a simple bitcoin core node you can run it for zero cost.
You don't need a fancy box for that.
You don't even need a machine for that if want to go extreme.

>I think it is clear that bitcoin node is not a LN node.

(For) What is then?

Fair: I meant personal bitcoin node (question covers whether you do it yourself or pay for hosting). I guess I could have added not a LN node too, but I think it is clear that bitcoin node is not a LN node.

I never thought about that and I don't care how much will be.

It doesn't matter, it is to secure my wallets.

Then I have to see how much is the return to sustain the cost of a remote hosting or even a self hosting. Running a professional LN node is cheap and require investment. For a small merchant that sells bananas on the street will be quite costly to run a remote node on Voltage or whatever VPS + LN channels management.

You see ? Is really hard to just vote an answer that means nothing.

How much does it cost you to run a bitcoin node?

The question is ambiguous.
Which type of node?
- private or public
- business or personal
- Only Core or also LN
- self-hosted or remote hosted 
- what hardware I use... could be a damn server or a fucking mobile device.
- you talk about cost of electricity / maintenance or also about the cost of managing the liquidity ?
