My income varies so wildly that I can earn $15k one month and $1k the next. I have multiple projects and sometimes a product goes viral and does really well.
Due to how my income goes up and down constantly, I generally just feel poor and in constant struggle mode.
The project I’m most passionate about also does the least well financially. I’m not super ambitious, I started my company to try to make a difference. I’m thinking of getting a job again after 8 years of being self-employed.
Anyone relate?
Consider building an emergency fund with the surplus from the good months. This way, you’ll have a safety net. It’s also worth revisiting the projects that aren’t doing well and see if they can be tweaked for better returns, or if that energy is better directed elsewhere.
