Even though I'm getting unemployment,

Even though I'm getting unemployment, I've decided not to incorporate it into my spreadsheet. One, because it would be too complicated. Quit laughing. Two, because the point of the spreadsheet is to track how effectively freelancing works for me, not how close I get to going completely broke.

So what it will do for me is just help me pad my emergency fund and not go through it so fast. That's good.

I did learn that with my current client, that whether I work six hours or 26 hours, I'm making the exact same amount of money. That's tough to stomach. I can still do it, but the only motivations would be to stave off boredom, complete a project, and protect future unemployment benefits.
