to be honest i have worked for the past 12 - 13 years  and apart from when im on holiday  i always know that as long as im working and putting in the hours ect that im going to earn xxx as a min   ive never  ever not once made   less than a 1k  if im working mon -fri  and that would be  a pretty shit week  ie school holidays  bank holiday or feb time ect
 
The only time i dont earn is when im not working or on holiday 
  So yes i could set up regular payment plans  if i needed to  in fact in the past cos i have had loans and car payments  that have to be paid ect regardless of what i earn  same as  my mortgage has to be paid regardless of what i earn  so its the same really 
i do appreciate though that for a lot of girls setting up now its a dam site harder  that it used to be in terms of making money saving it and keeping it as well   
   In fact i think if you have a set wage your more likely to go into debt whereas if your self employed your less likely as you know that you may not have money the next week to rely on

   

How can somebody like us set up a regular payment plan when self employed and have no idea how much we will earn each week. It's straightforward if you have a set wage.
