The Irregular Income Survival Guide

A SolarPunk guide — 70% of what you paid goes to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (EIN 93-1057665, pcrf.net).

Budgeting when you don't know what you're making

Every piece of standard money advice was written for a salary — same amount, same date, twice a month like clockwork. If your income comes out of a blender instead, all of it fails you. This is the system built from the ground up for irregular earners.

Who it's for

Freelancers and contractors, gig workers, commission salespeople, seasonal workers, small business owners, tipped workers, creative professionals — anyone juggling income streams that never arrive on the same schedule.

What's inside

The Low Month Method · the Hold Account system and how to set it up free · how to pay yourself a steady monthly "paycheck" from unsteady income · the 3-Month Buffer Rule built from zero · handling windfalls without blowing them · the tax trap nobody warns irregular earners about · the Bare-Bones Budget emergency protocol · four real irregular-earner case studies · scripts for the hard money conversations · and copy-ready templates and checklists.

Zero assumptions

Every concept — interest rate, quarterly taxes, hold account — is explained from scratch in plain language before it's used. Already know it? Skip ahead. Nothing here talks down to you.
