Probably closer to $1000/mo, actually.
But as I said - it literally pays for itself: say my time is worth $100/hr[1] and paid on an IRS 1099 schedule - so it’s a deductible expense. The extra 3-4 hours it gets me ($300-400) is worth the $35 opportunity cost, because that’s $5,000+ extra monthly income - so minus the $1000 as a pre-tax deductible business expense then that’s $4000 I wouldn’t have had otherwise.
Spreadsheets don’t lie!
Even if I was paid on a W-2 basis, I could probably pay for it using pre-tax money from my HSA - though that would sap all of my HSA contributions though.

- redis_mlc 6y ago1) Fascinating. 2) You could probably get a movie deal.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y ago> You could probably get a movie deal I imagine a film about kind middle-aged ladies bringing coffee to a young, possibly hungover, technology worker who suffocates on his own pillow at night would not make for good entertainment.

- rmason 6y agoI could see the guy falling for one of the ladies who wake him up. Quirky but it might be a romcom that could work.
- ponker 6y agoI see you’re not a screenwriter. As Good as it Gets, Harold and Maude, etc.
- treeman79 6y agoHave considered hiring someone to sit behind me, just to keep me on task. Adderal did a great job “teaching” me to stay on task. I do alright without it now, but energy level is just too low. Diet definitely makes a huge difference. Carbs are evil. Audio books for when I need to do chores.
