In this installment of Ask a Fool, Fool contributor Dan Caplinger takes a question from a Fool reader, who writes, “Which is better: a 457 or a 401(k)? If you had a choice for a 457 or a 401(k) or both to invest in, which would be the best option?”

Question also asked can you invest in both?
What about 403 vs 457?
If I have a pension plan that I contribute almost 14% into, how much should I put into my 457? They are seperate. For the past 14yrs I've contributed 3% to 457. Should i do more or less or does it matter if i plan on working 29 years at 2.75% per year of my best 3 yr average
Deferred comp is only for state and local government employee
whats the point neither have a interest rate, i have a annuity that gains 4% interest, i rather put my money in there
457 much better. Who needs that 10% penalty? I might need to pull out and put all my money into a hot option.
