I've changed from being a supplement distributor to a cellular servive distributor. Much more popular now. This is where I got started. http://globexwireless.com/
It's funny how this poll seems to rate you as a better bb'er if you spend more money, yet loads of guys are saying that they spend less now that they've got experience and know what they're doing...
For me it's about $200 unless there's var involved.
But I agree that it's the food and supps that cost more in the long term. If I had a garden i'd buy a cow, a pig and a few chickens, that'd save me loads of money on food...
