10 Ways to Save for Retirement if You're Self-Employed

For many workers, investing for retirement is pretty easy. If you work in a traditional job, your employer may offer a 401(k). You can sign up to contribute to it and then have pre-tax contributions taken directly from your paycheck. Your employer may even match some of the money you're putting in.

Self-employed individuals can't rely on an employer to help with this process. But the good news is, if you work for yourself, you may be able to take advantage of many different kinds of retirement savings accounts that provide generous tax breaks and make it easy to save for the future.

Here are 10 possible accounts you could use to save for your retirement and build the nest egg you need to be secure in your later years -- even if you're self-employed or own your own business.
