One should remember that a freelancer is quite like businessman/woman..he/she has talent for assets..so the talent should be leveraged to make benefit monetarily..I have been a businessman for a few years now and earn enough to be able to buy a Porsche:-) ..did not mean to brag, but with persistence and hardwork, one can really achieve ones goals..

I congratulate Cathy for her brave decision..however, its upto her how she can promote her skills and make the best out of her talents...All the best!
