Income from startup 4000 euro.

Tax 1040 euro (26%*4000) + 650 euro business tax = 1690 euro

(29% for 2015 plus 100% of it as tax in advance for 2016)

Social Ιnsurance [TSMEDE] 423 euro per month.

Being unable to renew domain name because of capital controls : priceless

They did the same kind of thing in a Spanish TV program about how creative young people are beating the crisis by inventing new businesses.

One of their example was a team of 2 30-something living with their parents with a business like cleaning aquarium for cheap (a convenience particular could not afford before). They made less than 1000 EUR per month for them both. Don't remember if it was actually cleaning aquarium, what stuck with me is how if the media has to chose that kind of story in order to put a positive spin on the crisis, you know the situation is dire.

Comment formatting engine on HN requires two line breaks to display a line break to the user, just like HTML.

On what browser or browsers does a double line break in HTML turn into a linebreak for otherwise unstyled text?
