True! I can see a gym membership adding a non-significant monthly expense. Or having to re-locate to accomodate additional working space (rent asides, the cost of moving can be significant). Good insight.

Is that a time or monetary expense? Are you paying for cleaning service? (More than you would be for the corresponding takeout that cooking from home is replacing?)

There's a fascinating change in willingness to pay between between digital and physical products! I used to DM a weekly game. Every Thursday night our group would get delivery, at $10-12/pp, plus beers, etc. Once we moved to a rem

Interesting. What a fascinating idea. I have no idea how I'd go about the problem, but I wonder if there's an opportunity to buyout some of the licenses and software when some of these gambling companies go bankrupt, and pass the

My guess is cost of living. Either between "working remote" while paying city rent prices, or paying real estate taxes for one of the better school districts, I imagine there's a high percentage of residents that don't b

I really love the idea of photofeeler, and I want it to work. Just to share my 2c: I can't get over how strange the pricing structure for photofeeler is. I've come to the site a few times with my credit card ready, willing to drop

That was my thought. Same as ads. If the currency is the attention of users, why not double-dip profits! It's the same reason when I book a plane flight, someone's always trying to sell me the rental car while I'm there
