Do I love August?
It’s the time of the year I go broke. There are at least 5 birthdays in this month alone. I’m not counting friends’ birthdays because I don’t celebrate birthday with friends. These are family and extended family members, including my beloved.
I’m glad the month is over and I’m grateful to have completed a few freelance projects. It helps to supplement my spending on birthday celebrations.
Most freelancers will require upfront partial payment, but out of good will, I never collect money from clients, especially clients through referrals. I want to trust my clients that they will not cheat me.
I think “trust” is important to maintain a fair and good working relationship. The work gets done, the client is happy and I’m happy.
