Does having a salary-based position make more sense?

[Mitchell Powers]

Being a new 1099 employee myself (Investment Real Estate Agent), I find it difficult to truly map out a plan for investing given the uncertainty of my income. Of course, if done correctly I can make a significant amount of money through being an agent, but is the comfort of knowing your income and being able to accurately plan your "REI timeline" more important? I would love to hear the opinions of both 1099 and salary-based employees about how income impacts your personal investment plans and strategies.
