Five financial strategies for freelancers
Rounding it up
Looking for ways to make it financially easier to work as a freelancer? Consider creating a salary for yourself on a monthly or annual basis.
If you’re starting a new gig, know what you want, whether it’s your salary or working hour flexibility — and demand it.
It also helps to set up a financial cushion and prepare a retirement plan in advance.
Don’t forget to keep your eyes on the prize; freelancing means dealing with uncertainty, but it also means doing work you love to do and getting rewarded for it.
