I had a chance to look up what a 457 plan is - apparently that is directly related to the "Sign up for the Deferred Compensation Program" emails I keep receiving from our admins. It's offered by Great West Retirement Services. I did check out their information - it mentions that the plan may not be right for you if you are in debt, which I am. So, as much as I'd like to sign up, I think I'll wait another year to have my debt paid off first.

Yeah, it took me a while to remember to check what "Deferred Comp" actually stood for. No one here every calls it a 457 plan. lol.

I was in debt when I started mine. Granted at 3% it takes a while to build but at the time I figured it was a start.

I'll have to give this one some serious thought then. I always just deleted the emails because I didn't know what it was. Ignorance is bliss, right? Ha!

thanks Thyme.

it's tax deductible too. And there's calculators out there that will let you plug in your salary and show what the difference in your paycheck would be.
