One thing I picked up in Tokyo: In almost every major city in the world, there are Regus office centers. Their virtual office plans are rather pricy but for $30 / month, you can buy their business gold card. This gives you unlimited access to their business lounge, free coffee and internet. It's a quiet place to work and you sometimes meet other interesting people. If you are in Japan, the one in Shibuya Mark City is really nice and I currently work out of the one on Castro & El Camino in Mountain View. Edit: forgot to mention my burn rate. Rent is about $1100, other monthly expenses about $2000 (married with kids). Servers / operating expenses ~$600. We tend to be pretty frugal in general so I don't actively look for ways to reduce it and I'm usually never good when I try.
