I know plenty of people who have freelanced their way into owning a home. It depends a lot on where you live, how much you make, and how secure your incoming work stream is. If you live in New York City, buying a co-op or condo or a house in the outer boroughs is various levels of insanely expensive, so you’d better be doing pretty well. Los Angeles is the same. But if you’re a freelancer who lives in, say, Kentucky, it’s probably quite a bit easier to buy a place. Location counts when it comes to purchasing land and homes.
To get to the core of your question, I think the simple answer is yes: It’s definitely possible to make a large salary freelancing. You’re going to need great clients with appropriate amounts of money and spending habits. And you’re going to need to work a lot. Eventually, you’ll hit a maximum income that’s based on the physical reality that you’re only one person and you can only work so much. When that happens, you’ll hire people.

I use Pages for template-based Karbon documents like estimates, statements of work and master service agreements (and any other needs-to-look-nice items I create).
I use iA Writer for any creative writing. Short stories, long blog posts, et cetera.
I use TextMate for everything else. It’s still my favorite app if I need to jot something down quickly and edit it, wrangle text, or batch operate on HTML or anything like it.
Fountain: A markup language for screenwriting
I’ve wanted something like Fountain for years. It reminds me of the TextMate bundle Oliver Taylor wrote back in the day, only this time it’s not a single-app hack, it’s a true, Markdown-esque formatting syntax for writing screenplays. And because it’s only a syntax, it can be used my any application in the future to render correctly-formatted scripts on the fly, while maintaining a completely text-based original that’s easy to update, modify and archive. This is huge.
I’m thrilled to announce I’ve been invited to speak at this year’s Valio Con 2012. I hope you don’t have any plans for the beginning of June, because you’re going to want to be in sunny San Diego with us. Look at this amazing line-up of speakers:
I don’t even belong in the same room with these people, they’re too awesome. I’m going to have to change the title of my session to “How I managed to trick Drew Wilson into letting me speak alongside industry giants at Valio Con 2012”. But seriously, I heard nothing but amazing things about last year’s event, so I could only play it cool for about ten seconds after Drew asked me to be part of this year’s conference.
Valio Con 2012 takes place June 7-10th at the Hyatt Mission Bay resort in San Diego. The $999 conference pass includes three nights hotel stay, beach bonfires, breakfast, local catered lunches and a chance to hang out with some of the best designers and developers in the industry. Check out the Valio Con 2012 site for more details.
(And thanks to Jonathan Moore, from whom I reblogged/stole most of this post. I’ll try to make it up to him at the conference.)

I shoot nearly all video with the Canon 5D Mark II. Photos these days are about 60% 5D, 40% Fujifilm FinePix X100. Both cameras take great photos and it’s mostly a matter of convenience which one I choose for the day. I tend to shoot with the 24-70mm f2.8 lens on the 5D, and it’s a pretty big, heavy lens. So generally when I take the 5D with me it’s because I plan to shoot a lot or record video. The X100 is much smaller and lighter and easier to carry around, so it’s a great casual camera and I don’t feel as bad if I take it with me all day and never shoot a photo.
Oh, and I take hundreds of photos with my iPhone, the best of which go to Instagram (@garrettmurray).
