[Hidden-tech] Personal 401k plans

[Lisa Sieverts]

I've been happy with a simple self-employed retirement plan through the Freelancers Union. It's managed by Milliman and Charles Schwab and from what I can tell, it's a good deal.

I'd love to hear what others think about this. I wanted to begin saving again and this was an easy way to get started.

>>> I was wondering if anybody spent any time looking at 401k plans for companies of one.  I have a plan through T. Rowe Price for my consulting business that only employs me and I have nothing bad to say about them other than I fear that I’m paying too much in fees.  This fear isn’t based on anything other than an NPR report saying that 401k fees are too high and that I went with T. Rowe Price went I started my business because my last full time employer used T. Rowe Price.

I also figure this may be something of interest to others as the 401k deduction is quite generous for sole proprietors.  (Strictly speaking it’s a combination of SEP and 401k but I use 401k because more people know 401k’s than SEP’s, even if they are functionally the same and simply different parts of the tax code, at least as far as I can tell).
