You Can Budget All You Want, People Have to Pay You First
Monday Money Check-in: July 10, 2017

Spent: $101 in disposable income. $1 over budget — woo hoo!
Earned: I only earned $450, and I need to bill $1,000 every week to make my budget work. So this week I need to earn $1,550. I have the work I can do. I’m on a book deadline, and literally none of that work counts toward any money. I’m probably making $2 an hour, all told. Haha. So, as a writer, it can feel like I’m working a lot, but then I realize that it’s not billable. I have to be more careful about that.
Amount in checking: $13. Can someone fucking pay me please??? Working for overseas publications is killing me. The money takes forever to get to me.
