A) My current funding goal is $2,000.00 per week, not per month.
B) I want to make the X-factor of freedom available to as many as possible. I think Zuck won the startup game. How are you going to top him? With an even more bloated IPO? Time to rewrite the rules, IMO.
Yeah, what's up with that? Are US wages so different from European ones? Around here (Belgium, a rather wealthy country), $3000 a month is a good wage. 8k/month seems a little excessive for creating and maintaining a relatively simple service? Am I underestimating the effort involved or the tax pressure in the US?
But owning a company, you have far more costs than being employed. E.g. in The Netherlands (it must be similar in Belgium), you have to pay 19% VAT and add lots of insurances that your employer normally pays a substantial part of (disability insurance, liability insurance). Then you probably need a lawyer, and/or insurance for that. And the list goes on... Things become even more expensive once you start hiring employees, etc.
