The startup cost about 8,000. I could go for a cheaper alternative like around 4 k, but then I really need this done right.
I really do need to be a millionaire.... so I guess 8 k is nothing against that lol

It's not really that I question the price, but I guess the fear of it failing bothers me more...since I'll have to go back to the chalkboard.

I'll have about 4k left in emergency funds after paying 8 k. But if I don't put up the 8 k.... it's just going to be sitting there gathering dust.... till it's too late. I feel timing is right.
---------------------

8 k a lot in the big schemes of life?
