The “every hour of the day” argument is a bs argument. You need to sleep, for starters. And a majority of the working class has decided that it’s great to have a life outside of work, hence the two particular phenomenons we know as “9-5” and “weekend”. Nobody works every hour of the day. With that being said, my $50/hr figure is a full-employment all-things-considered figure. In fact if someone is a freelancer, their invoice rate is likely twice or thrice that rate. But my figure even takes downtime into account. If you’re making $50/hr, then 4 hours of work time spent troubleshooting a router is not worth it financially. It’s also up to you decide whether it’s worth it emotionally or spiritually.
