That's the only down side to self-employment...after 10 years I still can't budget during the "feast" to prepare for the "famine". My wife totally hates the self-employed lifestyle. I'm in the process of a nursing degree to get her off my back and a boat in the back yard .
My wife and I are both self employed[She has her own hair solon] so she understands plus she makes enough to support me most of my bad weeks.
She just doesn't support my tournaments when bills need to get paid.(she needs to get her priorities in lineemoSmile .
Once you win a few tournaments, she may actually encourage your habit...I mean, hobby. It's not like bass fishing is addictive or anything. I can quit anytime I want to.
Ha! Ha! that was a good one!She does encourage it just doesn't support it financially,although she did buy my last two curados for my birthday and Christmas.
