But... are you charging enough?

Let's talk about how we talk about money as freelancers

A few of you might remember this newsletter was originally only about freelance writing (rather than personal finance in general). And even since I’ve transitioned to Healthy Rich, I hear from a lot of you who are trying to figure out your overall financial situation while building a business or a freelancing career. This community has grown a ton since I published those early posts on freelancing, so I’m going to occasionally dig into the archives, polish one up and re-share it here.

This week, I’m starting with a freelancing topic that gets right to the heart of your relationship with money: setting rates.

This one’s for anyone who feels ashamed when they talk about money with other writers (or, I guess, also for those writers who are making others feel ashamed? So… if you’re a freelance writer, please read this).

💡 BTW, I’m not primarily a freelancer anymore. After a year of writing a book, my goal is to build this newsletter to a sustainable income. If you value my work investigating how capitalism impacts the ways we think, teach and talk about money, you can support this goal by becoming a paid subscriber:
