About this episode

The episode discusses how high-income earners can qualify for a Solo 401(k) and the benefits of utilizing it for tax-free contributions.

Most high-income earners assume the Solo 401(k) isn't for them. They're wrong. If you have a side hustle, a consulting gig, or a small investment LLC, you likely qualify, and you could be sheltering up to $144,000 per year in tax-free contributions. Bob Fraser and Ellis Hammond sit down with George Blower, co-founder of MySolo401k.net, to break down exactly how this works and why so few people are taking advantage of it. You'll learn: The two simple requirements to qualify How to run the Mega Backdoor Roth strategy inside a Solo 401(k) Why leveraged real estate here avoids UDFI taxes entirely How to get set up for as little as $650 Have more questions, or want more resources like a tax calculator?
