I get a big check when my code goes beta, but there are some significant bugs I must fix.
I was out of work for five years before I got this client. My coding skills had atrophied. I've gotten them back, but both my projects took quite a lot longer than I anticipated.
(I'm paid by the project, or for milestones.)
I have Cervical Radiculopathy - a pinched nerve in my neck that makes my left arm and shoulder extremely painful. A chiropractor is helping quite a lot, but I must pay him in advance for November's treatments. That's $325.
I also must buy food, pay my phone, internet and dental insurance bills. (Dental is required by Obamacare.)
When I get my beta check I will contribute to someone else's GoFundMe campaign.
