I stopped freelancing alongside working a full-time job because the one year I did pull in a nice payment for a frankly miserable project, they wanted 50% of it and then the other 50% as “payments on account” because their system assumed I was going to do that well again next year.
It was the first time I’d earned a decent amount in about five years of freelancing, and the stress of seeing those demands was just too much for me.
I was freelancing alongside a 40+ hour a week job to get out of debt, but I’ve jacked the whole thing in because it feels so gross.
