If you're on a steady salary, creating a spending plan is straightforward, because you know both what's coming in and what's going out every month.

But what if you don't have a stable salary? What if you're one of the millions of Americans who do side work or own a business or get paid commission?

For you, a variable income is just part of the deal. This is also true for people who depend on tips, like bartenders, Uber drivers, servers -- you name it.

So, how are you supposed to budget or create goals when you don't know how much money you're going to make tomorrow, much less next month or next year?

Let's find out. In today's podcast, we're going to tackle the topic of creating a stable budget with an unstable income.

As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. Our guest is Barbara Sloan, a former exotic dancer and the author of "Tipped," a book about financial empowerment for service industry workers.

Be aware that nothing you hear on this podcast constitutes financial advice. Always do your own research and consult your own experts before acting on anything you learn here.

Get more from your money

Don't forget about money moves you can make, no matter what your income looks like. Here are some of our best resources for budgeting, saving, investing and spending your money.

Meet this week's guest, Barbara Sloan

Barbara Sloan is the author of the book Tipped: The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals.

Barbara was a homeless teen, who danced for dollars, and definitely did not graduate from college. She spent two decades working in every imaginable position in the service industry all over the country and learning about money on her own.

In addition to owning and running a construction company in the heart of Manhattan, she is a personal finance expert and coach. She leverages her experience in the service industry to focus on issues that many in the mainstream financial media don't cover.

Barbara lives in New York City with her wife of 10 years, an esteemed corporate finance exec, and together they are a couple of adorable money nerds who point out every dog they see.
