The Myth and the Math

Does it ever pay back?

Two made-up paths against the same example costs. One crosses the cost line in month 14. The other never does. A real version of this chart needs real, sourced numbers, and says so.

1.

The myth

Work from anywhere means working less.

The math (example)

40 hours of paid work, plus 8 hours finding the next piece of work, plus 4 hours of admin: 52 hours a week. Example figures.

2.

The myth

All you need is a laptop.

The math (example)

Laptop $900, a course $300, software $25 a month and internet $60 a month: $2,220 in the first year, all example prices, before a single paid hour.

3.

The myth

Anyone can do it.

The math (example)

Picture 100 invented people who start. In this example, 60 stop, 30 keep going without covering their costs, and 10 cover them.

Grey: stopped. Outlined: still going. Filled: covered costs. Invented split. Real rates are unknown here; ask any seller for theirs, and for the source.

Failure belongs in the picture as plainly as success. That is the whole editorial line.
