While living in Los Angeles and traveling to New York, I have made a lot of friends that work in the industry. (Not the finance industry, the entertainment industry. ) These are the worlds artists, the creatives, storytellers, actors, makeup artists, production assistants and sound engineers. The list goes on and on. These careers are essential, but it comes at a cost. To be an artist you have to be a hustler, which means work is on a project by project basis with odd hours and many different employers at a time. Traditional employers provide 401ks, which are great investment vehicles where employers will contribute towards the investment fund. Artists on the other hand do not have this advantage. So what is an artist to do? Well there is hope. You don’t need a PhD in Finance to be financially independent and you don’t have to be a “starving artist” to enjoy life’s beauty. You can have both.
