Lighting Designer Lap Chi Chu Appears on Podcast Artistic Finance

Lighting designer Lap Chi Chu discusses career finances and the importance of paying off debt early on the podcast Artistic Finance.

Chi Chu talks about incorporating as a freelancer at age 45 and his most "lucrative" job designing The Wolves.

Thirty years ago, Chi Chu set up a SIMPLE IRA and still contributes to it. He recommended paying off loans early, even if the payments are small and manageable. He also talks about how consistent paychecks from repeat shows or teaching jobs are what make entertainment jobs "lucrative," rather than big paychecks, which don't exist.
