    $2000 is a set mark. @tucker said $1800 with healthcare, so we'll call his number $1925, as health care is about $500 month on average.

    So, we're at $1960.

    I should add that I'm probably on the lower end, I only actually work 4-5 days and only run 3-400 miles most days. So others may be much higher than me.

    No number needs quantified.
    Just a number.

    $5000 a week will gain my respect and have others look at you in admiration. (I’m really just wanting to see if you say Unacceptable.)

    One dollar? So as long as you make even one dollar, you're a real O/O?

    You think the TTR forum body will stand for this?

    5k take home? No. To me, to be worth the risk, a true O/O would need to net a minimum of $2500 after all expenses.
