Only about 16 percent of businesses with fewer than 50 employees in the United States have 401(k) plans. Small-business owners are so focused on developing their businesses that some do not realize that those assets can grow at a much faster rate for their retirement under the right plan.

An October survey by ING DIRECT's ShareBuilder401k, found that "not enough employees" was the top reason cited by small-business owners as to why they do not have a 401(k) plan. That's despite the fact that even sole proprietorships with no other employees can have 401(k)'s.

I am in Oklahoma and am really big into the "off-coastal advantage"...my #1 favorite is lower cost of living. This article says it all...if you can drop your income 46k$, then you can go into REALLY low tax brackets here in the Off-Coastal "heart of America". Time to call my tax guy!
