## Resource

Tanya has been freelancing full-time for a year, but her income swings wildly from month to month—and she has no idea how to build a budget around a paycheck that never looks the same twice. Preston and George Azar, CPA and founder of Bright Budget, walk through the practical money systems that actually work for self-employed people: from percentage-based saving and high-yield accounts to the structural business move that can finally give you a steady, predictable paycheck from your own company.
