I have put a regular link post on the back burner for a while now. Now that Outlaw Design Blog is functioning as it should, I have decided to start doing a regular post showcasing 6 of my favorite links on any given subject.
Hence the name, Six Shooter Links.

I’m new to the working in design so my list of clients is very small!

Getting my (and now mine & my wife’s) finances in order and eliminating debt was such a huge move to help in a strong freelance transition. It really helped propel me from just doing it on the side as a hobby to taking it full-scale and relying on the money to live. Making finances the #1 point is perfect.
Great post.
