Retire Right
Entrepreneur, March, 2001 by ROBERT McGARVEY
The Web's got the answers to your retirement-plan questions.
401(k), IRA, SEPP, Keough--how much do you really know about retirement planning? Are you sure it's enough? How well you and your employees retire and how much you pay in taxes are directly shaped by your retirement planning mainly because most retirement contributions are deductible). The bad news: None of this stuff is easy to decipher. Even worse, if you fumble this ball, you'll pay more taxes--and everybody involved will retire a pauper. Ouch.

So if you find yourself at a loss when tricky questions come up--as in, What's the chief advantage of a 401 (k)?--don't just guess, hit the Net for an answer. There are plenty of topnotch retirement planning sites. For instance, one best-of-breed site is Quicken's (www.quicken.com/ retirement), which contains most of what you need to know. Also worth glances are: www.investorguide.com/Retirement.htm. www.401kafe.com, www.savewealth.com and http:// moneycentral.msn.com/retire/home.asp.
