Pension ideas for the full time stocker?

(1/4) > >>

Cider Apple:
Hi Everyone. Been at this full time now for a while now (video) and trying to figure out pension ideas?
I've been putting a % away into crypto for a couple of years and that is doing OK. Keeping it long term for retirement.
I've been toying with the idea of either a private pension or second buy to let home for a future retirement investment too?

I'm also hoping my portfolio will see me right too as I'm hoping it will bring in $$$ even when I stop producing (if I ever do?)

What are other full timers doing in regards to pensions???

Depends on where you live.  SEP-IRA in the US, like any self employed person could do.  Also you should be paying into Social Security if you're doing this full time.

Oh, and you can sell your equipment to buy tuna.

Cider Apple:
UK - I assume National Security is the same as National Insurance (covers NHS and pensions but... this is pittance really). It's also compulsory in the UK.

I'm talking about what people are investing in for when they retire. Stocks? Bonds? Crypto? Housing? or just cash?

I feel it's important and yet not spoken about really?

Also can you see our portfolios still bringing in money in 20 or 30 years time? My best seller is now 8 years old and still brings in a decent amount each year? I find it all fascinating...

As for the future income of stock, at some point users will be able to complete generate all the images they want on demand via software. It is inevitable. A huge demand for stock photos will just vanish. Currently something like half of the photos in an IKEA catalogue are all 3D generated and not real photos, but they look like real photos.

Nothing beats image of real objects while this has been established with decade old CGI and other automation options. Same is true for human generated and machine generated music. Generating images and music from computer is still expensive for being production grade. The real stock image is much cheaper.

For pension idea, it has to be mix of several things. First, the stock image portfolio requires 2-3 year of severe hard work inside the studio. If you cross the magic figure of 30,000 images on sale in your portfolio, may be it can replace your main job.  The safest investment is in gold. It is timeless and its appreciation is sure thing. Stock market carries highest risk. If you have money, let fund managers manage your portfolio.
