When you first begin working from home, there are so many things to think about and arrange that it can be difficult to think of arranging things like a retirement account. However, it is very important that you remember to fund your retirement.
If you are telecommuting, you can still take advantage of your employer’s retirement plan (don’t forget the matching funds!). This can be a great way to get started with saving for retirement.
If you have a home business, or if you are a sole proprietorship, you can still get the benefits of tax preferred accounts when saving for retirement. You can look into:
*IRA (or Roth IRA)
*Solo 401k (and Roth)
*SIMPLE
*Keogh
Speak with a knowledgeable accountant about your options, and start saving for retirement today.
