Speak for yourself!

In the 90's I was charging 80 per hour and now I'm charging 60 per hour and in that time everything has gone up about 4 times in price.

It's alright for you, you rich git, but some of us are on a steep decline mate.

Dim I dunno where you get this from, I'm poor, I'm one of the poorest here, we have a 2003 Passat ! I change tapes for .net projects.

I know our rates are stagnating and not really rising but compared to others we're doing ok, but agreed that's not the point, for all oif us with much higher operating costs we should be passing these costs on in the form of higher rates


Milan.

For many contractors rates have either plummeted, or disappeared totally and they are on the bench. Maybe you're the one who's out of touch with real life? Good luck to you if you're earning well (I sure you deserve it) but please don't assume everyone is so fortunate.

[DimPrawn]

My rate is up a lot on 2004.

When it was £6/hr for fixing fruitmachines.

fixing being the operative word.

Amount of money I wasted on them bastards.

They did not teach you "theory of games" and "probabilities" in that school of yours?

[SueEllen]

The theory of games is that the house always wins.

There is no probability about that.
