 million to $20 million a year.
a $10 million a year income = an income of $10 million a year / an annual income of $
a $10 million to $20 million a year income = He made between $10 million and $20 million a year / an annual income of $10 million to $20 million a year.
a $10 million a year income = an income of $10 million a year / an annual income of $
