Reality Check for Gig Economy Workers
Sid Kess, James Grimaldi, and James Revels offer some important advice to recent graduates (“Financial Planning for Workers in the Gig Economy,” August 2018, http://bit.ly/2NmdHL3). This is particularly important for those taking part in the gig economy, as many young people innocently believe that this kind of work allows them to escape from our income tax system entirely. Reading Kess's piece will prove a sobering experience.
