When financial gurus recommend setting aside 15-20 percent of your income toward retirement, your eyes may glaze over. After all, as an independent contractor or small business owner, you know income is often sporadic. Clients don’t always pay on time. Markets tend to move in cycles. Seasonal fluctuations may pinch your company’s cash flow.
You also know bills need to be paid – every month. Once you’ve settled up with suppliers, utility companies, lenders, and all those other folks clamoring for your money, most of your remaining cash may need to be pumped back into the business to keep it afloat. Contributing to a retirement account can seem like a luxury you can’t afford.
