Ask What is a common misconception about income stability in freelancing?

[Edward22]

Many people around me believe freelancing gives fast and steady income from the start, but it does not always work that way in real life. Some months can be very good, while others can be slow with little or no work coming in. This makes it hard to plan spending or savings, especially for beginners. Even skilled freelancers face dry periods sometimes. From your own experience, what do you think people get wrong about how stable freelance income really is over time?
