The normal business person who operates out of an office has rent, utilities, liability and other types of insurance to pay not to mention meeting payroll for the receptionist and bookkeeper. And a business person has a right to make a fair profit for the risk they take going into business--it's call an opportunity cost.
My T shares a suite with about 6 other Ts. There is no receptionist or bookkeeper. I know she has to pay her share but not the same as her being solo. She does work from another office owned by someone else so she pays rent for that one too. So I guess she's not a millionaire after all.
