Uplift for the standing desk

☝️ This is the correct answer.

And it's well below your budget. Mine was like $700 with a lot of bells and whistles.

Assuming your budget is flexible, flexispot standing desk. Works perfectly, dirt cheap, not a lot of different between a cheap hard surface and an expensive one.

Then you can either really invest in the chair where budget matters, or have an extra 800 bucks to spend on something else

Aeron for the chair ;-)

Autonomous for both

Branch desks are the nicest. Highly recommend.

Haworth Zody chair - they had them at my previous capital one job. Really good for my lower back pain issues.

I ordered the Executive chair from Bush Business Furniture. Comfortable and looks decent around the house too.

Similar to what B&C2 said above - I recommend a cheaper desk and then spending more $ on the chair. The Autonomous desk is a great choice - you’ll see some bad reviews online but I’m very happy with mine and other friends who own one are happy with theirs. Works perfectly and has for over a year.

And then spend $$$ on treating your body right with a really good chair

Check to see if you have a discount with Steelcase through BCG. We were able to outfit an office with two standing desks (L-shape) and a Gesture chair for under $2k.

If you’re in a decent size metro there are likely multiple used office furniture stores where you can get a refurbished chair for ~60% off retail. Even if you get a massive desk you’ll be within your budget.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

AMA.

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding. If I understand correctly, the sole disadvantage this has compared to a tax sheltered retirement account is that the quarterly dividends will be taxed? But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.
