1 Major reason that most developers shouldn't freelance full time. It isn't a business that you are willing to commit to. Why should anyone put the time and effort into starting a business with the intention of later dumping it? Save yourself that step and don't freelance at all. Sure, some may love it and stick with it, but not every developer should freelance. All you would likely accomplish is jack up your income for X months. Take client work off the market from someone else who will end up inheriting your project anyways because you quit freelancing after you check it off your bucket-list. There are cases when it's easy to jump in and out of freelancing and it makes a good stop-gap for your employment. You have contacts in the industry who need a quick hand. You acquired deep knowledge in something that fits well with short consulting stints. Generally this person is probably in the position that your bullet points don't really apply.
