A good friend of mine and me were talking about good credit and bad credit, and his thoughts on bad credit shocked me.

Recently I read a report on freelance salaries and how much marketing freelancers did in order to make $70+ per hour. The report by Ed Gandia, The 2012 Freelance Industry Report, showed those who marketed at least 4 hours per week made the most money. You may be wondering why I’m speaking to you about a freelancer’s report and trying to figure out how it pertains to you.
