I am sure any CPA can clear up that confusion on a spreadsheet in regards to running a business and the difference between costs/expenses and profit.
Last time I checked, I did not see 'trade offs' listed on my taxes.

Well you are certainly entitled not to have one then BF. In my case, and perhaps why I am arguing this to death, is because I have seen fruition on both ends and the business model works for some and does not work with others. And run correctly and both parties do the job they need to do, it's a damn solid business model. I don't work with shady fucks. I would never do that to Digitaldivasonline. She's my baby. Means alot to me. With, say my affiliate program for BFO, my cost to profit ratio is superlow, I am perfectly fine with "splurging" 50 bucks on bandw and 10 hours a month in my time for hundreds in profit per month. There is also a thing called common sense in running a business. But you have your ideals and I have mine, my fellow footie BF.
