Yes, a 401(k) is a retirement plan that has grown in use since the early 1980's when they were created. Originally, 401(k) plans were meant to supplement traditional pension plans that had been offered by employers. Over the years, that idea has changed 401(k)s from supplemental to primary retirement plans for many employers. A 401(k) is a defined contribution style plan. That means your employer provides the plan and possible contributions to it, but the employee is responsible for the outcome of their plan.Answered on June 3, 2013+01 0+1 this answerflag this answerview more answers by Larry Gilmore
