Found a stat about freelance income that goes against everything I hear online

I was reading a report from the Freelancers Union last month, and it said only 28% of full-time freelancers make over $75,000 a year. I see so many posts about six-figure gigs, but this number feels way more real for most people I know. It made me question the 'hustle harder' advice that's everywhere. Has anyone else seen data that paints a less shiny picture of this work?

That 28% number from the Freelancers Union is the cold splash of water we all needed.

Remember when we all thought freelancing meant freedom... not this constant hustle for cash.

Tell me about it... @shane_morgan's stat hits a little too close to home.
