This episode was recorded before the pandemic changed the world and I want to keep providing you with marketing and business tips. I also want to go back to normal content, since many of you might be inundated with, or tired of, hearing about the Covid-19 by now. If you’re subscribed to my newsletter, you will also get useful tips and resources on how to handle this pandemic, how to market right now and much more.

In this episode we talk about retirement. During my short time as a full-time employee, my company took care of saving for the retirement, but after I started as a freelancer, it was years and years before I even began thinking of saving for retirement. It was hard. I did not have a regular income, some months I earned a lot, and some months not. How could I possibly save for retirement then?

I invited Jennifer Harter a financial educator to talk about saving for retirement and investing in general.

Important things mentioned in this episode:

• First steps and a roadmap to save for retirement
• How to save when you have an irregular income
• Alternatives to retirement savings accounts
• Real Estate as retirement investment

Useful links mentioned in this episode:

• Jennifer Harter’s website: How to Be a Money Master

• I Will Teach You to Be Rich – Ramit Sethi

Any time is a good time to start investing in your long-term financial security, but the sooner you start saving for retirement, the better. I know this sounds like a dream for beginning translators that are struggling to earn enough every month, but as soon as you can, start putting away a little bit every month for retirement.
