Thanks.  Graphics are nice, but I like to see where the numbers come
from and are the numbers current?  Looks good so far:

Any numerical analysis of such things omits intangibles that
are hard to "price".
I *really* enjoy that I can decide who to work for, which projects
to take on, what hours to keep, how I will dress, who I will interact
with, etc.  What value, that?
Could I make similar claims as a dentist?  Plumber?  Accountant?
OTOH, I have friends who *dread* putting in time -- regardless of
their compensation.
My lawyer *once* invoiced me for a brief phone call seeking advice.
(10 minute intervals).  he was annoyed when I repeated the act
when *he* called for technical advice.  And, more annoyed that
my hourly rate was considerably higher than his!
If you expect favors, then be prepared to GRANT them, as well.
If you want to treat everything as a business transaction,
that's fine, too.  But, don't call me on a Sunday when you have
a problem that needs to be fixed, NOW (I am known to keep
highly irregular business hours)
