- $2/day snacks
- $4/day coffee (really this should be higher b/c the cafe at the office made expressos that would cost $4/ea at Starbucks and I drink 3 per day)
- $4/day bfast
==
monthly food total: $200.
I needed to buy a desk ($100), office chair ($80), networking / power equipment, etc (total ~$200).
Studies have shown that sleep quality is very important and you should reserve your bedroom for sleep and sex [0]. If I work 3ft from where I sleep, I never "turn off" work.
So this means I needed either find space in the rest of my house (the kitchen table or rent a larger place).
Assuming I don't want to reduce my quality of life by working WFH, I'm now spending an extra $300/mo on food, equipment, and sq footage. If I was freelancing, I could write off these expenses on my taxes and my prices would reflect these costs. As a W2 worker, I am not able to write off these expenses from my taxes nor have I been able to negotiate better pay from my employer.
