$350/Hr?

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” 

–Jim Rohn

Why does my attorney.heck any attorney,need to charge $30/hr?

40 hours a week @ $350/hr comes out to $700k a year.

Okay, I get it. They have overhead.

It's part of owning a business.

But $300/hr?

And it's not just lawyers.

I have some spackle work to get done on the room I am trying to finish.

I have done this work in the past many times.

It's 1 wall and part of a ceiling.

On a bad day,when I could still do this work myself, I am looking at 10 hours of work if I take my time.

I have had 3 quotes on the job ranging from $2400- $3200. No freakin' way.

On saturday , I have someone coming in to do the work.

$320,if she can get it done in 1 day.

$600 if it takes a second day. That sounds reasonable to me. Not $2400!

My brother wants to replace an a/c unit.

He can buy a unit for under $1500.

It's a 1 day install.

Why is he getting quotes for $5000?

I'm in the wrong business!

If you are thinking about sending your kid to college you may want to consider buying him or her a tool box and tool belt instead.

We own a dog grooming shp.

We charge a reasonable rate for out services. We are not the cheapest nor are we anywhere near the most expensive.

Maybe we are just plain stupid.

A reasonable price for a good job.

What a concept!
