[thelist] going solo?

[Joshua Olson]

but look again,

Gene said you should have $2 independent for each dollar of salary as a
rule, right?  Which mean that if you are making 30000 salary as an employee,
you will need about 60000 independently to have the same lifestyle.  So, to
make 60000/yr, then you need to set your rate at 30/hr.  Which, is 1/1000 of
your salary rate as an employee.  Again, these three are in agreement.  You
just have to be very careful when analyzing it.

:     This would be true only if you work *25* weeks per year (or four hours
a

: multiply the hourly rate * 2000, not 1000. For most people in the U.S. who
