Would have been nice to know how much they're making from all this. I know that's not the motivation, but would still be interesting.

I hope so, cause the whole post seems like a justification and cry for help at the same time. "large, luxurious ~2500 sq/ft home" - yikes, buddy.

What's the point of having a 2500sq/ft home if you spend all your time in a 100 sq ft space on a treadmill or in a seat writing code?

I never understood this. I own a 1700 sq ft. home and I would reduce it down to 800 sq ft, if I didn't have a roommate.

Maybe the extra 1700sqft for the 9 cats? 9 cats in 800sqft would be awful.

9 cats would be awful period.
