Could you show your math? This is driving me crazy because I get: 48 x 40 x $70 = $138,240 Which is far from $200k. How are you computing?

It really depends on where a person is in their career and life. And as OP indicated, there are real benefits to putting a business behind you, taking a win, and moving on to the next thing (with a wad of cash!). For a lot of people, bookin

I should have been clearer. Apps from big publishers were more expensive than the indies in the 1980s. And indie shops that were charging ~$40 ($100 in 2024 dollars) for their titles. This is a direct comparison to the type of pomodoro app

Revenue is $1m. Earnings are less than revenue, because you have to pay for salaries & stuff to generate the $1m in revenue. After expenses of ~$750k, the business earned roughly $250k in profit. Thats' real money the owner(s) coul

Also using Lorem Ipsum makes it easy to tell at a glance whether the site/app is using real text. Using generated real text would require a bit more thought to verify that the generated text should be replaced.
