Yeah, the- having multiple boss thing- is totally true. I was just telling that to a friend the other night. I'm 37, and I've been freelancing almost ever since I graduated (I did work as an art teacher for two years, but I didn't find it inspiring). I can't say I always had been doing as good as you. Actually, even now, I'm not doing as good as you, but that's simply cause I like diversity. I'm mostly doing illustrations, but I'm also a stand up comic, and I guide bushcraft tours occasionally. I have a hard time concentrating on one thing only.

but than again. I'm totally happy with this (although those multiple bosses can be as frustrating sometimes as that one boss is).

I live in the part of the world where freelance is not that easy, and often I did went for months without doing any work, or earning money (but I live in an old house, which I own, so no paying rent)but I was always able to use that free time to learn a new skill or improve.

congratulations on your achievements, and good luck.
