These budgets require you to know exactly how much you\u2019re going to make month after month, and to allocate a percentage of that amount evenly between all of your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of budgeting not only doesn\u2019t work for an actor\u2019s income fluctuation, but it also doesn\u2019t jive well with a creative brain. Spreadsheets and rigid structures to adhere to? No, thank you. I\u2019ve got art to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t been able to make budgeting work for you, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re bad at money. It simply means you lack the right money management system. You need a system built for artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of trying to retroactively budget your fluctuating income, you can create a cash flow system like the one outlined here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/steps-to-creating-a-money-plan-with-fluctuating-income\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>4 Steps to Creating a Money Plan With Fluctuating Income<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cash flow system like this will help you identify your consistent spending range (consistent doesn\u2019t have to mean \u201cas little as possible\u201d), automate your bills, and use your high-income months to buffer your low-income months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows you to remove yourself from a rigid structure of tracking and having to manage your money every day. It can give you more breathing room to do your art while your money is managed for you in the background. Managing your money can actually feel simple and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Takeaway:<\/b> You don\u2019t need budgets and spreadsheets to be good with money; you can manage it like a creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"2\">Myth: Retirement Accounts are for People With 9-to-5s<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Retirement accounts used to be just for people with 9-to-5 jobs (this was during a time when the only kind of job you could have was a 9-to-5). Employers used to offer all their employees pension plans, meaning they would pay for the employee\u2019s retirement in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, employers have mostly gotten rid of pension plans, putting the responsibility of retirement on the individual employees. 9-to-5 workers now contribute to their own retirement accounts (a 401(k), 403b, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there were always other ways to contribute to a retirement plan outside of a 9-to-5; it\u2019s just that the most common way was through a pension or 401(k).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retirement accounts available to freelancers and self-employed artists are an IRA (traditional or Roth), a solo 401(k), a SEP IRA, and a SIMPLE IRA. There are numerous options available to people beyond the traditional 9-to-5 employee-sponsored retirement plan structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most commonly used and easiest to open is a Roth IRA. You can open one of these at any time (as long as you have some sort of earned income), and you can contribute up to $6,500 a year! If you invest that maximum amount for 30 years, your money will grow to over $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even if you only contribute $20 a month, your money will still earn $38,000 on top of what you\u2019ve contributed\u2014no amount is too small when it comes to investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also don\u2019t have to be consistent with contributing to retirement (contrary to other money advice you may see out there). For example, during the strikes happening right now, it may feel hard to find extra cash to put toward your 60-year-old self\u2014that\u2019s okay! When you have seasons of higher income down the road, you can contribute then, and when leaner months come, it\u2019s okay to pull back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you can\u2019t think about a retirement account right now, that\u2019s okay, too. You are not behind, and a retirement account will be there for you when you are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Takeaway:<\/b> Retirement accounts, investing, and wealth-building are available to actors outside of the 9-to-5 structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"3\">Myth: Paying Fees to the Bank is Unavoidable<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Paying fees to a bank is anything but normal. Let\u2019s talk about what banks are and how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you deposit money into a bank, it doesn\u2019t just sit there in a safe waiting for you to come get it. They take your money (and everyone else\u2019s) and use a large portion of it to give out loans or invest in other money-making vehicles. They are using your money to make more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are not doing you a favor by holding your money. You are doing them a favor by letting them hold onto your money while they go earn money from it. They should actually be paying you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And some banks are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are online banks like Ally and Marcus by Goldman Sachs that will pay you over 4% interest on the money you have in a savings account with them. They also don\u2019t charge fees like account minimums, overdraft fees, monthly maintenance fees, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting hit with a $35 overdraft fee after an auto-payment went through that you forgot about never feels good. And getting charged a $12 monthly maintenance fee after moving money to savings and dipping below your account minimum doesn\u2019t seem fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that there are banking options out there where you will never have to worry about these fees, and you\u2019re actually excited to log into your bank account because you\u2019ll never be hit with an unexpected fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Takeaway:<\/b> If your bank is charging you fees, switch. There are numerous other options that not only cost nothing but also pay you to keep your money there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an actor, money doesn\u2019t have to feel like an enigma. With these three common money myths for actors debunked, you can now start your retirement account, manage your money without a budget, and start earning money from your bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Money doesn\u2019t have to be confusing or stressful for actors \u2014 especially when you understand the myths that hold you back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of trying to force traditional financial advice onto your unique, fluctuating income and creative lifestyle, embrace strategies tailored for you. Here are some simple, practical steps to take control of your money while keeping your focus on your craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a flexible cash flow system instead of a rigid budget to manage your irregular income and automate bills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open a retirement account like a Roth IRA, even with small or irregular contributions. You can start anytime and build wealth over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t accept bank fees as inevitable; switch to online banks that pay interest and charge no hidden fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your high-income months to buffer the leaner ones, giving you financial breathing room and peace of mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember, managing money creatively means finding systems that work for you, not against your art.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You may also like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/new-year-new-budget-how-to-invest-in-your-acting-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Year, New Budget: How to Invest in Your Acting Career<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/financial-self-care-tips-for-challenging-times\/\">Financial Self-Care Tips for Challenging Times<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/3-money-moves-you-can-make-for-your-acting-career-when-the-industry-is-slow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 Money Moves You Can Make for Your Acting Career When the Industry Is Slow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the financial jargon out there, all the differing opinions, and so much focus on budgeting and bi-weekly paychecks, money can feel like an enigma for actors.
