@axel@hsnl.social @malte@anticapitalist.party @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social I'm assuming your 100€/h includes no taxes, right? So, post-taxes and insurances, you're left with a relatively modest amount more than the employee made. (I don't know really how much you make post-tax, post health+care+unemployment+retirement+disability insurances; but my guess is that at the end of your career, you might have more flexible ways to spend your retirement, not necessarily significantly more money; and that's assuming things go well for you).

@axel@hsnl.social @malte@anticapitalist.party @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social is that still good money? Sure! Is that saying you're reimbursing yourself for the risk you're taking, and for the fact that if you need to slack off for some reason (family, health, age) you'll make less money? I *honestly* don't know, and would tend to say "no".

@funkylab@mastodon.social @malte@anticapitalist.party @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social Indeed; flexible in insurance, flexible in pension and flexible in business expenses. Also flexible in choosing clients and when to work ;-)
