Anyone with unreliable income!?  I own a family licensed daycare and this time of year is always rough.Anyone with unreliable income!? I own a family licensed daycare and this time of year is always rough. When I expect 2 kids to leave me to kinder and am told 2 more will leave to preschool. (Although i am also a preschool teacher ). So there is 4 incomes I will be losing in 5 months! I am starting to advertise for these spots NOW in hopes I get some bites lol. I have always been quick to fill up but it is still stressful! Luckily thanks to tbm, I have a good amount of $ saved to cover these months If I do not fill them as quickly as I hope. I just would love to hear other jobs that also could go from making a good amount, to next to nothing. aside from being laid off and what your plans are. Thanks!

My husband's job is super hit or miss, he works in the Port and we have really good trade and economy but his work all depends on when the boats come and go, he'll kill himself working for a month making anywhere from 2000-6000+ before taxes and then there will be nothing for a month or more. Makes budgeting really difficult.
