Dog grooming, home furniture, you name it end up in variable expense buckets which is great come tax season, but three years down the line when you want to sell your business you're going to run into problems. If you run your business like a mom and pop shop, people are going to treat you like a mom and pop shop. Try and keep your private life expenses separate, show healthy margins on your bottom line, it makes your business much more attractive.
