What Every Self-Employed Woman Needs to Hear About Retirement

from Expand Your Empire

The number most Americans say they need to retire comfortably is $1.46 million. The median retirement savings for women aged 45 to 54 is $115,000. That's a $1.3 million gap, and it hits self-employed women hardest, because the entire retirement system was built assuming someone else is handling it on your behalf.Nobody is. So let's talk about how you build it yourself.In this solo episode, Amanda breaks down the retirement conversation nobody had with the self-employed woman, the real numbers behind Social Security, what that balance in your retirement account actually means after inflation, taxes, and fees, and what's inside the full toolbox that most of us were never handed.This is not a panic episode. It's an information episode. And information, it turns out, is the thing most of us were never given.In this episode:Why the number in your retirement account is not your retirement number. What Social Security actually covers and what the trust fund trajectory means for your planning right now. Why the conventional retirement playbook was never designed for the self-employed woman. What a SEP IRA and a Solo 401(k) actually are and why they're dramatically underused. The full list of vehicles available to build wealth, and why the women who retire with real options build layers, not buckets.Join the Investing 101 waitlist: https://link.metropolisbusinessdevelopment.com/widget/form/OUu3eDS4KhiVwPhwVSpmConnect with Amanda:https://elevateprofit.biz/home-641285
