Rant: My worst week ever started with a client ghosting me on a $2,500 project

Monday, the client just stopped replying after I sent the final draft. Wednesday, my main laptop died, lost a day's work. Friday, two other small jobs got pushed back a month. What saved me was having three months of rent in my emergency fund, set aside from last year's big job. How do you guys handle it when everything goes wrong at once?

Man, that's brutal... glad you had that fund though. Did you have a backup plan for the laptop data, or was that just a total loss?

Total loss, @mia_scott77, my backup plan was just hoping for the best, which worked out as well as you'd guess.
