Understanding Retirement Plans: Options for Business Owners

In this episode of Therapy for Your Money we discusses the different retirement plans available to business owners. She details four main business retirement plans: traditional 401k, Safe Harbor 401k, Simple IRA, and SEP IRA. Julie outlines the benefits, limitations, and eligibility criteria for each plan, highlighting how these can align with various business scales and circumstances. She also introduces two personal retirement plans, the IRA and the Roth IRA, noting that business owners may have restricted eligibility for these. Lastly, Julie discusses the concept of ‘backdoor Roth,’ an option for high-income earners who don’t qualify for regular Roth IRAs, and mentions the impact of state-mandated retirement plans. She urges listeners to plan their retirement savings wisely by considering their financial situation and business scale.
