A one-person business can legally shelter far more than any job's 401(k) — because you're the employee and the employer. This is the honest, IRS-grounded math. No "be-your-own-bank" gimmicks. Just real 2026 numbers.
Slide your net self-employment profit. Watch the shelter build.

A refugee who landed in America at eleven — a Malaysian camp, a foster family, three jobs at once. A business degree from the Carlson School at the University of Minnesota. A decade in the FBI's Foreign Counterintelligence division. Twenty years reuniting his entire family, one person at a time. Now semi-retired, helping his wife run their nail salon in Bloomington, Minnesota — and writing the playbooks he wishes he'd had. This is book #500.
