When I first began the self-employment journey - I was COMPLETELY terrified of handling my own finances. I am not the best when it comes to this, even when I was an employee and didn’t have to worry about taking out my own taxes or paying for my own health insurance. This is a whole new ball game…and why does it all feel expensive when you have to do it all yourself? I kept telling myself, don’t let the size of that paycheck pre-tax make you think you’re making big bucks…easyyyy Brigid! A daily occurrence of thoughts that ran through my head:
Would I mess it up? Most likely.
Would I owe the IRS millions of dollars? I don’t make barely an ounce yet, but most likely?
Would the stress of it lead me to burn out, on top of everything else this year? YES. Shit.
After weeks of researching and endless videos on YouTube trying to teah me what an scorp was, I finally discovered Collective. Thank the heavens!
