show me your work frank, interested to see.
lets just say you earn about 4 times my salary... hence me being interested to see your standard of work, and figure out wtf i'm doing wrong

- brooke0
No, really. How do you do it?
Gimme some.

I would , but this is the handle that I use to spout off ;). The cash I'm making now isn't all that impressive once taxes come into play. I have to get a fulltime job soon, freelancing is too hectic.

geez... im poor
- mrdobolina0
frank, you're making more than anyone here.
- jpowell0
i'm thinking folks are lying here...
or its more like
120k- 50% tax = 60k
- Mal0
- Donvitoviti0
if you make 90-120k freelance... that figures out to about a rough 60% after taxes.. health care.. .Social Security .. etc.
So i guess im not that poor now that i think about it..

and thats US$ Frank?
- mrdobolina0
edwin, we dont know what poor is.
- frankNbeans0
Stuc is making more than me. Digitalswarm too. Taxes aren't 50%, that would be a massive assraping.
- Mal0
I disagree massive ass-rapings pay pretty well.
- XC010
i make A$58k that includes my car. but i do up to $10k in freelance work. i work my tits off though.
thats australian dollars.
a 15gb ipod costs $450 here
- Donvitoviti0
well its a combo of Insurace, taxes, social security, medicare... that rape you when you freelance.. thats why freelancers make like 2 times as much at the start...
if you have steady work.. you can make more than statying with a company.. if you have work on and off.. it will be alot harder even with the higher income
- Donvitoviti0
i dont feel comfortable posting my salary here, as other people from my work might be around.
lets just say.. i am not that poor.. and am getting by in the Bay area just fine
