Clients may try to talk you down in your prices over your career. It's important to factor in your household expenses in determining your prices. Even basic toiletries and groceries can be $300-$400/month minimum. Other people's budgets have nothing to do with the price you set as a contractor.

I suggest telling yourself what's the most you'd charge for a specific service. If you aren't charging that already, ask yourself why you can't. Perhaps it's one of the following reasons
●Your product line is cheap
● Your location is dirty
● Your skills aren't perfected enough
● You're always late
Find out "Why" then work on it so you can charge your worth.
