A flexible 401K plan is a Good Thing. Company I'm with is semi-flexible, in that they have certain pre-defined types of funds you can put money into - but it's good that one of them concentrates entirely upon government securities.

And government securities are a fixed-income investment.

Hey, I only said they allowed it, not that they gave me great choices in that category! :-)

Cheers,
