This is so true, I have just left my job to do freelance SEO work, while it is very lucrative, i do find myself working longer hours than what I did before, usually just because of stress of whether I’ll have enough to pay the bill at the end of the month.

I think just about the whole of the US population can feel your pain. Hopefully, you are not in a position to lose your house, as are many people I come in contact with on a daily basis. It is really very sad this whole economic crisis.

U know I was about to write a comment encouraging all of us to regularly check our bank accounts as being in dennial of the situation can make things worse… when i suddently realized I havent checked my account in several days… why.. because i’ve been waiting for a direct deposit wire that seems to be taking forever (and I need it). sigh. I’ll check it now.

I’m reacting to the second phrase of your post: ”Working as a freelance anything definitely has its ups and downs.

On one hand, you have the luxury of working when you want, not having to ask your boss if you can duck out for a smoke or have to plan your meals around a business schedule. ”

Personally, I find that the great thing about working for myself is that I get to work only when I feel like it… as long as I feel like it at least 60 hours a week…

“and the client who suddenly disappears right in time–Just as soon as you send out your invoice.”

I know. I have lost count of the number of times someone has been in a flaming rush to get something going, until it comes down to writing a check. Then they suddenly get quiet.

There definitely are ups and down as a self-employed business owner. A bunch of money comes in and you feel rich and then you don’t get paid for two months. Ouch! Got to make it last.

Don’t give up man! We know that there bounds to have ups & down working as a freelance, just that you need to practice more self-control, I bet you can do it. Trust me =)

I always feel a cringe when I log in to check my bank balance! Glad to know I’m not the only one.

I totally get what you mean. I pretend to leave my bank accounts alone and live on the assumption that I’m broke all the time so I don’t go shopping all the time. Ahh.. Victoria Secret…

What about having a piggybank that you collect change, and can’t take the money out until disparate times? i think that is a good idea and has proven to be a saver for me when I look and my bank account has gone to nothing.

On that other hand when you work freelance you don’t have that great option of going public. This would be helpful in rasing capital and expandng your company. Dont miss out if you have a company, take it public.

I hear ya. Working in front of a computer is sooo distracting. I should be working now and I’m blog hopping, lol! I have so many prospective clients who have disappeared…*sigh* All the more to work harder, right?

Even though freelance has its cons and it can be risky and the earnings are up and down, i still think it is better than a 9 to 5 job. Plus those jobs aren’t that secure either.

I have been motivated by the blog a lot. Now I will face my bank account bravely and make it full of pennies and dollars.

OMG–I really hear you. I firmly believe in not making eye contact with my bank account. Ignorance is bliss until my hubby writes me a reality check.

Avoiding the bank account for a short time is OK. Need to take a look at it Tuesday morning.

I am with you sista!
Today I will bravely face my own bank account and “our” bank account. I will once again prove that it “takes money to make money!”
A new cheer-me-up bill pay trick is sending off checks in my very own FUN greeting cards! I consider this an “abundance” exercise i.e. if I pay bills gratefully and cheerfully that I can’t help but attract more of that universal goodwill and moolah. Then I also like to think of surprising some anonymous person on the other side with this random act of good humor!

Thanks for the topic. I don’t feel so alone with my checkbook this morn.
