Retirement SOS: Finance question

[RivShore]

Almost 3 thousand years ago, a Greek storyteller related something about this. Something about an ant and a grasshopper.

If your Greek is a bit rusty please see "It's a Bugs Life" (all threads lead back to Disney! LOL)

@FreckledOne, did you figure out how to do your quarterly payments ok, and make a somewhat reliable estimate of your expected income? That was one of your initial issues when you started the thread.

Yes, I did. I stressed over something simple. Thank you for asking

FINALLY, I started working after months of looking for a good J-O-B. It‘s an independent contractor position. I do know to set aside a percentage of each paycheck for taxes, IRA (pre-tax), and individual 401k (pre-tax). I‘ve heard of REIT and brokerage accounts. Not sure what else to do here. I just want to make sure I am not a pinching pennies pauper suffering in my twilight years.

For all you finance savvy people out there, what else can I do for retirement?

Ran across this thread again. It's been almost a year since you first posted. How has your year been? Still on plan with your taxes and savings?

So far, so good. Panicked over nothing. Saving and paying quarterly taxes. Thank you for checking up on me
