Dear Mr. Enonona-
I just HAVE to ask...Do you ENJOY digging yourself out of a hole that you created with your first impression...OR...are you simply one of THOSE PEOPLE that is CONSTANTLY up in other peoples business...?
AND, please dont get me wrong...While I was already enjoying this entertaining KellyTNT post, YOUR reply has some nice potential to add a layer of intrique that could quickly become the coveted "TRAINWRECK THREAD OF THE WEEK"...
Welcome to the Board...I Guess...
OK...time to sit back and see where this goes...
Take it easy on him gals...Being a Newbie and all...

But-- I'll humor your little math problem.
First, my average rate is $150/hr. Assuming I am FULLY booked for the week, I see 2 per day/4 days per week so that comes to
$1200 per week
Multiplied by 52 weeks per year is
62400.
Ok--- so now come the expenses of running your own business.
Business location-- 200 per week x 52 weeks= 10400
Supplies-- For argument sake-- lets say 2000/year-- Bringing the current total before taxes to 50,000.
Now, I'm a good girl and I actually pay my taxes. 15% self employment tax on 50K is 7500. Bringing us to 42500. Another 10% in income tax (I have little deductions at home) brings us to 38,000.
Now to the expenses of life:
Housing: I own my home so all I have are taxes and insurance. Comes to 5800/year
Transportation-- 320 car payment + 160 insurance + 400 gas (I live in Canton)= 880/month x 12= 10560
Food/Clothing-- We live on the cheap, so I spend about 5000/year here
School Expenses-- 16,000/year (tuition, books, etc).
Which leaves me a surplus of about $640 per year. Which means--- if I want to go anywhere or do anything, I have to work an extra day here or there or go on tour from time to time. And I live much more cheaply than a lot of ladies.
