I think you need to revisit your rates. I've seen this a few times, but one of the issues with sticking with freelancing is you don't realise what the going rates are anymore. Sure you can compare it amongst friends and acquaintances you've known for a while, but they are blind too. $20k today isn't what it was 10 years ago.
Sure it depends on where you are, but if you stick with local clients you are always going to be limited (unless you live somewhere like London).
(I'm a generalist, mainly Ruby, and have been freelancing for 18 months. Last month was my best month and I was just short of the $20k mark, before tax)
