Ask HN: How do you survive as a freelance web developer?
I suppose it would help if you had a buffer&#x2F;savings. At best I&#x27;d have a month or two, and my needs to survive isn&#x27;t much in fact at the moment being employed I would be lucky to make 20K a year.<p>I freelance but I&#x27;m afraid of charging by the hour thinking that I am not good enough to be worth their money.<p>I also realize that freelancing is ultimately not the answer to bring financially independent. You need to build automated services or products for passive income.<p>I hate my job&#x2F;life. In 3 weeks I&#x27;ll be unemployed again. I&#x27;ve been trying to get a web dev position but no luck. I should add that I am not &quot;current&#x2F;up to date&quot; with the various technologies such as Angular&#x2F;Node&#x2F;Gulp&#x2F;Git&#x2F;Laravel-Symfony, etc...<p>I know the scratch code and learn to develop on LAMP. I realize the time and collaborative benefits of frameworks&#x2F;libraries.<p>I don&#x27;t know I need to whip myself more and work harder, be a self-starter as they say. It&#x27;s the fear. Will I make it? What if...
