I assume it's not legal to take passengers on these flights.

A second pilot (Must Be Instrument Rated) can come along and help
fly as required crew. And a large bank account to cover their
expenses.- H

So, you're talking about 5-6AMUs? That is rather steep, but well
worth it for the experience and the hours IMO. I think one will spend
almost that must just hopping the local airports.
What's the reasoning for the second pilot to have instrument rating?
Isn't having a second pilot a bonus with or without an IR?
How's th epilot going to sleep if he knows the second guy is going to
spear in while he's napping?
