Please elaborate.

If you aren't making enough money to cover your expenses, and you have no cash on hand, how are you still in business?

Because if you spend $100 a month and make $200 a month, you're profitable, but by no means living off that money (at least in the US).

Sure, but if you absolutely need to take a salary, why not just include that in the expenses?

Since when is paying yourself and your employees not an expense that factors into whether or not you are profitable?
