LOL. See, you just have to spin it in a way that works for you. Some snot-nosed little banker gets arrogant with you, but you're the one traveling to the UK every year... And I have a credit card on the account, but the bill is solely in Kevin's name. Doesn't get much better than that!

Last time we dealt with the bank, when they heard what I did they said, "Why don't we just put this in Kevin's name?" <b>little lady.</b><br />
<br />
how annoying. yeah, had that happen.<br />

Dianne, I've certainly used my contract when buying a house. I think it's funny, because book contracts get cancelled all the time so in reality it's not solid proof of future income -- but it does seem to work.

I can't say I went through anything like discrimination, exactly, but I learned early on after quitting the day job that the fastest way to get across the point that I really could support myself via writing as a form of self-employoment was to take a copy of my current contract with me as proof of income.<br />

The IRS is the absolute worst in making life difficult of self-employed writers. I'm sure I don't need to explain that statement to anyone living in the US.
