Growing up, I was taught never to talk about money or — especially — salaries. If I asked, I’d hear words like, “rude”, “none of your business,” and “that’s information for grownups.” Well, it’s now 2021, and times have certainly changed.

Here’s a piece I wrote about how I got into freelancing, including how much I make doing it.

Hope this helps anyone looking for information and inspiration. Let’s just hope I don’t get spanked for sharing.
