Many have no idea of what the costs are to produce a service. If you have never been self employed you most likley have very little idea of all of the overheads.
When I was boat chartering I would get grumbles sometimes on the $150 per hour price. Never from fellow boatowners. More than likely from 'proffessionals' whose per hour rate was much more than mine.
At $200,000 my boat cost as much as some of their educations. Diesel was $9gal. Marketing cost more than fuel. Maintenance was a solid 1 person 1 month per year. For every paid hour there averaged another 1/2hour of preparation & put away time. Somewhere in there somebody, me, had to get paid too.
The overheads add up in any business.
