In some areas of my business, I still charge my rate from twenty years ago.

Why?

It's still enough to take care of my family.

Stevie stuck in being content.

...but whatever you need to tell yourself.

I haven't lived in KC for almost a decade.

Rent there has doubled since then.

And picking up on some MILF's. At least they'll be home owners.

I hope you are not renting.

Yeah, I turned down my last raise and told the company to donate my performance bonus to charity because my family and I don't need the money. LMAO

Wear your 'dont turd on me' scary snake hat too!

I suggest you get over it. I determine what my wage is.




Besides, more like my hourly rate is high enough.

I love giving people going into business for themselves for the first time a good deal. Always have. Always will.

My FIL dragged me to a seminar early in my marriage. ugh.

Bob Brown was there.

He said if getting rich is all you want, you'll make money, but won't last.
If you want to last in business, give people a great product at a fair price.

That stuck to my ribs. It's been 28 years this month. I have artwork in other states, my artwork hangs in people's homes, plus murals for major corporations. I've never spent a dime on advertising and have repeat clients. I haven't had to look for work for quite some time. I have nothing to prove to myself or to you.

In the end, being happy is all that matters.

You do it your way, and I'll do it mine.

Manny Abararca was wanting a 15 percent rate across the board. That's still a lot of money for people to pay.

We need to recall Frank White if he tries to stop this.

That seems like common sense to enact. So it's going to fail spectacularly.

Pathetic.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jackson County Assessor tells Legislature they are out of appointments for the informal appeals meeting scheduled through Aug 15 and no longer taking walk-ins.

So if I'm reading that right, the assessor is basically telling the legislature to **** off and that folks will still be stuck paying their original bill?

The legislative body should be able to do something when crooks are running the show. Absolute travesty of public service.

Elections have consequences. How did your gf vote? She wear her Frank White throwback jersey to the booth?
