I always skipped setting aside cash for slow months, but a dry spell changed everything

I used to think putting money aside for slow times was a waste. Then I hit a period with no work for weeks. Seeing my bank account drop was TERRIFYING. Now I save a part of every payment. It feels so much safer and gives me peace of mind.

Still seems like overkill for steady gigs.

Actually, steady gigs can have way more last-minute changes than people realize. I've had clients ask for full rebrands overnight because their investor meeting moved up. That buffer isn't for the plan, it's for the panic.

Totally get it. Had a client demand a rebrand in 12 hours.
