Sorry, was just saying that you shouldn't try to be super frugal with things that you use for income. Like if you get a deal on some tools, cool. But the value proposition changes a lot when it comes to tools used for work. $1,000 gaming monitor? Pass. $1,000 monitor with a built in KVM and a single cable solution that will charge my work laptop? Hell yeah.

Same thing happened to me when I went full time remote. An office chair that doesn't hurt the user seems to cost at least $500. Meanwhile a garage sale beanbag chair from the 70's that's 85% farts is comfortable for all-day chilling.
If you use it to make money, how much you should spend on it becomes a whole other formula. If a better tool costs 10x more, but let's you complete work 2x as fast, it's worth it. If you stare at a monitor all day long, getting a good one that doesn't cause you eye strain is worth it even if it costs way more. Etc.
Nothing costs more than cheap cloud data storage.
Nice write up. I did a my first long-ish (190 miles) run on my mach-e for the first time over the weekend into the mountains. I was only on freeways for about 70 miles of that though. But I was still pleasantly surprised when I got back and still had 30% battery. Giving me a lot of confidence for a real road trip at the end of the month.
