$40k in '09 on a food focused web app - split with my brother. $2k last year on an education web app my wife worked on (that was our share, there were 3 other participants).

The real killer is the time, not the $s out of pocket. My estimated hourly rate varies a lot based on what I'm doing - but it would lead to a significant increase if included.

Just curious, what was the idea behind the food focused food app? (I also launched a failed food focused web app).

How did you spend $40k on a webapp? Is this developer time that you had to pay out?
