My client in Austin offered me a flat $500 for a project that took me 40 hours.

I see so many new freelancers accepting these rates without asking for more. How do you guys actually figure out what your time is worth?

Twelve bucks an hour" is about what I paid myself for years, which is the real joke.

My cousin ran a little lawn care business out of his truck for about two years. He paid himself minimum wage to get started and told me he was "investing in the future." But after two summers of that, his truck broke down and he had nothing saved to fix it. That twelve bucks an hour catches up with you in a bad way.
