I'm glad I saw this post! I didn't realize I even used Radar and archived the email after seeing the subject line. I only charge a handful of repeat clients every month and do not need their fraud protection.

Not cool Stripe. Don't opt people in when it costs money!

It looks pretty neat, but I'm not going to pay before trying something out. I don't even necessarily need to use it on my own site, but seeing the themes, customizing the widget, etc. I'd want to play with it before paying money.

By the way I really like the website and how you've laid the features out. Looks like a really neat tool.

I've never actually been in a corporate gig, only worked for small businesses, usually directly for the owner(s). But after running my own web dev company for awhile, I was recruited to work for a small finance company.

I enjoyed being on my own, and the pay was fine, but I really like this job. I have one boss to worry about (and he's awesome) instead of 5-10+ clients at any given time, my coworkers are nice and friendly (but not too much), and I'm getting paid really, really well.

This job is way better, but I think the biggest reason is because of the culture here, plus the pay.

- I don't typically work outside of 9 to 5 - I get paid every week no matter how much work I do (hello paid vacations, it's been awhile) - My boss usually has an idea for a thing to do, and then I do it - If I have an idea, boss will let me run with it unless there's a good reason not to - There's very little back and forth with picky clients who don't know how to tell me what they're looking for - I don't have to worry about finding revenue and keeping expenses in check

While I do sometimes think about work stuff all the time (how many times has the solution to a problem materialized when I'm in the shower after I've been thinking about it for 3 days?!), I don't feel guilty and I'll just send myself an email and tackle it on Monday.

A lot of banks charge fees for business checking accounts, so I recommend finding a credit union. If Navy Federal is in your area, they are excellent. I have five [free] business checking accounts with them, and haven't had any issues.

I also have an account with Azlo, which has been pretty good, but I don't think they support paper checks.

Thanks for sharing! I've been using Lunch Money for a couple months and really like it.

Forward $old to $new

Setup a filter in $new email that labels all mail received on the $old address, so you know where you need to update your email address

Keep this until you don't have any more emails coming in with that $old label for ... however long you're comfortable, 6 months, 1 year, forever. Unless there's a reason you need to decommission the $old one, I'd just leave it there
