With irregular income, knowing where you stand mid-month helps you decide whether to pick up more work, slow spending or draw on your buffer.

Simple ways

  • A notes app or spreadsheet: date, source, amount
  • Download payout reports from gig apps monthly
  • Check your holding account balance weekly
  • Compare each month with your baseline
