Pocket change is relative. If I were still making the big Oracle
consultant bucks, I wouldn't even blink at my ISP's charges. But now,
instead of a near-new Toyota 4Runner, I'm driving a 20 year old Subaru,
and I can barely afford that. In fact, if I don't find another job when
this construction thing I'm doing now is over, I met sell it.

I don't know what the "real value" of a vanity domain is, anyway.
