Self-employed individuals and gig workers with unpredictable monthly earnings struggle to create meaningful budgets when income fluctuates 30-70% month-to-month. Traditional budgeting apps like YNAB and Mint assume consistent paychecks, making their percentage-of-income budgeting models unreliable and frustrating for freelancers who need to plan based on variable cash flow.
