Show Notes
“Just save the same amount every month.” My husband Josh, an actor, has one question for that advice. Which month?
In this episode, Josh and I talk about how to save for retirement when you’re waiting on the next booking, freelance payment, or commission check. We walk through what a good month can do for a slow one, how to build a cash cushion around the gaps you’ve actually experienced, and how to decide what goes toward retirement before the next check lands.
We also share how we talk about money when one of us gets a steady paycheck and the other doesn’t.
No matter who you are or who you love, you deserve a retirement you can take pride in.
