My last job I had a 401k, but if I get the job I'm interviewing Tuesday for, they have some 457 Deferred Compensation plan. What the heck is the difference? This is the best I could find comparing the two, link. Which is better? |

Appears to be a 401(k) equivalent for government employees. I work for a non-profit and it's a 403(b) plan instead of a 401(k), but it's basically the same thing. |

 Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be :) |

Yes. Depends on one's age, but since Zero is quite young, Roth IRA is the way to go. Gives you WAY more freedom than a 401k. |
My man Donald Driver  (thanks to Pack93z for the pic) 2010 will be seen as the beginning of the new Packers dynasty.    |
