Adding a Cash Balance Plan to a 401k Plan
DecaMillionaire Decoded
Actuaries and Defined Benefit Plans
This chapter explores the role of actuaries in handling the calculations and testing for defined benefit plans. It emphasizes the importance of being conservative in cash balance plans to avoid overcontributing and negatively impacting retirement income.
In episode 193 of Financially Simple, Justin and Jennifer McConnell take a look at adding a Cash Balance to a 401k plan.
As a successful business owner, the provisions of the 401k might be too limiting, and you might want to increase the amount that you can put away - a Cash Balance might be the answer. Justin and Jennifer explain what a Cash Balance plan is, how it works, and who it’s for.
