Being a freelancer means I’m constantly producing work and content but the parties I do the work with have either net-30, net-40, or net-60 days to pay me. That means I’m doing the work and it’s cool and fun BUT their accounting departments have 30 to 60 days to actually pay me. So I’ve been in this limbo of chasing checks for literally months. Times I thought I was getting paid right away? NOPE. It’s all been a bit of a gamble.
I just started a good gig that will pay me regularly (holla!) but they need two weeks to pay me my first check. I’m so close to relative stability. So yeah, if like 100-150 people could send me literally $1, it would take the boot off my very delicate neck.
