| 0:00.0 | You are allowed to have a solo 401k with any type of small business in revenue. So if you have a |
| 0:06.6 | side hustle, maybe you're driving Uber. You can fund a solo 401k with your Uber revenue. You're |
| 0:11.0 | selling something online. You're doing a small service. You run a janitorial business in the |
| 0:15.5 | evenings with your family. I don't know. Any type of business income you're generating, |
| 0:19.8 | you are allowed to have a solo |
| 0:21.4 | 401 on top of a work 401k and on top of a Roth. |
| 0:25.8 | But you can also roll over existing retirement account dollars. So if I've got an old |
| 0:29.7 | employer 401k with traditional 401k dollars, even Roth 401k dollars, I can roll that into my |
| 0:36.5 | solo 401k. The gateway to that into my solo 401K. |

| 1:22.6 | Yeah, the solo 401K is the number one retirement account you should know about if you're |
| 1:26.9 | self-employed. And if you're someone who's self-employed, we run across those clients all the time, real estate agents. You could be the doctor, the dentist, the consultant, the Uber driver. I don't care what you are. You're self-employed, but you have no other employees. So the government said, hey, we should let these people have their own 401k too. |
| 1:45.1 | It's not just for big companies that have all these employees. |
| 1:48.3 | These self-employed people, this gig economy that's got so many people in it now, let's let them have their own 401k, where they can put 70 grand a year in it. |
