Pay Yourself a Salary: The Simple Money System for Freelancers with Irregular Income

By Ricardo Rocha

**Your income is irregular. Your rent is not.**

If you freelance, contract, or run a one-person business, you know the cycle: the great month that evaporates, the bad month spent checking your balance before breakfast, the tax bill that arrives with no pile of money waiting for it. Most money books can't help - they assume a salary.

*Pay Yourself a Salary* fixes the real problem: not that you earn irregularly, but that you pay yourself irregularly. In one weekend, you'll build a system of three accounts and four rules that turns unpredictable income into a fixed monthly paycheck - then run it in fifteen minutes a month.

Inside:
- How to calculate a salary you can trust from your own income history
- The tax buffer that turns tax day into an errand
- The stability buffer that absorbs feast and famine - and how big it needs to be
- Ready-made protocols for your best and your worst months
- The six ways people break the system, and how to avoid them
- A worksheet, a payday checklist and a one-page system diagram

Written for freelancers in any country - principles, not local tax rules. Short, direct, and built to survive your busiest month.
