My rates are in the same ballpark as the person above, I have a small number of regular clients, I try not to work more than 30 hours a week. I could work more if I wanted to. Instead, I'm working on side-projects that are more fun, and some of them could turn into businesses eventually.
My take-home pay is higher than it was working 50+ hours for salary at the hotshot San Francisco success story where I was working last year -- and I don't even have Bay Area clients, at the moment. People in Oregon and Washington are paying me this well.
