Rather than looking at costs as frugal vs expensive, I'm trying to look at costs as a subtractor or multiplier. Spend on the multipliers, great people, good hardware, etc etc. save on the subtractors. I just spent a few grand on a laptop for a new employee, and $12 on a laptop case. We saved a few grand a month by having an office which is outside of the city center (but same travel distance for employees). Anybody else take this approach?
