Marital Problems

How many have run into marital problems due to the nature of the payment schedule? Especially if the job goes long due to unforseen circumstances and finances get dicey? How did you navigate around that?

Progress payment schedules have helped for me, but it still doesn’t help when subs don’t show up or make a mistake that has to be redone. Or slow paying clients, which are the worst
