30: Retirement Savings Options for Self Employed Women

You did it. You made the leap.

You left behind that corporate 9-to-5, the micromanaging boss, the freeloading coworker...

Now, you've started your own thing. You have endless potential. The world is your oyster. You can do what you've always dreamed of.

It's a dream many of us are striving for. But, it's easy to forget that we still should be saving for retirement. As a self-employed person or a business owner, how do we pick the right retirement plan to set ourselves up for success?

Listen in as Stephanie and Kevin shine a torch to guide us down the exciting but often muddy path to retirement by speaking on how to choose between the different retirement savings options available.

"SEP-IRAs still may be the best option for you, but…" (2:37)

How do you save for retirement on a tax-favored basis if you're self-employed? (2:50)
