Years ago, when I made serious money, I bought a $1200 recliner(big bucks then) and put it down as an expense. One of those really nice, thousand dollar wall projector things you plug into your computer so you can walk right into the chart. Put that down as an expense also. Bought some killer pot, sat in my recliner getting stoned and watching bigger than life movies on netflix. Did not put that down as an expense.
Forget about trading chairs and all the ergonomic nonsense advertised...If you are sitting in 90 degree hip flexion all day long,you are #$@^ed!!!!!!!! No chair will save your spine... Get off your lazy asses and buy an adjustable desk where you can stand...
