1 - finding new work when I'm available for it - when it rains, it pours. Sometimes I have to much work, sometimes nothing for weeks.
2 - Inconsistent pay times. I freelance primarily for a company. Sometimes I get half down, sometimes payment is late. This is probably me being lazy, but I'm expected to get the work done by a certain day; I in turn, expect to get paid by a certain day.
3 - Lack of benefits. I haven't pulled the trigger on freelancing full time because I don't buy into the health care for everyone thing in the USA yet and having a day job that pays me on time and provides me full medical / dental / vision is nice to have. Plus; my wife works nights so may as well earn some extra cash and not watch tv / play video games all night.
