Default Re: anyone making a living from SSNL?

i would say the opposite. if i'm making 50k at my regular job, to equal the pay and the benefits i'd want to be making 60-65k from poker to call it even money-wise. Although there's some balancing out the other way to, with no commute / cheaper meals etc.

I think you'd be surprised out how cheaply you can get benefits. Any healthy male in his 20s should be able to get a high deductible ($2500) health plan for less than $100 per month. Assume you spend $1,000 per year on medical expense, your total out of pocket is $2k.

Add up your other benefit costs, and unless your company is extremely generous, I'd bet you'd trade three or four thousand a year for no benefits.
