The prospect of becoming full-time is so daunting, but I'm learning more about how I'll need to rethink finances when I'm not sure of getting a check exactly every two weeks.Shanna Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652987585003575225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019174666736639320.post-31476685933666134432009-03-03T09:24:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:24:00.000-08:00I've definitely learned, as a freelancer, NOT to s...I've definitely learned, as a freelancer, NOT to spend money that I don't have! I was always paying bills online with the anticipation that checks would arrive in the mail on certain days. Not good! (Plus, I was always in panic mode.)<BR/><BR/>Today, I never pay bills with money that's not already in my account, and like you, I've begun stashing money away in a separate account. That way I have reserves to lend to myself when an emergency arrises. <BR/><BR/>Typically, I try to ignore any "extra cash" on hand and only pay my bills from alloted reserves. It's amazing how much less money I'm actually spending as my savings grows!Lisa Bakewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547554241661226246noreply@blogger.com
