How do you deal with income insecurity? (alien.top)

My income varies so wildly that I can earn $15k one month and $1k the next. I have multiple projects and sometimes a product goes viral and does really well.

Due to how my income goes up and down constantly, I generally just feel poor and in constant struggle mode.

The project I'm most passionate about also does the least well financially. I'm not super ambitious, I started my company to try to make a difference. I'm thinking of getting a job again after 8 years of being self-employed.

Anyone relate?

If you're 15k is more toward the norm you could consider a line of credit with your bank. They won't give you much but smoothing this pattern is one of the main uses.

Just starting out you won't get much.
