    You’re not accounting for taxes and insurance. You lose way more to both as a self employed individual (at least here in the states)

      If you’re a self employed contractor, you’re taking taxes and insurance out yourself, not from what you’d be paid.

        I’m not really sure what your point is. If I bill my guy 8k for the hours I did last month he sends me 8k. I then personally have to buy my own insurance and do my quarterly taxes

          Right, which would happen after the direct deposit, so your entire tangent about taxes and insurance seems irrelevant to the meme and conversation involving the amount in the meme.
