I’d be curious if there is anything that one should do differently when it comes to being a self-employed person - clearly there’s no 401k... but are there other things that should be approached differently?

You can do a solo 401(k) as a self employed person!  You can also do a SEP or SIMPLE, in addition to the standard IRA options that regular employees can do.  Lots of options!  Invest in your future!

oooh - Gautam Kanumuruand Chad Becker --- this feels like very fertile territory. All of the "gig economy" stuff, more and more people working for themselves and/or having side hustles -- I haven't done the research, but I'm betting that the financial investment/advice world hasn't quite caught up to this, in terms of offering comprehensive advice?

This is huge, and super relevant to the time we're in today. Thanks for this Rebecca! We'll definitely include something like this as part of our lessons.
