Your Debt Should Make You Uncomfortable
Hello. Merry Christmas. Thank you for taking my call.

Your Debt Should Make You Uncomfortable
Yeah. So I just received a promotion at work and the new compensation package makes me ineligible to contribute to the company 401k plan. So they've offered a different plan Pre-tax dollars, a small match, but it's unqualified. I'm curious what your thoughts are on unqualified plans and if this is the right.

No, they have told me that if the compensation exceeds a certain amount, the plan is not able to be contributed to.

The rate of return is based on a specific bond fund. I don't have that in front of me. Recently in the last year, it was about 5%.

So the new compensation package base is $165,000 with a potential up to $250,000.
