I had a similar experience for my taxes as well since I was W-2 and had self employment income last year. It gets better and I believe in us!

I loved this - and the podcast. I'm glad and relieved of your decision to invest in yourself. Another way to frame it would be, What would 90-year old Cece say? 90-year old Cece (whether her 401k is huge or average) would be disappointed if she hadn't bet on herself.

Yeah, self-employment tax is a HUGE shock if you’re not prepared for it. My husband was self-employed before law school so I had a heads up going in to my own self-employment. But I know lots of people who had a really rude awakening when tax time rolled around after their first full year of self-employment! Ugh, sympathy.
