And that is invoicing to 1 consumer. Ignore the Overdue be aware, that could be a fee plan for a web site. He’s paid 50% down, however the different two funds are due as milestones are hit. I ought to obtain the rest by the tip of August.
That is my latest consumer. He’s additionally my lowest paying consumer proper now. (Properly, since consumer #3 gave me a increase final week.) However makes up for that in quantity. He’s been with me since March.
Shopper #2
I really obtained to fulfill this consumer in particular person throughout a protracted weekend journey to Chicago. Don’t fear, the entire journey value me lower than $70. I used factors for the flight, paid for one meal for Princess and I, and staying together with her in her lodge that her new job is paying for.
My consumer paid for all my different meals exterior of breakfast which was included with the lodge. And he drove me to and from the workplace. Win-win!
This consumer has been with me since February. Some week’s are nice. And a few are silent. He pays me $60 per hour lately.
Shopper #3
I really obtained a increase this previous month, however gained’t see it in my revenue till this month. However went from $20/hr to $40/hr – woot, woot! I solely work between 2-7 hours per week for this consumer. Nevertheless it’s been regular since both February or March. And I genuinely benefit from the work. And the folks. (I actually get pleasure from all my work and all of the folks with few exceptions.)
Different Shoppers
I’ve obtained 1/2 dozen or so different purchasers which are hit or miss each month for hours or initiatives. However these three above have been with me since this previous spring. And they’re all rising in hours, accountability, and cash. However phew, this has been a busy month.
Revenue Total

A couple of 1/3 of all revenue goes to the federal government in a single type or style. And the remainder to budgeted objects. I’ll get an replace for my financial savings and debt out this week. *crossing fingers that I’ve a second to breathe.
And I’ll end that collection on the place the home cash went too. Promise I’ve simply been slammed with work! A great factor that I’m so grateful for.
