Pay Yourself a Steady Salary From an Unsteady Income
A system to turn lumpy freelance income into a steady personal salary.
Who it’s for: Freelancers with feast-or-famine cash flow and payday envy.
What’s inside
- Freelancers don't have an income problem; they have a payday problem — build your own
- The buffer account: 8 weeks of calm between your clients and your rent
- Pay yourself the same on March 1 and August 1 — here's the plumbing
- Feast months are for your future self, not your cart
Written for the moment when: feast-famine cycles; guilt spending in good months; panic in slow months.
