It’s time to go over my budget for January 2026! This is my first budget of the new year, and I’m sharing exactly how I plan my money when I don’t have a traditional full-time job. If you’re a freelancer, content creator, or anyone with irregular income, this budget breakdown might help you plan your own finances. #budgeting #monthlybudget #freelancerbudget #finances
