Wealth Today

I’ve mentioned HowStuffWorks before in the reference of Marshall Brain. The site has a terrific article on How 401ks Work.

I recently wrote a query for opinions about investing in my 401k vs an IRA and had little response. Thanks to Faisal for the lone advice, I questioned others in my company about the benefits of doing so. I was pointed to a fund with tremendous earnings vs the paltry 3.5%-4.2% of my 401k. Now I’ll be adjusting my 401k contribution to permit the maximum match possible, and then invest any difference into an IRA.
