Three buckets, one weekend
Open (or nickname) three separate accounts: everyday, taxes-and-fees, buffer. Every time money comes in, split it the same way — for example 70 / 20 / 10.
You never have to 'find money' for a bill again. It's already sitting there waiting.
Build a one-month buffer first
Before dreaming of six months of savings, aim for one full month of expenses tucked away. It's the difference between panicked pricing and calm pricing.
Know your quiet number
What's the minimum monthly revenue that keeps your business alive? Write it down. Everything above that is choice; everything below is a signal to act.
Pay yourself on a schedule
Freelancers get in trouble when personal spending happens whenever money hits the account. Pay yourself a fixed 'salary' on the 1st and 15th and let the business account breathe.
