Everyone dreams of the day they can stop saving for retirement.

But is it as simple as hitting a number?

AJ shares practical, realistic advice for artists, freelancers, and solopreneurs, whether you chose self-employment or the job market chose it for you. In this episode: How to set up your finances when you go out on your own How self-employment differs in your 50s versus your 30s How much to keep in an emergency fund when your income is unpredictable Jean is hosting a free Forever Paycheck book club November 17th at 7 ET.
