it is a nightmare - it's still best to stick to your guns otherwise the jobs which you do "on the cheap" just kill you. Have recently done a few like that and when the decent paid work came along I hated doing the work which was being done (virtually) for free.
I rarely (never) haggle with builders/plumbers/car repairers when they work for me -so how come designers are unable to charge a fixed cost without being beaten down?
You can't work cheap - you have to cover your costs and pay your salary otherwise its not worth doing it.
Keeping to your fixed price or as close as possible is the only way to prevent that resentment of sitting up 'til 01am trying to finish a job off that will only pay £50.
there - enough said!
