[Joseph Crawford]

Michael,

Not only do you have to take benefits into consideration but you also  
have to take taxes into consideration so yes while you might actually  
bring in 120k per year you are not making that much.  If you are  
working under a 1099 you can bet on 33% (approx) going to taxes then  
you have to pay for health, medical, dental, office supplies etc. I  
would be surprised if you came out with $70,000 as income.  Keep in  
mind that you also have to pay utility bills such as cable,  
electricity, phone, these are all office related expenses.

33% of 124k is approx 41k going to taxes so I could see where Chris  
would get this figure.  I am sure he is accounting for more than just  
the benefits etc.

Thanks,
Joseph Crawford
