What variable costs do you have related to setting a small plan up? Other than a little bit of time, I can't imagine there is so much cost that a little bit of recurring revenue becomes unprofitable.

We have a minimum fee threshold we hit. So in the case of startups we have to charge a flat fee to set it up. We charge $2k for the engagement. It also helps to use the Mutual of Omaha platform because you can outsource a ton of the heavy lifting to them

If the plan is small, we like to take over all benefits - Health, Dental, Vision, life, DI, 401k, and commonly business planning. Even the small ones can be profitable

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.
