Don't lose the forest for the trees :) You seem to be more interested in seeing where my money goes, but getting out of the part-time freelance rut and getting hired to work full-time at an office is the goal here.
But if you insist, a lot of blanks include, rent changing whenever my income changes (section 8 housing), usually working only part-time, and paying a lot back to the US govt in self-employment taxes.
Bottom line is I am broke because I cannot hold a steady job. And that's what I need help in, getting the credibility to receive "normal" full-time job offers.
- pnloyd 8y agoDo you have a portfolio site? I had a 5 year hiatus from dev work and got a high paying software job within a year of trying. 1. Read numerous hacker news comments for advice. 2. Did freelance work for cheap but targeted jobs that I could learn highly desired skills (React, webpack, etc..) 3. Built a portfolio site with freelance work examples. 4. Applied to tons of jobs and got one. I also had to try extremely hard and live in Seattle which helps too. To be honest by the sound of your post your mind set is in a not so great place which is understandable. Perseverance
- duiker101 8y agoIf what you say it's true and after years in your situation you are still so broke, chances are that you'll be broke even with a full time job. So maybe it's not just your career that needs changing.
