Wait wait wait hold on - you were making $3,200 a month freelancing and turned down a full-time job at $55,000? That math doesn't even work out the same! $55,000 a year is like $4,583 a month so you were earning way less freelancing and still said no? I get liking the freedom but June sounds like a nightmare month for you. I really hope those clients came back and made it worth it in the end because that gap you had would have driven me absolutely crazy.
