I’m not sure what that means. Certain things are outside your control. When you’re self employed, and the world has collapsed, and there’s no money in the kitty to finance getting more work, you have to worry about staving off foreclosure today, not selling something next week. I have been making more money lately, but you have to get out of the hole before you can build above ground.
Or you can get a job that pays a regular salary. I could go get a PT job at Kroger nights and weekends bagging groceries and make an extra $1000 a month. That would pay my mortgage. I could make even more at a different job.
