Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to freelancing and I just set up my Fiverr gig.

I’m currently offering a 2-page in-depth Finance memo with quantified mathematical analysis and consulting for $5 USD.

I lowered my price a lot because I’m just starting out and I’m trying to build reviews and experience fast. My thinking was to compete hard on price first, then improve and scale later.

Do you think this is worth it as a beginner strategy, or am I undervaluing myself too much?

Would really appreciate honest feedback from people who’ve been in freelancing longer.

We broke up mutually and decided to reach out back months after. Everything went well! Until…

She went on a random rant out of nowhere and said how I use to never use to buy her anything and would be very hesitant. (We were together in High school and I only work in the summer, minimum wage. I saved up money for college by myself since my dad is the only income earner in the house whom gets paid not much.)

I was shocked when she said this. She knew that I was going to save for my ENTIRE college expenses, and knew my family’s finance struggles… that being said, I got her food when she asked, rings, flowers, and other stuff.

I never ask my father for money, he works hard enough to put food on the table so I make sure to never tell him when I’m a few dollars short.

Don’t get me wrong, she did buy me stuff but it was always her parents money. She never brought this up in the relationship but now it’s a problem in which she can’t look past. Am I overthinking and overreacting?

When she said that, all my feelings for her faded.
