403b Plans Need Careful Review
Evaluate 403b plans carefully, especially if managed by insurance companies, due to potential high fees and actively managed funds.
Use them if there are decent investment options, but push employers to improve the plan.

Consolidate 401ks, Secure Accounts
Consolidate multiple 401ks into one solo 401k for simplicity and better investment options.
Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to mitigate minimal hacking risks.

Prioritize Business Deductions First
Always claim legitimate business deductions; they're more valuable than sacrificing deductions for retirement contributions.
After deductions, consider mega backdoor Roth for tax-free growth, especially with high marginal tax rates.
