 TITLE: 6 Ways to Save for Retirement When You’re Self-Employed CONTENT: Plan Now for a Secure Retirement\n--------------------------------\nSelf-employment puts you in control of your life—but it could require some extra legwork when securing your financial future. The earlier you start saving for retirement, the longer your money will have to build compound interest. Making a financial plan, by yourself or with help from a financial advisor, can help you prepare for your golden years and create a budget to save for the future.\nReducing debt and maintaining a good credit score can also help ensure smooth sailing in retirement. You can get your credit report for free from all three consumer credit bureaus through AnnualCreditReport.com. You can also check your credit report and FICO® Score☉ based on Experian data for free through Experian. Keeping close tabs on your credit helps make sure you're prepared for any borrowing you want to do in the future. Many retirees want to buy or rent a new home, use credit cards to travel or pay off medical bills. Good credit can make it easier to achieve these and other financial goals. END
