1/ Fun milestone: @Baremetrics had its first fully-profitable year in 2019!

$151k in profit on $1.38m in revenue.
2/ The very large majority of our expenses are wrapped up in payroll (nearly $900k). All other overhead was, more or less, negligible.
3/ We spent $184k on servers/infrastructure. Majority of that going to Packet for bare metal servers.
4/ We spent $27k on our "happiness stipend" for the team (the monthly stipend team members and their spouses receive to spend on whatever the heck they want).

$250/mo goes to the Baremetrics employee and $100/mo goes to their spouse.
5/ We spent about $15k on our annual team retreat.
6/ 2020 will likely be the first year we'll have to really take taxes in to account. Yay?

2019 will still have some carryover losses from previous years so should be a non-issue.
7/ The bookkeeping/accounting stuff is my least favorite and weakest skill, so there's probably other interesting things I'm totally missing in that regard, but still fun to look at in hindsight!
8/ Oh! Also paid out $25,000 to the team in bonuses!
