Self-employed. No control of finances. Need help.

I've been a self-employed person for the past decade.

On paper, it seems like I've 'made it' but in reality, I have zero savings to account for. On average, i earn 200k a year.

Anyone has any tips on how I can manage my finances better and also how do we save as a commission-based personnel because we don't know when is the next paycheck coming in unless we close deals everyday.

U need to know where ur money is going.

Where do your savings get used up?

I think the first step is to know where your money is going. If you are earning 200k, and am unable to save any, I think likely you do not know where you are spending your money. If it is not too daunting, you may want to speak to a someone to help keep you accountable in your expenditure. And to advice what are the areas which you are spending unnecessarily.

$200k a year is quite substantial.

could you break down how/where you spend your $200k?...
