For the type of business that I have as a consultant, a lot of times for the jobs I do it's an hourly wage. You have to speak to a client about what your charge is per hour. Initially, that cost should have been raised a bit so that I could cover the cost of living for my own household. However, as soon as you mention that it's gone to $25 more an hour—that's just to pick a number—whereas before it was, “Yes, we'd love to have you help us”, now it's, “Let me think about it”, because that business owner or that homeowner has their own worries about what things cost.
So do I. I have lost business. We have fewer clients. I think it's on both ends when it comes to inflation.
