Q1 2026 is in the books. Full breakdown below.
W-2: $12,500 (three pay periods). Boarding: $4,620 — higher than expected, mostly the winter holiday weeks. eBay: $3,180 — down from Q4 but steady. Trading: $1,680 — rough February, better March.
Total side: $9,480. That's 43% of gross for the quarter.
The boarding number surprised me. I had assumed it was a smaller piece. It isn't. I'll be writing more about the boarding model in the weeks ahead.
