The fact that I didn't pay tax on any of that $14K really means that it only cost me about 10K since thats all I would have gotten had it been "taxable income" In addition to that the company will match 75% of 9% of my salary. Assuming I will make $100K this year, the company will put in almost $7000. What this boils down to is I have $14000+$7000 going into my 401K as opposed to $10K if I didn't do the 401K. Thats over a 100% return just for playing.

If you need term life insurance, try First Penn Pacific. I have a 250K, 20 year policy with them. The annual premium is $400. I pay quarterly, so it's $472 per year.
They are pilot friendly. My neighbor, who sells life insurance and is also retired National Guard, found this to replace my SGLI.
