Helping You Make
   Informed Decisions

Going out on your own as an independent contractor, a consultant or a small business owner is a major decision that can have significant financial implications. You will need to earn 20% to 40% more as an independent contractor than as an employee just to stay even. Self-employed individuals have to pay twice the amount in Social Security and Medicare

When you need extra money to pay some bills, make home improvements or buy a new car, a 401k loan may seem like the perfect solution. At first glance, it seems like a great idea to borrow money from your 401k account and pay interest back to yourself.
