Q. I have an option to choose between a traditional pension where I contribute nothing and one to which my employer and I contribute. Which one should I choose?

A. There are a number of factors to consider when making a choice between these types of plans. One should consider the percentage your employer contributes on each plan, which plan has greater flexibility, the vesting schedule, your tax bracket, and the impact on your other assets. You may want to consult a professional financial planner to help you weigh these factors.
