Shitlaw boss here. In December, my weekly payroll is the same as ever. But I'm paying for tons of holidays and sick days for my employees, so I'm not getting as much work out of them. And lots of clients are slow about paying their bills, so I'm getting it on both ends. And to make matters worse, clients are more likely to come up with excuses as to why they need refunds so they can afford Christmas shopping. And I have to pay Christmas bonuses.

Anyone else dealing with this?

I'm halfway through.

The chick who is doing my invoicing at the moment was "sick" and "working from home" yesterday. So I stayed until 8:30 to send out invoices myself. Got 4 grand in payments within a couple of hours.

same. wife runs her own business and, while overall profitable, I always have to float her ~$100k this time of year for all of the above. basically means we are in debt December - February (when her collections pick back up and my annual bonus is paid)

There but for the grace of God go I.

We've slid into paying ourselves a $200K salary and just taking draws at the end of the year (we make exceptions for huge settlements), so december is not particularly stressful. That model has its own problems, since I'm having to go into CC debt throughout the year.

I am in the midst of Christmas party season at my various locations. I have spent a grand so far on Christmas parties.
