Today's question comes from Travis Hostetter. He says, "I'm only a month into freelancing. I've just made $95 with another $500 on the way. The flexibility I have with my time is amazing. But losing a strong W-2 income has been hard. I'm in a position financially where I can be patient, but there are also operating opportunities to earn significant income as an employee. What are some of the biggest pros or positives of being a 1099 freelancer. How can being a 1099 outweigh the W-2 when the taxes are so high?"
He's basically struggling to decide if really this freelancing thing is worth it when there's so many higher-paying opportunities out there.
Today I'm joined by my friend, Adam Wright, and we're ready to answer.
