Isn’t 60/hr basically 120k salary? Or 72k after tax?

That’s also assuming you’re booked 100% of the time.

Because if you’re a good freelancer, you don’t do hourly you do a day rate of min 600/day

It’s tight but manageable. Unfortunately a lot of people do it for less & even with a kid or two. But I agree it’s very challenging. The rate range is theoretically not terrible if one is booked 90% of the time but who is. If you consider leaving the city for lower Westchester or NJ you’d avoid paying city tax. The trick is to have a range of gigs throughout the year - some will pay ok, others will pay amazing. What kind of work do you/ what do you design?

Received my first prenatal massage at 19 weeks today and the therapist was trained and did a bit of myofascial stretching techniques. Never touched my stomach. Just lower back, arms, legs and feet. I have had cramps in my abdominal area since a few hours after the massage. Not sure if it’s cramps or stretching pains. Drinking a ton of water to flush out toxins, but is this pain normal?
