If a person is not self employed, it is hard for them to imagine the hidden cost in running a business. Health insurance,vehicle insurance, general liability insurance just to name a few. Yes, some of the vendors make 300% on an item, but they have to hit a good lick sometimes to make up for the 1% and the 50 cents an hour earned on some projects. My wife and I are self employed and are constantly amazed at how much it cost to run even the smallest business. It's a bit foolish to be critical of someone until you have walked in there shoes in there particular type of business. I find that most of the people that critical of my business practices are merely envious of my freedom of time while they are stuck to a 9-5 job. I say, let them critisize while I am off doing exactly what I want to each day of my life. Thanks, Lyman.
