That's fucked up. They need to pay you immediately, and a hell of a lot more than that. You've lost working wages, opportunities for advancement, on-the-job training and educational opportunities - and that's JUST related to work. How about personal life? Relationships and friendships?

Without context, I'm not sure what that means. Are you profitable, or relying on money you raise from Kickstarter? I'm trying to understand if the business proposition is selling board games, or getting paid through crowd funding.

That makes sense, and reading further down some of those numbers are explained further. It's an interesting field, and sounds fun.

Actually, the overall cost would be significantly lower than a traditional education, though the individual payments would be higher than income-based student loan repayment (which not everyone enjoys). You're only paying for 3 years, which is much shorter than a traditional loan repayment program.

Also, this has nothing to do with driving for Uber. Uber drivers rarely make $50k or more. However, Uber is a multi-billion dollar company that employs over 6,000 full time workers. The job you'd be looking at for a company like Uber would be a full-time professional gig, likely paying higher than $50k.

This is an interesting program. In the tech industry, 'boot camp' style programs are gaining popularity, which cost around $15k for 3 months of intensive study. I would think this program might compete with those, but with a potentially better education, and much more flexibility. Time will tell, but I think it's a reasonable alternative to online degree programs and boot camp programs.

Also remember that losing weight is 90% diet - you can do it without ever exercising. Time in the gym makes you feel better, look better, and improves your overall health, though. Check out starting strength or strong lifts for excellent workout plans that don't take a ton of time, and couch-2-5k for a running plan that is structured and fun, and won't have you living in the gym.
