Mindful Money Management: 10 Essential Tips for Freelancers
As a freelancer, managing your finances can be challenging. However, with mindful money management, you can achieve financial stability and success.
In this article, we will share ten essential tips to help freelancers effectively manage their money and secure a prosperous future.
Set a Budget: Create a monthly budget to track your income and expenses. This will help you understand where your money is going and enable you to make necessary adjustments to achieve financial goals.
Separate Personal and Business Finances: Maintain separate bank accounts for personal and business finances. This separation will simplify tax filing, expense tracking, and provide a clear overview of your business's financial health.
Save for Taxes: As a freelancer, you are responsible for paying your taxes. Set aside a portion of your income for taxes to avoid any surprises when tax season arrives. Consult with a tax professional to determine the appropriate percentage to save based on your income.
Establish an Emergency Fund: Freelancers often experience fluctuations in income. Build an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses or periods of low income. Aim to save three to six months' worth of living expenses to provide a safety net during challenging times.
Diversify Your Income Sources: Relying on a single client or project can be risky. Explore opportunities to diversify your income sources, such as taking on multiple clients, offering additional services, or creating passive income streams.
Negotiate Rates: Regularly assess your rates and negotiate with clients to ensure you are being adequately compensated for your work. Research industry standards and the value you bring to the table to justify the rates you propose.
Track Expenses: Keep detailed records of your business expenses to maximize deductions during tax season. Utilize expense tracking tools or apps to simplify this process and ensure accuracy.
Invest in Professional Development: Investing in your skills and knowledge is crucial for long-term success. Allocate a portion of your income towards professional development, such as online courses, workshops, or conferences, to stay relevant in your industry.
Plan for Retirement: As a freelancer, you don't have access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. Take charge of your retirement by setting up an individual retirement account (IRA) or exploring other retirement savings options that suit your needs.
Seek Professional Advice: Consider consulting with a financial advisor or accountant who specializes in working with freelancers. They can provide tailored advice, help you optimize your finances, and ensure you are making informed decisions for your financial future.
Conclusion: By implementing these ten essential tips for mindful money management, freelancers can take control of their finances and pave the way for a successful and secure future. Remember, being proactive and intentional with your money is key to achieving financial stability and thriving in your freelance career.

AITA for jerkin' it to Goya's Black Paintings?
Emojis for convenience and humor: 🎨🖼🍆💦
I know someone's gonna yell bait about this but idc, like, what? Do you want proof? Video evidence? Grow up.
So I (30x) really like Goya's Black Paintings. Like, Saturn Devouring His Son, Duel with Cudgels, A Pilgrimage to San Isidro. I think they're hypnotic, beautiful, evocative. They make me feel emotions I can't quite explain properly.
As the title says, sometimes I beat my meat to them. Whatever. It's not really about horniness. But the intent doesn't matter.
Recently (in a discussion about sexuality in art, I promise it was relevant, similar sentiments were being shared) I mentioned to my partner (33nb) that I do this. They were pretty taken aback.
Apparently, they find this 'gross' and 'kind of dodgy' because Goya's black paintings were never intended to be shared with a wider audience. They were art that he did not mean to share, painted on the walls of his house near the end of his life. They say it seems like the work is too personal to jerk off to, that it seems invasive or like a violation.
I don't think it's a big deal. The guy is dead, it's not like his ghost knows what I'm doing. It's a good thing to consider, but I don't think it ultimately matters, ethically.
So, I guess AITA for this?

Turn on "prevent third-party sharing" in your settings!
Go into your settings, click on your blog name, scroll down and enable "prevent third-party sharing". I'm gonna be honest, I question how much/if this even prevents any AI bullshit, but do it just in case anyway.
Edit: On Mobile it's the Settings Gear, Visibility, Prevent third-party sharing.
You have to turn that on for all your blogs separately.
