The DSP is a lifesaver!! It was such a relief when I qualified for it. Don't qualify for the NDIS though. I've heard so many horror stories about it that I'm almost glad I don't? Neat that you have a list of approximate income and when, is that because you're with a publisher? I self publish so I go some months with nothing and then others with some, most I've gotten in one payout was about $40AUD.
Yes, these payments are via publishers. I have self-pubbed one book but only made about £20 so far. I don’t look to see what might be coming - I like the surprise 😂
I check almost daily to see if books have sold, can't help myself. So no surprise for me except when it comes to Amazon sending me the Royalties. they send it all over the place in very odd amounts.
They really do! A good friend of mine got a SEVEN FIGURE book deal a couple of years ago. As I was reading an article about it (thinking “good for her, but when me?”), I got a notification that Amazon had paid me 8p 🤣
Great question regarding how people came up with their savings plan! Also, I really like this advice to add up all the income we are expecting this year, to feel comforted. Nice.
I know what you mean Keris in regards in expense being disabled x
So many friends have told me the same thing.

thanks so much interviewing me Keris!! it was fun to share my story.
Thank you for being so open!
I'd love to be able to live without pain but fat chance when you have osteoarthritis x
I’m so sorry x
Why is “terrifying photo story” in the Thomas The Tank Engine font? 😂
😂 Maybe it’s that episode where one of the engines gets bricked up in a tunnel.
One of my absolute favourites! I can never remember whether it was Henry or Gordon.
“money is coming” what a great mantra! I worked with that one for the year last year. It stops me panicking😆
Yes! I’ve always used it as a mantra, I’ve never actually listed the money out before. That’s really helping me.
Also looking forward to my ALCS payment next month (probably about the same as yours, but every little helps!)
It does!

Thanks, Catherine. I got to add a small amount to my list yesterday and it feels good!
