risk: When the priority is building your business, it is all too easy to push pensions aside, according to The Guardian. But the oversight could prove disastrous. But many who work for themselves are at risk of an uncertain old age or in some cases even poverty because they are putting nothing aside for their retirement. Figures show that more than 60% of self-employed workers are not saving in a pension or long-term savings. Alarmingly, three in 10 self-employed people are saving nothing and have little or no safety net should they find themselves unable to work or if their business started to struggle. This compares with about 30% of employees.
