The One-Month Buffer — A Freelancer's Guide to Ending the Feast-and-Famine Cycle

Stop living invoice-to-invoice. If your income arrives in unpredictable lumps, the problem usually isn't how much you earn — it's the timing gap between when money comes in and when bills go out. The One-Month Buffer gives you one simple, repeatable system to close that gap for good.

Live on money you already earned last month, pay yourself a steady salary, and make slow seasons feel calm and boring. This practical, do-it-this-week workbook walks you from zero to a full one-month cushion in 90 days.

What's inside:

• The one-month buffer system, explained step by step
• How to split every invoice the day it's paid
• Paying yourself a fixed monthly salary from a variable income
• Bare-bones vs. full budget planning worksheets
• Tax-reserve and sinking-fund templates so nothing is a surprise
• A 90-day plan and a start-this-week checklist
