Episode 8: Taxes Without the Dread
Nobody explains what replaces automatic withholding once you're self-employed. Marcus and Renée break down self-employment tax (it's not a penalty, it's just the employer's missing half), quarterly estimated payments, and the safe harbor rule that protects people with variable income.
Diego, a freelance photographer, had his best financial year and his worst tax surprise — a big bill plus an underpayment penalty, because he never set anything aside. His fix: the "tax bucket" habit, 25–30% moved immediately on every payment, calculated using Episode 7's bookkeeping. The episode also covers real deduction math, home office rules (including a clean example from Lyra), leasing vs. buying equipment, the actual difference between an employee and an independent contractor, and a brief on when to start thinking about SEP-IRAs and tax deferral.
This closes out the Side Hustle Structure phase — the 3 C's, forming an LLC, bookkeeping, and now taxes. This episode ties to Chapter Eight of Side Hustle Banking & Building Wealth by Don Swann, and connects to Freelancer's Fortune for retirement planning specifically.

Habit, Not Hobby — structure over guesswork, one small move at a time.
