Irregular Income 101

My income is so inconsistent, but you shared a lot of really great information and that has stuck with me. We had a slow month recently and I remember you saying that it's ok to sell your things and to look at what you need to do to make more money. To ask God to help you and He will bless you with ideas and opportunities. That helped me get through the slow month!

Since I work on commission and my paydays are totally inconsistent, I have never been able to figure out a way to organize my money because paychecks are so stinkin’ irregular and sometimes it feels like forever between paychecks. Charissa helped me develop a plan of action and to my shock---it works! She cut through all the past feelings of money failure, fear and dread into stress-free easy money management! Now I WANT to spend time budgeting because I love the feeling of peace and knowing that my bills are paid on time and I know exactly where my money is going.

I feel it is really going to lift a lot of stress off me. I feel like I can create a solid budget now instead of being so scattered and always feeling like I was behind. I have tried for years to make a budget and it just wasn't working--mostly because I got discouraged and quit. I now realize that it's going to change every single month and it *is* going to get better if I continue to be diligent and consistent. To not feel guilty for using saved money for lean months--I am not a failure because of some slow months. That when I am living in fear that I am not trusting God that he will provide. I really needed to hear those words. I have tried other budgeting courses in the past and have been very disappointed--I almost didn't spend the money for this course, but I am so glad I did. Thank you. I just wish there was a written transcript to refer back to. I need to go back and make notes, as I need to carry the wisdom of the key points, especially the last lesson, with me for when things get difficult.

I became debt free at the end of last year
I thank God that he provided extra work for me last year so that I became debt free at the end of last.
He prepared me for this pandemic. I am living on savings now as the courts are closed and there is no need currently for my legal transcriptionist service.
I am keeping the faith that he will replenish what I use in this period.
I pray God will continue to bless you and you will be a light to others who need to get out of debt.

We're finally catching up on our bills that were behind and once we do that we'll be putting money towards savings and debts. I do use your method and it has helped so much. I've even been able to get my husband on board too!
