The plan is to build up my DG investments.
Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I do like money growing tax deferred.
Usually, investing in 401ks and IRAs is the better choice. However, there are a few issues with such accounts.
1) If your goal is to retire earlier than 59.5 years of age, you will not have immediate access to your 401k/IRA.
2) Some company 401k plans have terrible (or at least sub par) investment choices.
