A small tip for the article: 5pm (project management tool) released recently a desktop Time Tracker (http://www.5pmweb.com/feature_timetracker.php).
It’s free for 5pm users and works on Macs and PCs.

This adds more value to those $18/month.

You know, that’s a pretty smart idea actually with the PSD2HTML. Although I love to code myself, sometimes it would be more feasible to outsource certain projects to these teams. For as cheap at they are with such a quick turn around, I could be focusing on others things as creating content and strategies for the clients website. Good tip.

I think the account would be a very important person because I know I’d have trouble balancing budgets and handling taxes at the end of the year.

I’d love to move to Canada next year so for the time being I’m trying to build that safety net. I’d love to save roughly a years worth of rent, food and transit before coming up.

I’m not sure if it would be best to try to start a freelance business or get on board with a local company first, but these are great tips if I go with the first.
Murray´s last blog ..Murlu: @MarkPoppen Making the jump. I did a bit of research on work permits but would love to know more. I’d like to eventually get dual citizenshi
