      No, but if those irregular paychecks are high enough, you may be able to create a reserve to work around it. Ti’s how owning businesses and being self employed works.

      Everyone thinks being youtuber/streamer is sweet until they realize they have no idea when the next ad-pocalypse or algorithm change will be and when they are getting paid next.

      This answer assumes a state of affairs where everyone living from paycheck to paycheck should be normalized. I think this way of thinking buries a much deeper issue which is that owners of capital continue to squeeze non-owners of capital.

      Let’s assume we address that problem and ask the question again.

      I would say, that choosing a riskier but higher average source of compensation is a perfectly reasonable, personal choice for someone to make.
