Your pre-tax contributions are capped but your after-tax contribution have no cap. Not all plans allow after tax contributions but many plans do.

I did not know that, I never asked about contributing more to my plans but if possible I prolly would.

Spoke with the director, didnt tell me too much but did say i will need to see some peds cases (not too happy about that but whatever) he said as far as benefits to check out the website of the hospital. Turns out they have a 403b plan as well as something with employer contributions so thats a good thing.

So fo rme to have ot see littl epeople an dmake a helacious commute lets see if they give me a salary I can deal with.

401b = after tax contributions = you dont have to pay taxes on it when you start to draw

401k = pre tax contri = it lowers your current taxable pay level so you dont get taxed more now. When you draw from it, you make less so again, you don't get taxed as much then either.

403b = wiki definition

As far as your old account. Roll it over to a good IRA

1. Wrong.

2. Correct in theory, doubtful in reality.

3. Bad advice without know the circumstances.

Tommy,

If you want decent advice, talk to a qualified advisor.

This is not the place to get solid advice on this subject.

I made a wrong.. I was thinking 401b.

Here's the dl on 403b Wiki

And stating "talking to a qualified finacial advisor" is a big DUH! Who in their fuckin right mind would do what a MC forum thread in OT tells them. WOW...

Normally it gets rolled over into an IRA account.

I am not sure the markets have stabilized.
