Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while there is a decent baseline of income potential, it can be unreliable at times. Many people find success and can earn consistently, but there are also periods of fluctuation depending on client availability and demand. It’s not as unpredictable as a 2, where income swings wildly, but it lacks the predictability of a 4, where most months are similar and dependable.
