 Boy, I need to talk to some of my clients.  They keep telling me that I need to decrease prices because they don't have the budget... but they need to understand I have to get my "cost of living" increase.
Not to mention I need to somehow pay the 22% higher medical insurance costs and recover from a still underfunded IRA (since I don't have the luxury of a pension).
