What I am about to say comes from first hand experience.
Last year I worked and freelanced my ass off. In the end I payed off a few credit cards and what not but come December I really took a step back and looked at what I gained from it, or, as I know now what little I gained from it. The money was ok but I missed out on so much. I hardly ever went out during the week, and at least 2 nights of the weekend were devoted to work.
Looking back it's not worth it. If you can live on your full time job and a little freelance do it. Being 30 I know life is way too short to work through it.
Maybe you need to pick and choose your projects a bit better. Rarely now do I touch anything that really isn't worth my time. $500 site? No thanks. I pass it along to someone else unless I know I can finish it in less than 10 hours. If not it's not worth my time. Because when it comes down to it, with every year that passes you realize your time is invaluable.
