Not having a spouse frees you up to do all kinds of things. Especially with healthcare.

Pay a shit ton of money for a solid healthcare plan via ACA. Hope maybe the tax gods look upon me fondly for a meager tax credit. Pray for full time employment. Rinse and repeat.

It could just be called the CA

Paying sooooo much money… but it’s worth it to freelance IMO

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?
