Right now I’m trying to learn how to be self-employed.
Because I have no clue.
Most of the personal finance blogs I’ve come across are all people with huge salaries (and usually huge debt too). I make way less than they do and I’m self employed. My situation seems so different. I’m definitely learning from those blogs, but I need to find more resources for personal finance when you are self-employed. Like how to budget as a self-employed person.
I never budgeted when I had a salary, and now I’m trying to learn how to budget when I have a fluctuating income. Ah. Hard. I’m googling and browsing and searching for info so I can make this work.
After just a week of tracking my spending, and the spending forced onto me by the needy family, I know I’ve got to make a budget and stick to it. I can’t let this ship sink!
So far I’ve found some helpful resources for budgeting when self employed:
Budgeting on a self-employed or irregular income.
Budgeting and tax advice for the self-employed.
Tips for budgeting when you are self-employed.
Four budgeting tips for the self-employed.
And a three part series on budgeting that I liked:
How To Budget With Irregular Income (2)
Now I’m off to read through these again and make my own budget!

Thanks for the links! Budgeting with irregular income is always a pain, but it can be done. I hope you can find a system that works for you!
