Does freelancing really make enough money?

People are telling me to go freelance (mainly by americans who have a different attitude to business), seriously, does it make enough money? There are already shed loads of freelancers advertising their rates and services in the labor market.

Doing what? CGIs or architecture? How much experience do you have? Are you prepared to graft for a long time doing extensions and loft conversions? From what I witness, its a long graft setting out on your own, probably worth it long term if you've got the means to support yourself independently financially for about five years + whilst you get your name out there. I know some very talented architects who have worked for good practices and after three-four years my guess is they still aren't making as much money as they hoped going it alone would bring them.
