An Artist lifestyle is based on commission and talent. More than 6 out of 10 artists were self-employed.
They work when they want to work. The lowest 10 percent of craft artists
earned less than $14,130, while the highest 10 percent of art directors earned more than $135,090 in 2006
Artist vs. Doctor
You work hard for your money
Instead of measuring a purchase in terms of dollars, consider measuring costs in terms of the number of hours you need to work.› To earn $1,000 you need to work at the minimum
67 hours at $15 an hour. (Don’t forget the government takes out money for taxes)
› If a car payment is $450 and you make $15 an hour, you need to work at least 30 hours a month just to make that payment. (Don’t you’ll need extra money for related expenses: gas, maintenance, car insurance, etc.)
