I lost over $30,000 this year
My 2024 income report
You’ve got A-Mail!
I’m Anna Codrea-Rado – writer, critic (of myself) and only child – and this is my email newsletter.
Today’s edition is an Income Report, the only posts I paywall.
These posts are about the taboo we all need and think about constantly but don’t talk about: cash dollars. Income. How the bills get paid.
This isn’t one of those “I made six figures farting in my bedroom, and here’s my webinar so you can too” posts. No. This is a detailed breakdown of how much money I actually made, how I made it, what I screwed up along the way, and most importantly—how I feel about it.
Why I paywall these posts:
Because talking about money on the internet is fraught. The paywall is a way for me to retain some dignity.
Because they’re worth it! No fluff, no fake promises—just real talk and transparency about money.
I originally started writing these posts to demystify how I make money as a freelance writer, but over time, they’ve taken on a bigger mission. They’ve pushed me to explore how what I earn makes me feel—not just as a freelancer, but as a person navigating the complicated intersection of money, identity, and self-worth. I hope reading these posts does the same for you.
If that sounds like your vibe, hit subscribe, and I’ll tell you how much money I make.
