Prepare for the future
Many artists report that they plan to work until they die.
Although it sounds pretty depressing, it's a fair reflection of the motivation and expectation of many artists. Artists are amongst the least likely professionals to have a pension plan - relying instead mostly on equity on property to see them through in their old age. And many artists see their careers as a life-long activity.
But with a bit of financial planning, you can make more time for your practice as you get older, as well as protect your property and work with insurance and plan your estate and inheritance.
