You can eat and live on $45 a month?

I see that you're still maintaining other full-time employment (which is a good idea, IMO), but let's be serious. True burn rate is more than just hosting costs.

I see burn rate as the expenses of the company, not of the person. Right now I don't need the company to pay me for living expenses because I still have other employment.

That's why I think it's interesting to make this distinction when reporting burn rate.
