Money Systems for People Who Don't Get a PaycheckBy Fida Recorded Track
Length1h 16m

About this audiobook

Every book about money assumes you get a paycheck. You don't. If you made four thousand dollars in March and eight hundred in April, standard advice is useless to you. Budget for the month — which month? Save twenty percent of your paycheck — of which paycheck? Feast, Famine, Floor is a set of mechanical instructions for building the thing a salary would have given you, using the income you actually have. Stop budgeting by the month. Put every dollar you earn into a holding account you never spend from. Pay yourself a fixed salary out of it, on a schedule, at an amount you choose. Let the account absorb the swings so you don't have to. Written for freelancers, drivers, creators, commission earners, and anyone whose income refuses to sit still. Covers finding your floor, setting your salary, building a buffer from nothing, handling tax before it handles you, and what to do when the good months and bad months arrive. Narrated with a synthesized voice.
