I've read too many books regarding budgeting and such, but they assume everybody gets paid the same times and roughly the same rates each time. I'm so glad I found this book, it's already helping and I haven't done any of the steps it lays out yet (but I'm about to start). Great read with some humor and very useful knowledge. If you're up to your ears in part time/sporadic/freelance work (or aren't, and isn't that the trouble?) then this book is VITAL to your sanity and overall health.
