Yesterday's thread really got my wheels turning. I'm tired of prostituting my MT skills so MTSO owners can take fancy vacations when I can't buy groceries.

I don't remember what you quoted your line rate was, but was the number you gave the line rate you pay yourself after taxes, insurance,ect. or is this the rate you quote the client before your overhead is subtracted? I know you can't speak for the other posters who own their own accounts, but did you get the impression that the line rates they quoted were before or after expenses? I am curious about one more aspect if you don't mind me emailing you?

Thanks for the insight!
