    For almost all creatives I've worked with who subscribe to Adobe CC, the software pays for a year's subscription in less than a single day's work. That isn't a bad deal at all, in my opinion.

    • Your friends are earning 12,000$ /month ? They're lucky man.Bennn
    • That's charging only $75/hour. That's normal, buddy.monospaced
    • Even at $50 an hour, it pays for itself in a day and half.monospaced
    • Assuming that, as a freelancer, you have work that fill up 8H every day. I'm glad your friends are all making 145,000$+ a year, i dont have that chanceBennn
    • I would pay a CC sub without any questions if I were making 145,000$ a year tooBennn
    • So for you, Adobe is a tax that creatives people have to pay to an independant businessBennn
    • Bennn, we all know you don't have a need for the software, which explains why you can't comprehend why they charge for it.monospaced
    • And it's not just my friends, naive little buddy. Most freelance designers on this site make livings using the software, full time.monospaced
    • Every craft in existence requires a cost for the tools. Photographers, painters, illustrators ... they all need hardware or software and it's not free.monospaced
    • painters dont have to subscribe to a 50$ monthly plan for life to get their paintbrush cleaned.Bennn
    • Paying one time and paying for the upgrades if we want, like in the old days was a good thing. Monthly plans is just a way to suck all our money.Bennn
    • Painters still have to buy paints and canvases which are arguably far more pricey per month than the tiny Adobe CC fee. Hobbies are expensive, Bennn.PonyBoy
    • Painters definitely spend more than $50 a month on supplies. Some tubes of paint cost that much alone! Don’t even get started on canvases and space.monospaced
    • Mono do you own any Adobe stock?utopian
    • nopemonospaced
    • I don't even pay for a subscription anymore. I just use it at work now.monospaced
