A quick definition of qualified retirement plan:

A qualified retirement plan is a type of retirement plan offered by employers that meets certain requirements set by the government. These plans allow both the employer and employee to contribute money to the plan, which can grow tax-free until the employee retires. This can help increase the overall retirement benefit. However, there are limits on how much can be contributed and when the money can be withdrawn. Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) can also receive tax-deferred treatment if they meet certain requirements, but qualified retirement plans typically refer to employer-sponsored plans.

A more thorough explanation:

A qualified retirement plan is a type of retirement plan offered by employers that meets certain requirements set by the Internal Revenue Code. These plans allow employees to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis, meaning they do not pay taxes on the money they contribute or the earnings on those contributions until they withdraw the money in retirement.

Examples of qualified retirement plans include:

  • 401(k) plans
  • Pension plans
  • 403(b) plans
  • 457 plans

Employers and employees can both contribute to these plans, and employers can deduct their contributions up to a certain amount. However, there are limits on how much employees can contribute each year, and there may be age requirements for retirement.

For example, let's say an employee contributes $5,000 to their 401(k) plan in a given year. They will not pay taxes on that $5,000 until they withdraw it in retirement. If the plan earns $1,000 in interest that year, the employee will also not pay taxes on that $1,000 until they withdraw it in retirement.

To qualify for tax-deferred treatment, these plans must meet certain requirements, such as being permanent and only benefiting employees. Employers must also make required legal filings to maintain the plan's qualified status.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
