I've been inching closer to $200k the past couple years, but with taxes and such it doesn't feel so grand.
Plus, I'm supporting 3 people.

its better to make 119 thasand than 140k
when you go above 119 you jump to the next tax bracket.
So actually making 119 is about the same as making 150k after taxes. you have to make above 150k to start getting paid more.. its crazy.
if you make like 130 -140 you will actually make less than if you made 119. So be careful

true -- i run my own company and i never pay myself more than 110 a year. at my age (28) you can live a pretty good life on that, even in nyc.

I'd actually like to hear how you 'big money' guys handle finances, jobs, manage things, etc
and also, what type of work you do for what type of clients and if you have employees or contractors.
Cuz throwin' around dollar signs doesnt make anyone else rich.
I'll start, even though I make well below six figures:
I freelance.
I have 1 revolving client that brings in almost nothing now.
Most of my work is interactive (flash) and I also do work for other firms/companies as a contractor for their clients.
(a film/media studio of 10-15 people, a web-firm of 40, and a large design firm of 80)I am still learning management and I don't think I am very good at talking to clients yet.
However, I work hard and do good work when I am not procrastinating.I also have very, very small expenses.
I am becoming more and more interested in business and finding more things to throw myself into.
Your turn:

I'm an illustrator running my own business. I'm an S-Corp with 1 employee, myself. I've been doing this for 9 years but only recently became Inc.
My clients are mostly mid-high level and I work out of my home office.
I support myself, my wife and my young son, I own 2 properties, and though I live relatively simply, my expenses are rather high.

I run an design agency/consultancy which consists of "one" (me) although I very occasionally use freelancers. Most of the work is screen based although there is some design for print. I am starting to consider whether I should view myself as business person rather than designer since "designer" feels quite limited in terms of extending what one does in order to be more successful.
The company is Ltd (UK based). This has higher costs for running. I pay an accountant to submit company accounts (which is fairly normal).
I have a few medium sized clients who provide quite a of irregular work. Some small clients who provide 2% of income. My business overheads are low-ish. I work from a home studio. On average I work 5 longish days a week - 10+ hours. In the past I have worked regularly for 6 + days a week with long hours.
I have three people to support so my personal overhead is high. I have my own house, two cars and a good standard of living. I have been working for over twenty years so I have amassed my personal assets over time. When I was in my 20s (as many NTers are) I did not have a new car, house etc. It does take time to get these things - funny thing is I'm not sure they are as important as they appear to be when you don't have them.
