Yep in the exact same boat as you. Went with the M3i and pair it with the Peloton standalone app for classes. Have been meaning to try out Zwift but I've started running more due to the nicer weather. Eventually!
Many of my friends went with the Peloton and swear by it. If you're fine being platform-locked for $39/mo it's a great option. The bike is quality, the classes are amazing, and the peer competition is motivating. All that wasn't for me though.
Salary isn't all about "the value you add" and at the end of the day it's supply and demand.
However, regardless of if the worker is taking a lower salary they should be maximizing purchasing power in whatever location they're working. If you can move somewhere rural, have a better quality of life, and have a higher savings rate while taking a pay cut you're still better off than your counterparts in [HCOL area] making double your salary.
Your salary only matters when compared to your peers in similar living situations.
I'm interested to know this as well. However I'm more interested to know the overall environmental impact of buying some from Amazon in their current state.
At what distance is it overall more environmentally friendly for me to purchase from Amazon vs. taking my car and grabbing that item myself. I think I'd be surprised at how little that number is.
This has been bothering me for some time as well. How are these hacks prosecuted as wrongdoings?
