Here are some of my saved threads:

A suggested addition: warning signs that you're being exploited. A lot of freelancers who are just starting out don't have the knowledge or confidence to know their rights or value as a freelancer, and will allow an exploitative client to railroad them into a bad contract- or worse, no contract at all.

Good idea! Do you have any links to informative information?

Unfortunately I don't. I was hoping someone else might know of a resource.

Health insurance. Dealing with legal / regulatory issues. Accounting.

Classes of customers which are likely to pay late as a matter of policy, beyond the usual "why should I pay you now that I already have goods in hand" scumbags.
