"A look at Ms. Betterly's business shows why bulk e-mailers, and spam, keep multiplying."

"She and three friends started Data Resource Consulting with $15,000 six months ago. Ms. Betterly quickly discovered that she could make a profit if she got as few as 100 responses for every 10 million messages sent for a client, and she figures her income will be $200,000 this year. She has a flexible schedule that allows her to enjoy her children and the 5,000-square-foot home, with a pool, that she shares with them and a roommate."

I really love the 5,000-square-foot figure in that story quote.

I misinterpreted the "enjoy her children" part.
