He had to know exactly what he was going to make every 2 weeks so he could stay on budget. I remember thinking how different that was than my thought process, but at least the guy was happy with his situation. |
I think there are a lot of people like that. They tend to spend every dollar they have plus every dollar they can borrow and then they need to know what their paycheck is going to be so they can make all the payments. If you live paycheck-to-paycheck, then you probably need a predictable paycheck.
If you can get away from that then all that matters is really your income over the longer haul, like yearly. Sometimes it takes a few months or years to put a project together and make it pay off; you have to have capital to get you through it.
