Finally at the point where we can start allocating money toward hubby’s 457. Don’t get a match so focused on maxing out our Roths and my 401K.
In our 40s, so may seem late starting this but it’s a second career and he already has pension from the first and will get one for this job too.
I know to avoid funds with front load and high expense ratios. Trying to figure what the best allocation and diversification is right for us. Any input greatly appreciated or if you know of a good site that might guide us
