I’ve been a full-time freelance writer and web designer for 11 years now. For some of that time, I was married, and my then-husband worked full-time, so I was able to lean on his income during the times when my clients didn’t pay according to the terms of our arrangement. Also, for some of that time, my ex-husband was a full-time student, and I was able to keep us afloat while he earned his culinary degree.
