With a 90% profit margin and 30% taxes, 378k per year in bank.
Almost 1k/day
Not fuck you money, but that’s pretty solid. I remember getting paid 1k/month as my first Job.
Can't argue with results. I don't personally care if you have one file with 4500 lines or 100 files with 45 lines. You have a successful and helpful business. Good job!
Just had to add that...
WRT $50k/mo, for any sane person that's two times more-than-enough. If I could stably do $5k/mo from an app or website I'd be happy.
1) I was wrong about what was going on in that thread. I sort of scanned it at first and saw that snarky "this is why I build companies and you do contracts" post and it rubbed me the wrong way.
2) The $50k (or €50k, im not sure which it is now) number is a lot, but given the way I originally interpreted the thread my initial reaction was more of one like "who does this guy think he is?"
3) I later went back over the thread and saw that people were being needlessly critical of a tiny webapp.
All that being said, I do agree with the replies that are being critical of my thinking here -- I just can't go back and edit it on HN!
I think it's the word you chose that brought it all on you though. Yet empathising with the way you interpreted the thing, I could've made a similar rant too, frankly.
If unemployed and broke is at one end of the spectrum and living off investment dividends is the other, this is 95% of the way there.
That means you can either go for the lump sum or the annuity, either one gets you out from under The Man.
Hell, €5k that's just about passive income(like Levels business are close to being) would set me free and change my life in ways I cannot describe.
I f-you money is saying f-you to your boss, then yes it is. Even in the most expensive cities in the world. Hong Kong, SF
I’ll try moving the map attribution to left tomorrow or move the “by @levelsio” box! Thanks for telling me.
C'mon dude. At least be consistent with your line of reasoning.
