The most expensive and complicated retirement plan for the self-employed, the defined benefit plan is most appropriate for someone with a mountain of money to save for retirement.

Employers can save a maximum of $195,000 per year. But you need an actuary to determine the amount that can be contributed, which adds to the cost of the plan.moneypuzzle

In contrast, the Solo-K, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs allow more flexibility by allowing employers to reduce contributions in a year with poor cash flow.

Next year will be the retirement year for Uncle John.   He’s been toiling in one Flint GM factory or another for 35-plus years, and he’s about done with it.   Work— tinkering with cars, boats, and home remodeling tasks— can still give him a charge, but crawling out of bed every weekday morning at 5 to slap together torque converters wears on him.   He’d rather spend time hunting and fishing, and also with his grand-kids.

John is pretty young for retirement.   He’s in excellent shape— SAY NO TO Alcohol and Cigarettes and he’s able to carry his 150lb outboard trolling motor down a flight of stairs into his basement every winter’s eve for storage.   He’s paid into the Social Security pensions system since he was a teenager, when payroll taxes were 6%.   Most of that money went straight to retirees drawing direct benefits at the time.   Today, payroll taxes are 12.4%, a partial reflection of a trust fund set up in 1983, so John’s kids and grand-kids, and nephews, wouldn’t have to worry about their Social Security later on.   Just like John isn’t one to worry.
