Do you work as an independent contractor, a contract worker, a consultant or a freelancer? If so, you’re part of what’s known as the “gig” economy – and you may need to make some extra moves to help reach your financial goals.

For starters, you need to set up your own retirement plan. Fortunately, you have several to choose from, possibly including a SEP-IRA and a “solo” 401(k), which works much like an employer-sponsored 401(k).

Also, since your income may be uneven or unpredictable, you’ll need an emergency fund to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair. Keep this money in a liquid, low-risk account.

One more suggestion: Make sure you have adequate insurance to protect your family and your livelihood. A financial professional can help you determine the types of coverage you might need.

These aren’t the only moves you may need to make as a gig worker – but they can help provide you with a steady path in a world in which you can’t always tell what lies around the corner.

WHAT IS A WALKABOUT?

The South Park Walkabout is a quarterly fun-filled evening festival that showcases all the unique and independent businesses within South Park. Enjoy complimentary treats, live entertainment and special offers.

WHERE IS THE WALKABOUT?

The Walkabout highlights both the south and north end of the South Park business district. The north end starts at Kalmia and 30th St. and extends south to Beech Street. A few ways to get to South Park

• Take 5 South to 94 East to the 28th S
  treet exit. Turn right on 28th and then right on Beech Street
• Take 5 North to the Pershing Drive exit. Turn right on 26th Street. Head up the hill and make a left on A Street. Another left on 28th Street and a final right on Beech Street.
• Take 805 South or North to 94 West and exit on 28th Street. Turn right onto 28th Street and right onto Beech Street.
• The 30th Street & Beech Street intersection is the south end of South Park. If you turn left on 30th and head north you can easily access Grape Street and Juniper Street, where businesses of South Park are clustered. This stretch is roughly 10 blocks and totally walkable or bikeable for those who prefer, though it gets a little hilly when heading north.

Happy Summer y’all!

We’ve got some fun events coming up for you.  First off, Yoga-Mosa Returns!  Saturday June 25th starting at 9:45 am.  Join the Lovely Jules for an hour yoga sesh and then hydrate with anti-oxidant-rich mimosas! Buy your tickets HERE.

Then, Monday the 27th we’ll be welcoming Romina of Old World Wines to taste us on four wines from Hungary and Greece.  Guaranteed, very few of us will be able to pronounce the name of the grapes correctly, but they sure are fun to drink and it’s fascinating to learn their History. Do as Plato did and drink Agiortiko! $16  ($5 for wine club members) for the tasting and themed snacks.  Tickets available at the door, we’ll see you there 🙂

Then Tuesday the 28th, Art with Rachel returns!  Paint yourself a masterpiece like the one above.  $25 for the class and it’s No-Corkage Tuesday so you can grab a bottle and paint your heart out! Sign up for the class here!

Also, don’t forget to join us this week for BAR WEEK.  We’re offering half off glasses of local wines and $3 guajillo pork empanadas. #eatlocal.

Finally (for now) Walkabout returns July 8th.  You know, keep it on your radar.

Look out for more updates and we’ll see you soon!

Per usual, complimentary bites will abound. So, join the club and the fun: we’ll see you there 🙂 (Read more about the perks of memership and sign yourself up HERE.)

Next up is the South Park Walkabout! March 19th from 6 – 10 PM, the streets of South Park will come alive with the sounds and smells of small business! We, here at The Rose, will be offering 20% off local bottles of wines to-go and, per usual, be slinging (limited amounts of) empanadas on the sidewalk (minus empanadita, our trusty empanada cart, which was stolen during business hours!)

Also on the 19th (in the morning) we are excited to host Modern Craft Camp + Four Things Paper in the sidebar for their Modern Calligraphy 101 and 102 classes.  This one is going to be a lot of fun so hurry up and reserve your spot before the class sells out!

Lastly, we wanted to let you know that, thanks to your support, The Rose has been noticed by San Diego Magazine as one of the top brunch and date-night spots in San Diego!  Woot Woot! Thanks for yelping, enjoying and telling your friends.  We  you :))

My holiday season started Thanksgiving week and it didn’t slow down from there.  You can read about my adventures at the blog here.  Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to take a deep breath and prepare for a brand new year.  Taxes are just around the corner, we are electing a new president, and the much talked about El Niño is finally here for much needed rain. For those of you who succeeded with a handmade holiday in 2015, Congratulations!  It was so great to see so many students in November and December learning how to sew for the first time. And for those of you who have “learning how to sew” as your new year’s resolution, we have our class schedule updated here and look forward to seeing you in the studio!
