So much more controlled then a 401K. And once you make the decisions they are cast in stone and cannot be changed.

Thank you, ride,

I just looked up Rabbi Trust, now that you have told me that it is similar. Interesting and a little historic in its origin, too.

In spite of the Rabbi Trust's somewhat possible potential for complications, I can see where it could be a good thing to have the opportunity to be able to use with a solid employer.

I learned something today on TOTV.
