This is a book for people like us, and we all know who we are. We make our own hours, keep our own profits, chart our own way. We have things like gigs, contracts, clients, and assignments. All of us are working toward our dreams: doing our own work, on our own time, on our own terms. We have no real boss, no corporate nameplate, no cubicle of our very own. Unfortunately, we also have no 401(k)s and no one matching them, no benefits package, and no one collecting our taxes until April 15th. It’s time to take stock of where you are and where you want to be. Ask yourself: Who is planning for your retirement? Who covers your expenses when clients flake out and checks are late? Who is setting money aside for your taxes? Who is responsible for your health insurance? Take a good look in the mirror: You are. The Money Book for Freelancers, Part-Timers, and the Self-Employed describes a completely new, comprehensive system for earning, spending, saving, and surviving as an independent worker. From interviews with financial experts to anecdotes from real-life freelancers, plus handy charts and graphs to help you visualize key concepts, you’ll learn about topics including: • Managing Cash Flow When the Cash Isn’t Flowing Your Way • Getting Real About What You’re Really Earning • Tools for Getting Out of Debt and Into Financial Security • Saving Consistently When You Earn Irregularly • What To Do When a Client’s Check Doesn’t Come In • Health Savings Accounts and How To Use Them • Planning for Retirement, Taxes and Dreams—All On Your Own

Diary of a Freelancer was written not at the end of this story (is there one?), but in the middle of it all. It was written after tense phone calls or days with nothing to do. It was written during tiny victories and big failures, drawn from many long conversations with kindred souls. It is the thick day to day trenches of a human forging her own path, desperately trying not to quit. That human is Amanda Jones, and all of the scribbles you'll find in these pages, are excerpts from her journal in 2017. Everything real, spelling errors and all. Diary of a Freelancer has one job - to cheer you on in living your dreams. Whether your path is anything like Amanda's or from a different galaxy, may every page encourage you in your trailblazing and give you laughter, or at least a little chuckle.
